    Well, after tracking back the past 10 pages of Suggestions, I have found no mention nor want of a Modern D-Series Pickup. However I think this would be an interesting niche to fill in. Think, we have some newer model sedans, a new-ish model SUV I don't think updating the D-series to Mid 2000s would be too much of a stretch. When I look at our current version I see that we have a Late 80's (Think '88 '89) to mid 90's mashup of Ford, Dodge, and Chevy/GMC's styles and so I think that we could totally get this. I know modern vehicles take a LOT of modeling work, but I mean the Pessima got two versions, I don't think it would be too big a stretch for the D-Series to be modernized, if the Pessima can get aged.

    (Splitting this into two Beacause I didn't want OP to be rambley)

    The big decision would really be General Model year, like what should the generation's production lifespan be set over and which truck should we put a bit more of a lean towards. Because we can all see that in the era the D-Series was made that trucks were pretty same-ish. Kind of square with a V8 and optional 4WD. But after 1998 pickups really diverged so the aesthetic decision of time would need to be made. As such I will soon be putting up a poll so that we can decide on the manufacturer whom we like the style of most. We all know that Gavril is a bit of a pull together of Ford, and Chevy/GMC (Chevy and GMC are the exact same) so those will both be options as well as Dodge, because their trucks are interesting.

    Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!

    This is a great idea. Maybe even a modern Roamer?

    Look at my profile. Chevy rules. But I like sports cars like the camaro and corvette more than trucks.

    Dodge and Ford rule this country. Camaro is crap, Corvette is pretty good, and the 2014 SS is nice.

    This is getting a little off topic, so let's just end me and @blueshift1980's conversation. I never said the mopars or fords were crap, I just said I prefer Chevys. So let's all hate ricers and not argue.

    your all fanboys be an enthusiast the modern d series would be nice to have
    since it carries all the similarities of older Chevy's ford and dodge and it was based off of gabester's s10 from ror i personaly think it should be done

    oh yeah how about a raptor, reaper and rebel like configuration to go with it

    those who don't know the reaper is chevy's response to the raptor

    Ideas...
    20160501200655_1.jpg --> default bullbar and fog lights as the rally Ibishu Covet
    20160501200703_1.jpg --> rear examples: the license plate is moved to left (pic below) or as a HUMMER (pic left)

    Cattura.PNG

    20160501200712_1.jpg --> Navigation unit as the ETK

    Let me know what do you think!
    And, yeah, I use Paint as Photoshop, because I don't want to buy/illegally download it! :p

    @Clover710 thank you for your comliments! I saw that you liked my other Paint editing in the 2003 Pessima Facelift! ^=^
    @JohnDeere714 I moved the license plate to make some difference with the normal D-Series.
