Separate names with a comma.
The two reference trucks are meant to be: The cabover is a reference to the tow truck from Terminator 2, obviously there’s no tow truck upfit...
I wouldn’t mind having a lowboy either for the hauling of the game’s larger vehicles, like the Wentworth and various configurations of T series.
Sure. Wouldn’t really be an effective use of the platform but I’ve seen people do both. It’s more of a custom thing than something a factory would...
I know atleast Mack in the 70s and 80s offered R and F models with either steel dashboards or plastic dashboards. I’m weird in the way I prefer a...
Mack made 707 CUI I6 gasoline motors for trucks for a while, 200-250hp. There’s countless others, that’s just one of the more legendary examples....
I would imagine much like every remaster so far, the new will replace the old. Now that being said I’m sure we’ll still have the same variants...
I’ve been on the internet for a hot minute, I know how to do my homework. But now that someone has brought up the port, wonder if we’ll ever see...
Here’s some actual sales material showing some potential paint options for customers.
The T series is of an era when there was no EMS to break, they just rolled coal because the driver put their foot on floor at relatively low RPM.
Up in Canada drop/lift axels are actually illegal, I usually only see them on dump trucks or heavy haul trucks. Granted US heavy haul is the rest...
If we do get an air system, it would be nice to get air suspension, as much as walking beam suspension is great for off-roading, air bags are much...
I guess context matters, and I was thinking the entirely wrong context. An air system is indeed a fluid system.
Air is not a fluid, and fluids do not typically like being compressed… that being said the basic principle of engine RPM spinning a thing to...
A simulated air system would be cool, even if only used for the brakes. I don’t see why it would be much more difficult than the hydraulic system...
There’s so much documentation on how semi trucks are made that’s available. I have pretty detailed diagrams for 1950s trucks lying around, and...
You should try it some time, older Macks have a cult like following, and there’s good reason for it. Just look at how many R models are still on...
I mean, the character is just a stylized Mack Superliner.
In case it wasn’t clear yet, I’m a Mack fan myself. Hoping this remaster takes a few cues from the Mack Superliners and Cruiseliners.
Very much agreed. I’m probably one of the few people who genuinely enjoys driving those old cabovers.
Also, pure speculation here, but some of those bottom frames seem perfect length to be heavy duty tow trucks. It’s something a lot of ATS players...
