I think the best way to explain this is that it was badge engineered from some company (potentially ETK, judging by the ever present dip in the center of the grill). --- Post updated --- If this happened, flat engines simply wouldn’t be present.
The Chevy Corvair Van has a rear aircooled flat 6, and it dosent take up much cargo space in the back because the engine cover becomes the cargo floor, and it has a bulge in the front, I know this because i am working on a 1963 Corvair Panel Van
I saw someone on the BeamNG subreddit call this the Bello Bus and I am stealing that name. Honestly the thing I'm most excited for was previously an off road config with flatbed upfit and a performance engine, but looking at that funky suspension set up makes me excited just for the box standard config. A portal swing axle truck would be awesome to have in game.
Pretty sure people stopped debating about when it's coming or going as much and started debating content within the update again, so I must say I'm not sure I can agree with that assessment.
I think it 100% will have an engine under driver’s compartment. The new inline 6 diesel would fit right in.
What?? A flat-4 is one of the most space-efficient piston engines possible, it's only as long as an inline twin and not nearly as tall, just wider. Perfect for well-balanced 4WD systems, just ask Subaru On the other hand, looking at the front axle, it seems the engine is behind or over it as in most classic 4x4's. This doesn't mean it can't be a flat-4, but there's no way to tell at the moment
Pretty sure that it has rear wheel steering... The rear wheels are at an angle that isn't straight with the frame and body of the vehicle, and is at an angle that properly compliments the steering angle of the front wheels a quick comparison with the lines of the body versus the angle of of the rear wheels to showcase the difference for reference, a quick photoshop to align the rear wheels properly with the bodywork and then illustrations to highlight the alignment in the photoshopped version.
