    Meet the Hirochi WL-40, a large wheel loader designed for carrying rocks, marble blocks, logs (and buses) that pairs well with it's HT-55 cousin. Featuring hydraulic articulated joystick steering, only a pivoting rear axle with no suspension and a simulated rimpull pedal, it offers a unique driving and operational experience.

    A dedicated instructional how-to video is coming soon!

    I absolutely love this colossal creature so much - thank you for making this. Instantly one of my favorite vehicles in the game. Love that it has articulated steering, as well.

    However, will the start/finish line overhead boards for time trials be adjusted in height to allow for this (and the HT-55) to be raced? I understand that's not their primary purpose, but it would be fun to autocross them. (The ETK procedural tracks have already had their gates expanded once to allow for larger vehicles.)

    Also, I think it's a bit odd that only the huge Hirochis are in their own section between the vehicles and props - if they're going to be given a new section, then arguably, the Wydra/Aurata could also be given a new "ATVs" section (and maybe also a "Bus/Limo" section for the Wentwards and GM limo).
