Update Speculation thread

one problem I see there is that the front fascia design of the trophy truck doesn't look like a HD truck at all, all modern large american pickups have either double-stacked headlights, or a disproportionately tall grille like the ram.
I'd expect this to be at most like an american 1500, and at this point, i'm leaning more towards something tacoma/ranger/colorado-ish.

a unibody wierdo like a ridgeline/baja/maverick also doesn't seem that far fetched, especially if you presume it's a hirochi and buy into the class-1 SBR conspiracy theory.

I think if they were to make any old style EV conversions, to just slap a modern drive unit in would be a waste of time, it'd be far better to go "remember how awful electric cars were for so long?" with something with 60km of range, 20hp, and 70% more weight just in batteries.
I especially think that a USDM EV adaptation of the Wigeon, and a similar mail-van adaptation of the pigeon would fit in very well.
(I'd also like them to get a live front axle and super 80s viscotronic technogasmic 15-valve turbo GTX-X versions, but alas, they've had their remasters, so getting any more content is unlikely in the forseeable future.)

 

If we do get a new modern truck thingy, I wonder if it's going to be released as a platform like the FCV so we can also get an SUV based on the same platform, kinda like how the Roamer and the D-Series are related, and even were both under the D-Series' vehicle on the menu, like how the Land Cruiser and the Tundra use the same platform.

 

You guys think we'll get loads for the new autobello van?

 

I imagine this could be a good task for a modder if it doesn’t come with one normally. Would make for GREAT police versions too.

delete what?

 

hope its like the pessimas with different generations that count as different vehicles

 

I hope it’s not even a d-series, I hope it’s a Bruckell.

 

I think there is still plenty of space for modern pickup truck.

4x4 in d-series is obviously quite rudimentary. Yes, it has esc in newer variants but the system is worlds apart in terms of capabilities of what tograc can do in off-road mode.

If tograc had proper off-road wheels, ground clearance, and suspension articulation, It would be a very serious machine.

What I’m trying to say that with an advancement in technology new truck would be a very different animal to ancient d-series.

Just imagine a modern 4wd, automatic transmission that can engine-brake on descent, hill descent control, different driving modes for different surfaces (crawl mode etc.), electric sway bars (or the possibility to disconnect them on the fly), air suspension with adjustable ride height, maybe even an independent suspension on all four corners.

Not to mention all of the possible variants like all electric version (which you mentioned) or baja-oriented one (think raptor or TRX).

Would be very cool!

 

i just deleted my comment but it didn't show that i edited it

 

I love all TrackPadUser's mods, they're small in size and they all know their exact roles in the game! As for the Superlite, I especially love the classic variants, with the teardrop-shaped front fenders, which should've never gone from the IRL Caterhams!

 

why bruckell?

 

Because, when compared to Gavril, Bruckell is underrepresented in the game lore and there are quite a few niches left open for Bruckell to fill them in. Gavril has 8 cars (including the Burnside Special) and Bruckell has only 4 (including the Soliad Wendover). Plus, the 80s Full-Size Pick-Up Truck niche is already covered by the D-Series.

 

If not Bruckell then Ibishu

I also think that if they create modern SUV then Bruckell should have pickup truck and Wendover SUV. Just because Wendover is more luxury

 

you mean a soliad suv? the wendover is the model, soliad is the make

 

May be off topic, but is anyone considered that we may eventually get a new Soliad?

 

I hope so. I hope its an ugly but cool 2000s Buick thing. that just needs to be in beam

still holding out hope for a Sneak-Peek SundayTM

 

You'd probably like Urbanmaid's Raython vehicles

 

yeah, I use the Bruckell LeGran 2 a lot, but I like the Raython ones too
