    It would be really cool to have a dedicated offroad race/stunt truck that is not based on the D-Series or any other vehicle, if possible it would have many variants such as stadium truck, trophy truck, crawler, etc. Wouldn't need to have too many interchangable parts between the variants, just a bunch of dedicated tube frames with each of them having its own parts. Maybe even one of them could be a monster truck? That would be cool.

    Oh don't even get me started on that; it would be great. While I would prefer to see this niche/motorsport discipline filled with an axle swap D-Series, we could see a stopgap sollution with just some 48" floaters on the Super Pig (hence this comment being on topic here :p)

    Since we have two pre-runner trucks can we have two different suspension setup for them? One to take better big jumps and another one tuned for more flat terrain? Something like with some rally cars that have gravel and tarmac versions.

    Building your own spec'd truck wouldn't be too difficult with the huge amount of parts and tuning available to you. The D Series in particular can be built to literally any specification you want/need.

    I don't want build my own truck. I want simply and quickly choose from two premade options. Like I can do it right now with rally cars.

    I'm sure you are aware that when you have the front offroad wide fenders installed, you cannot reach full bump without having the tire clip the fender and as a result, the front wheels lock up. In fact I'm not positive that it is the fenders, it could be the front facia or any part of the front fender support because when I remove the entire front fender support including the facia, there is nothing that fouls the tire. it would be truly awesome if this problem could be fixed in a future update. It might be difficult because to achieve the necessary clearance it would require i redesign of the body work at the front of the truck... but it would be greatly appreciated because it would allow us to run a full set of bodywork without compromising offroad performance.

    forgive my ignorance, but does anyone know the function of the fuel cell hose with the clear sight glass on it?
    the others are quite apparently the fuel fill hoses, and the feed/return lines, but I'm not aware of what the other breather is.

    Might be a bleed line for moisture, but I'm not sure
