    I introduce you to the Ibishu Callisto:
    front.jpg rear.jpg side.jpg
    Lore: In 2022, the Japanese car manufacturer, Ibishu, released their all-new full-size pickup truck named "Ibishu Callisto". Named after Jupiter's second largest moon, this big utility vehicle was produced with having luxury and capability as its main priorities, suggesting it would perform well enough in off-road situations as well. It was made mostly for the US market and it's planned to stay in the production until 2028.
    The Callisto was offered in various trims such as "PRIME" and "PRESTIGE" base trims, "LIMITED" mid-range trim, "PLATINIUM" and "EDITION 1" luxury trims and "RUGGED" and "RUGGED PRO" off-road trim. The price starts at 39,985$ for the Prime base trim as the cheapest trim, and goes all the way to the Rugged Pro trim with the starting price of 68,645$.
    Available powertrains for the Callisto are a 3.5 L V6 twin-turbo engine with three different tunes, each with some little changes in the horsepower number. Another option is a 3.8 L V6 turbo diesel and also a hybrid variant with a naturally aspirated 3.5 L V6 paired with an electric motor. All of them have an 8-speed Automatic gearbox.

    What's this post about? I really like to see more modern cars in the game and since we only have one pickup in the game, the Gavril D-Series, I thought it would be cool to have a modern pickup truck as well in the game. Therefore I thought maybe a US market full-size pickup truck but actually from a Japanese company would make sense, since there are already some of these kind of trucks in real life and they're quite popular. So I reimagined one of them (The new Toyota Tundra) as an Ibishu for BeamNG and here's the result.
    I did try modding myself, but since I didn't have enough knowledge on that, I couldn't push the project forward enough. So instead, I made some digital sketches and renderings that I am sharing with you.

    I really hope we can get something like this in the game and if you're a BeamNG modder seeing this, I'd be more than happy to help with the design of the mod and feel free to use these sketches as an idea for your project.
    I'm currently working on designing an other car, the "ETK X-SERIES" which is going to be a modern german high-performance coupe SUV. When I finish that, I'd also share the design sketches and renders of that too, here on the forums.
    Wish the best!

    I know this is a modern pickup mod, which I am super hyped for btw and I am definitely going to follow this thread, but even most modern pickups still have at least one V8 option available. Will you consider adding a modern V8 to the engine options?

    Judging by the way it looks here that it's more like the newer Toyota Tundras by the looks of it's design.

    This looks amazing! Any progress? I'd love to see this truck come to BeamNG.Drive! It would be an immediate favorite!

    HOLY CRAP THATS GOOD! I REALLY hope someone makes this into a mod (Or maybe even an official vehicle).

    Sure! I mean I don't have the modding knowledge myself, but if I can help the mod creators (probably more with the design and the looks), I'd be happy to do so.
