    The only thing that perfect truck need in 2023 is a gooseneck hitch

    This mod needs openable panels!

    The mod is now marked "On Hold" to better reflect the lack of progress. It is also partially incompatible due to having the outdated fifth wheel option, but I didn't want to mark it outdated as most of the mod is still functional. I unfortunately don't have any plans (or time really) to update it but if anyone swaps the new fifth wheel over, I'm happy to post it as a compatibility update

    Yeah, so uh update 0.31 completely changed some things like the vanilla fifth-wheel trailer connections... Hopefully, it still works. They also added Jake Brakes if you wanted to add them.

    I'm aware what the update added which is why I made the announcement. Outdated fifth wheels do not work with the new system

    I would help but I have 0 modding experience. Hopefully (if you choose to) these new 5th wheels are not too hard to implement.

    This update did add some interesting opportunities for the truck though. Adjustable 5th wheels, and trailer brake systems could lead to much better trailer usage than ever before for this truck.

    I'm... perfectly aware of the new features and the (non) difficulty of carrying over the fifth wheel. I would update it if I still had interest and time in maintaining this mod but I simply don't.

    Please carry over the fifth wheel. Just this one simple thing will make it work again, then you can leave it alone forever.

    That's not as "simple" as it sounds, it could require a rework of the entire mod to restore functionality. It's been made clear there is no motivation to continue this project as of now.

    Oh... but the modder said himself the "(non) difficulty" of it.

    Obviously hinting that Ren doesn't want to even look into it. I'm 100000% sure your insistence is falling on deaf ears.

    I'm just gonna be spilling my ideas here though it's more of a suggestion so I'm very sorry that I disobeyed the very obvious warning;

    The new Demountable Rims with the T-Series would be very fitting for the Durham
    A gooseneck hitch for obviously the previously added Gooseneck trailers from 0.30 (which a lot of people already has suggested before)
    The newly added Cargo boxes for the campaign
    Dynamic Mirrors
    A shorter dumper bed (frequently suggested as well but I'll just repeat it)
    and the remastered upfits from the T-Series (Flatbed, Box & Rollback bed[Maybe])

    That is all, I'm fully aware that its a lot to ask for of course although I'm just spilling my ideas or expectation for the upcoming update is all.

    My apologies if the author and everybody else finds this really annoying, do excuse me and I'm sorry.:D

    You can be sure that I'm aware and have thought about everything you said and dozens of other things that would fill out this entire page if I were to list down, which is also the reason I did not want any suggestions as I'd most likely be aware of everything that's doable and possible. So far, I've only gotten one suggestion on this thread that I did not know was a thing. You can also be sure there's no upcoming update as I'm simply not motivated to work on this product, the jbeam is old and outdated and most of all just not good, the cab is outdated and most models that weren't entirely scratch made are a total hackjob which I'm not proud of at all.
    Besides simply not having time or motivation for this, I would also rather work on different mods and models which I am occasionally doing as I find time, I hope at least some of those things will be made into actual mods one day.

    :( So are you saying that this mod is effectively abandoned? And if so are others allowed to update it/ hotfixes?

    I don't have motivation to continue it for a few reasons I can't disclose, but what might be the route I pick is a newer interpretation using the van cab instead of the pickup cab, and also a small cabover cousin similar to the third generation TopKick/Kodiak and the GMC T-series, and the only similarity it would bear to the old one is the nameplate. The current iteration was a fun mod and I learnt a lot but it's too not-good for me to do anything with anymore.

    As before, take what I say with a grain of salt as I don't know if I'll ever get to such a project

    I don't think I should speak for all but i'm going to anyway:
    I completely understand why you would not want to mod. I don't do modding but from what I have heard it's a huge pain. I don't know what's happening in your life nor do I want to know but I feel you and I personally think you're choosing the right choice.
