Update Speculation thread

A modern Bruckell Full-Size BOF platform with the modern Bruckell engines (the 3.5 V6 and the 5.7/6.5/6.5 Supercharged V8s plus a small V6 turbodiesel for the Light-Duty model and a big I6 turbodiesel for the Medium-Duty and Heavy-Duty models) and the 8-Speed Automatic would be really nice!
But I'd also love a Midsize Pick-Up (like the Ford Ranger, size-wise) for the Ibishu brand. Even ETK could have such a car because it makes the 2.0 I4 and 3.0 I6 turbodiesels!

In fact, along with the Midsize Pick-Up, ETK could be making a whole lineup of commercial vehicles based on these two engines, with a little help from Cherrier at the lower end. The smaller Vans (a City Van, an Intermediate Van and a Midsize Van - see Renault Kangoo, Fiat Scudo and VW Transporter, respectively) could be FWD and have the Cherrier 1.5 and 2.0 I4 diesels, while the larger Van (a Full-Size European Van - see VW Crafter or Mercedes Sprinter) could be RWD and have the ETK 2.0 I4 and 3.0 I6 turbodiesels. Cherrier and ETK could be badge engineering and building these Vans in a joint venture, selling them under their own nameplates and dealerships and, of course, sharing many parts! The FWD vans of the joint venture could share the Cherrier 1.5/2.0 I4 turbodiesels and the Cherrier Diesel 6-Speed Manual/Diesel 7-Speed DCT, while the RWD ones could share the ETK 2.0 I4/3.0 I6 turbodiesels and the ETK Diesel 6-Speed Manual/Diesel 8-Speed Automatic. All of above could share the Cherrier 16in Steel Wheels though, since ETK doesn't make steel wheels for its modern cars!

edit: With that being said, an even smaller Van than the City Van could be made and the 2008 Fiat Fiorino is the perfect example for that! It could only come standard with the Cherrier 1.5 I4 turbodiesel and share the aforementioned Cherrier 16in Steel Wheels too!

 

Sorry for the late response but why does it bother you so much like damn it’s a literal name

“I think it’s unacceptable for you to have the username DannyZGR15 because it doesn’t fit my personal opinion” do you realize how silly you sound

 

It’s a different generation yet people don’t get mad when they use a brand-name it’s perfectly logical and I don’t see a problem. People need to stop complaining. Nobody is being forced to buy mods, And creators should receive a small reward for the months of work that they put in into something. I’m surprised that nothing more people are complaining that beam itself is paid. I can’t stand this ridiculous childish community anymore, nothing is ever “free”

 

J/*cough* except most mods *cough*

 

they still had to put their time and labor into making them, which isn't free.

 

free to use

 

Didn't you see the little "J/" in front of it? I mean light grey isn't THAT hard to see...

 

iirc that wasn't there before or I didn't see it

 

Doesn’t matter, point is that you had to buy the game so nothing is in retrospect “free” from the very start.

As everyone here have said, no one forces you to buy or look at paid mods, just as the trillion other things we walk past every day hoping we’d one day be able to afford or be able to buy regularly; it’s not a rolls royce superstore, it benefits everyone and doesn’t take away anything from our current situation so at this point I just don’t understand why you’re still so against it. Yes you can say it’s a joke over and over but when you have more messages explaining the joke rather than the actual joke you gotta at some point understand that it wasn’t that funny

You didn't see it. Notice how that post has no "last edited" time.

 

Just noticed something else too: Bruckell could also have a Midsize Pick-Up, but this time it could be somewhat older than the Bruckell Full-Size one we talked about several posts back and be based on the older Bruckell engines.
As its base powertrain, it could have the Bruckell 2.5 I4, complete with the 3-Speed Automatic and 5-Speed Manual transmission options plus only RWD.
The middle ground could be covered by the venerable Bruckell 3.8 V6, complete with the 4-Speed Automatic and 5-Speed Manual transmission options plus a choice between RWD, AWD and 4WD drivetrains.
And, as a nicely unique bonus, the top engine could be the Bruckell 309CUI V8 (or 5,064cc/5.1l V8) but modernized, with touches like Fuel Injection and a Sport Intake, and complete with the same 4-Speed Automatic/5-Speed Manual transmission options and RWD/AWD/4WD drivetrain options as the 3.8 V6!
In a few words, a late-80s-to-mid-90s Midsize Bruckell Pick-Up! Not to mention that an early-to-mid-90s Midsize Bruckell SUV could also be based on the same BOF construction and powertrain offerings!

 

And both of these could be made to rival the D-Series and Roamer!

 

As I am lots of other people said 1 million times, a modern pick up truck with the bastion drivetrain would be absolutely perfect

 

Moving this discussion here because I'm tired of it filling up the T-Series Add-On thread. Seems more relevant here.

 

Would it make sense? I'm not an expert but can a car drivetrain be good enough for a pickup?
If it does I'm surprised there's not a mod of that already

 

Wait a damn minute. I swear 2 months ago it was legthepeg official and i even mentioned it?????? Am i tweakinh

 

The concept of asking a moderator to change your name is truly mindblowing

 

Not really. The D-Series and the Roamer are Full-Size vehicles. The ones I'm talking about are Midsizers, so smaller.

We have the Grand Marshal which is motivated by the 4.5 and 5.5 SOHC V8s (plus the 6.9/423CUI OHV V8) of the D-Series/Roamer/H-Series, so yes, I don't see any reason why the Bastion engines (complete with the same 8-Speed Automatic) can't power a duo of Full-Size BOF Bruckell Pick-Up and SUV models.

And a modern SUV on the same Bruckell BOF construction!

 

As already mentioned by others, that is standard practice. More or less at least, since you'll have different tunes and accessories, engine bay layouts, etc..

To get a little bit more in depth, here's some examples:

• Current gen F-150:
  • Second gen ecoboost engine: The F-150 got the 2.7, but a larger displacement version is also found in the Lincoln continental, Lincoln MZK
  • D35 Ecoboost: Also found in the Noble M500, Ford GT (including the LM car), and Adamastor Furia. The prior generation of this engine was also in the Taurus and Lincoln MKR.
  • Modular V8: Some variation of it has been offered in I believe every V8/V10 Ford/Lincoln since 1990, as well as a huge number of other manufacturer's cars (including several supercars and a bus).
• Current gen Ram
  • Hurricane: Also found in the next gen Charger
  • Modern Hemi: All of the Chrysler L-platform cars that were mass produced and sold in the US (Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300, and the Dodge Magnum back when that was still a thing)
  • Chrysler Pentastar: Same as the above + the Lancia Thema, Dodge Avenger, and Chrysler 200
  • Ecodiesel: A prior generation of the engine was in the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte
• Chevy Silverado
  • L3B: Cadillac CT-4
  • LS: Everything

In summary, it's easier to list the engines that can't be found in a normal car. That list would basically just be the big diesels and gassers from the heavy duty trucks.

It depends how we define "rival". As far as something like towing capacity goes a modern midsized would be comparable to an older full sized truck.
