New medium-duty truck? Cool! It really looks like Durham, so it might have inspiration from GMC Topkick and Chevrolet Kodiak (and other trucks too).
Most probably, it is. It was mentioned on some release highlights, not sure which one exactly. There is also a full set of v8d_12500cc_1990_01 sounds, including starter, for this engine.
You are right. you can find info about in in the sprouting makeovers in beamng.drive v0.32. They said "Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, some of the planned features were not included in the current release. This means that you have more to look forward to in future updates, including a V8 engine, additional frame options, and more axle configurations." I'm excited for this update, just hope that they do not rush it. Quality over quantity
I honestly don't think the devs have made the Durham mod itself official content, they just drew inspiration from it.
Do I even need to say 0.33 is a medium duty truck now? --- Post updated --- yes it is --- Post updated --- We did --- Post updated --- After a major "reveal" teaser like this, they usually release the update that week or the next week. Here's hoping 0.33 is just around the corner! --- Post updated --- They probably had this idea, never got around to it before, and now everyone thinks it started and was influenced by the Durham mod.
I'm surprised no-one's mentioned the new looking tire marks in the new teaser while the truck is sliding.
