    Yeah thats what I mean is to have a regular D-series Durham with a hood that looks like the hood of a Chevrolet 5500

    I know what you mean. However, I need a modern D-series for that to work

    Oh, well I'm sure the beamng team will eventually add a modern civillian truck from the SP Dunekicker then the idea can come to light.

    If so, and if it's a Gavril, I'll consider it then

    How's the suspension on this one? And what about the Transmissions, have you considered adding like a 9-12 trans?

    9 speed splitter will be made once I receive my shifter. I'll also include a traditional 9 speed for keyboard/controller users. The suspension is an upright leaf swinging tandem design

    Driveshafts not yet properly made and jbeam is also not acting as well as I'd like. Though both are hopefully fixable

    Oh wow! I'm excited to have more news from you with this 6x4 / 6x6 config you'll be adding, fitting for off-roading with a loaded trailer.
    Say, is there any way that you can add a fifth wheel addon for the none commercial frames and
    a Rollback Car Hauler for the Commercial C65 Chassi? I mean, it'd be fair to have another
    Heavy Duty Tow Truck other than the T-Series, though we do have the C55, but it's still the normal size
    and have the Reinforced Axle added for the Commercial ones, though the Reinforced one is maybe unlikely since you're working on
    to improving the Suspensions, at least the wheel axles are also weak at this current version.

    Jesus, I said a lot of stuff, I'm sorry if I've said a lot than I should be but that's at least my questions or suggestion, I do
    know suggestions are not allowed but I assume some of the stuff that I mentioned won't be that time consuming as I'd hope.

    But yes, I'm aware that most of the stuff I said here must've been brought up already or already planned up ahead for future updates :p

    Most upfits haven't been added as there isn't usable content with them yet. I can make a fifth wheel for a class 5 truck, however you can either try to attach a bumper-pull trailer to the fifth wheel or try to pull a semi trailer with it. My paid addon will include usable trailers for the upfits I'm going to make, including goosenecks and possibly smaller fifth wheels. Also, there will be a 4 car carrier on the big frames, of which you can remove the upper cab part and you will have a class 6 and above rollback. I do not want to use vanilla content any more on the Durham as I feel that I can make better quality parts than whatever truck accessories we have as of now. This is the same reason for why I want to add my own box, flatbed and dumper upfits as well as remake the semi trailers for future projects
    My work in progress mods. The Elexcell is nothing to hide, it is a 12000 Watt portable generator based on the CAT RP12000E. The Athlon however...

    I'm seeing MACK CHU613 in that thing, and maybe a little Ford Aerostar in there (Though I'm likely mistaken).
    Looks pretty slick man

    Yes, main inspiration is the Mack, though a CH613 and not the SFA CHU613, and a few other trucks mixed in as well. More information will be given due course as the model progresses

    That looks great, I actually have a version of the older teaser you posted here that I brightened and stuff, I’ve kept it to myself for a while but I didn’t wanna post it till you revealed more about the truck. Any way, I think it should be ok now that we know what the front looks like, so here it is

    also, is Athlon Lairon the model name or an actual new brand?

    I knew that it would be brightened and I was fine with it as it didn't reveal a lot of detail :p

    Holy, much more than I expected, so how much is the paid ones? Patreon ones, like from low tier to high tier, I'd love to subscribe and support for your hard work on this beast.

    Are you planning to add more semi diesel engines in the future

    Heh, it's why I don't want people suggesting things as I have too many plans to even consider any of them. And even if there are suggestions, they are probably along the lines of stuff I've already planned out.

    Still trying to figure out where to monetize this as I don't have access to PayPal. For the Durham addon, it will be 7,99 for the mod, one time pay. I'll also create tiers for anyone that wants to continuously support me, through my Buy Me a Coffee account, for now you can only donate in increments of €5. Though this is not necessary at all, I very much do appreciate it :)

    Engines for the Durham or the Athlon? In either case, yes. For the Durham, there will be a newer 8.0L I6 from Phineas, a 6.8L V8 from an unknown manufacturer and also an older 10-or-so liter V8 also from Phineas. The engines for the Athlon... will be revealed due course as progress is progressing
    Larion is the (new) brand, Athlon is the model.
