    A modern Bruckell Full-Size BOF platform with the modern Bruckell engines (the 3.5 V6 and the 5.7/6.5/6.5 Supercharged V8s plus a small V6 turbodiesel for the Light-Duty model and a big I6 turbodiesel for the Medium-Duty and Heavy-Duty models) and the 8-Speed Automatic would be really nice!
    But I'd also love a Midsize Pick-Up (like the Ford Ranger, size-wise) for the Ibishu brand. Even ETK could have such a car because it makes the 2.0 I4 and 3.0 I6 turbodiesels!

    In fact, along with the Midsize Pick-Up, ETK could be making a whole lineup of commercial vehicles based on these two engines, with a little help from Cherrier at the lower end. The smaller Vans (a City Van, an Intermediate Van and a Midsize Van - see Renault Kangoo, Fiat Scudo and VW Transporter, respectively) could be FWD and have the Cherrier 1.5 and 2.0 I4 diesels, while the larger Van (a Full-Size European Van - see VW Crafter or Mercedes Sprinter) could be RWD and have the ETK 2.0 I4 and 3.0 I6 turbodiesels. Cherrier and ETK could be badge engineering and building these Vans in a joint venture, selling them under their own nameplates and dealerships and, of course, sharing many parts! The FWD vans of the joint venture could share the Cherrier 1.5/2.0 I4 turbodiesels and the Cherrier Diesel 6-Speed Manual/Diesel 7-Speed DCT, while the RWD ones could share the ETK 2.0 I4/3.0 I6 turbodiesels and the ETK Diesel 6-Speed Manual/Diesel 8-Speed Automatic. All of above could share the Cherrier 16in Steel Wheels though, since ETK doesn't make steel wheels for its modern cars!

    edit: With that being said, an even smaller Van than the City Van could be made and the 2008 Fiat Fiorino is the perfect example for that! It could only come standard with the Cherrier 1.5 I4 turbodiesel and share the aforementioned Cherrier 16in Steel Wheels too!

    Sorry for the late response but why does it bother you so much like damn it’s a literal name

    “I think it’s unacceptable for you to have the username DannyZGR15 because it doesn’t fit my personal opinion” do you realize how silly you sound

    It’s a different generation yet people don’t get mad when they use a brand-name it’s perfectly logical and I don’t see a problem. People need to stop complaining. Nobody is being forced to buy mods, And creators should receive a small reward for the months of work that they put in into something. I’m surprised that nothing more people are complaining that beam itself is paid. I can’t stand this ridiculous childish community anymore, nothing is ever “free”

    they still had to put their time and labor into making them, which isn't free.

    Doesn’t matter, point is that you had to buy the game so nothing is in retrospect “free” from the very start.

    As everyone here have said, no one forces you to buy or look at paid mods, just as the trillion other things we walk past every day hoping we’d one day be able to afford or be able to buy regularly; it’s not a rolls royce superstore, it benefits everyone and doesn’t take away anything from our current situation so at this point I just don’t understand why you’re still so against it. Yes you can say it’s a joke over and over but when you have more messages explaining the joke rather than the actual joke you gotta at some point understand that it wasn’t that funny

    You didn't see it. Notice how that post has no "last edited" time.

    Just noticed something else too: Bruckell could also have a Midsize Pick-Up, but this time it could be somewhat older than the Bruckell Full-Size one we talked about several posts back and be based on the older Bruckell engines.
    As its base powertrain, it could have the Bruckell 2.5 I4, complete with the 3-Speed Automatic and 5-Speed Manual transmission options plus only RWD.
    The middle ground could be covered by the venerable Bruckell 3.8 V6, complete with the 4-Speed Automatic and 5-Speed Manual transmission options plus a choice between RWD, AWD and 4WD drivetrains.
    And, as a nicely unique bonus, the top engine could be the Bruckell 309CUI V8 (or 5,064cc/5.1l V8) but modernized, with touches like Fuel Injection and a Sport Intake, and complete with the same 4-Speed Automatic/5-Speed Manual transmission options and RWD/AWD/4WD drivetrain options as the 3.8 V6!
    In a few words, a late-80s-to-mid-90s Midsize Bruckell Pick-Up! Not to mention that an early-to-mid-90s Midsize Bruckell SUV could also be based on the same BOF construction and powertrain offerings!

    And both of these could be made to rival the D-Series and Roamer!

    As I am lots of other people said 1 million times, a modern pick up truck with the bastion drivetrain would be absolutely perfect

    Moving this discussion here because I'm tired of it filling up the T-Series Add-On thread. Seems more relevant here.

    Would it make sense? I'm not an expert but can a car drivetrain be good enough for a pickup?
    If it does I'm surprised there's not a mod of that already
