Gavril D15

Yeah, that proves my point. They're set back. Also, I know what a '79 Dodge looks like. Adventurer is just the trim level, y'know.

 

Well I’m stupid and that was what Google image search spat out, also now I want a “lil red express” inspired d-series performance edition.

 

I'm a bit confused here so maybe someone can clear it up for me. The 6.0 diesel's stage 1 turbo is more expensive than the OEM late turbo but makes less power, so what exactly is the point of the stage 1 turbo?

 

Honestly the most likely answer to this is that its an oversight.

 

Or an older turbo, able to only tune the engine without any engine block upgrades.

 

So the pickup's race brakes offer less stopping power than the off-road brakes, don't know if that is intended or not. I can't even trigger ABS with 305/35R20 race tires.

The 2 OEM turbos also run on stock block.

 

Does the old d series interior have pbr textures?

 

I do not think it does.

 

OK here me out we NEED a new d series for 0.36 the headlights are so old now and they could add more modern years alongside because of today and you could add electric d series but please (I hate electric vehicles) Don't make it look like a cyber truck if you must make it like the Chevy silverado ev

 

Feel like this could have gone in the "What do you want for [version]?" threads rather than here

 

Not really sure where to put this but it seems the new light effects broke the basic model lights on the D-series.

 

I have some issues with the diesel 6-speed automatic transmission's shifting logic, it doesn't want to upshift at low throttle, it's lowShiftDownRPM and lowShiftUpRPM are much higher than the gas 6-speed transmission which I think should be the other way around. It prefers to keep the rev above 2000. The gas 6-speed will let me cruise at around 1500 RPM.

 

I noticed some oddities with the configurations, that might be misakes. Most of them are typos and wrong config parts (easy to fix).
1. The D15 Off-Road and D10 Zeta have early front fascia but are listed as 1992 models. Though, they're custom built, so they can be front end swapped, so might be actually ok.
2. The D15 Drag have mismatched wheels, with 15x8 Powr-Push at the front and 15x14 Dragger at the rear. But 15x8 Dragger are actually available in-game.
3. The D10 Charro 423 Sport description is "Short Wheelbase SUV variant of the 423 Sport", with a capital in the W
4. The D15 Crawler Crew Cab info says it is naturally aspirated and gasoline powered (Fuel Type/Induction), but it is a turbo-Diesel
5. Both D15 Pre-Runners have wrong model years. The regular cab has a late front fascia and a late dashboard and therefore should be a 1998 model, not a 1992 one. The extended cab variant has early fascia but is listed as a 1992 model.
6. The D15 Rock Racer has an intermediate front fascia, and is listed as a 1992 model, which is ok. But it has a late 1998 dashboard.
7. The "D25 Fleet Long Bed" from 1998 is the only model missing the "V8" in its name.
8. Also, the same late D25 Fleet does not have ABS, but have ESC. All 1998 models have ABS.
9. The "D35 4WD Long Bed V8" should be named "D35 V8 4WD Long Bed" to be coherent with every other model.
10. The late D35 V8 Crew Cab Dually has a 4-speed automatic transmission, but the cheaper lower trim late D35 Fleet has a 6-speed.
11. The early D35 Chief Rancher does not have ABS, but it is supposed to be the top-of-the-line, and some 1986 models do have ABS.
12. The D35 Diesel V8 Extended Cab is the only pickup with mismatched tires, having 245/75R16 att he front and 265/75R16 at the rear. All other D35 duallies have three pairs of 245/75R16, while four-wheel D35 have two pairs of 265/75R16.

 

They have early front fascias, but different headlights and front indicators. That's what makes them '92 models.

I think this is intentional - not only is it not unheard of for drag configurations to have mismatched wheels (the Bastion Drag has 22x9.5 UTR Voltaires at the front, and 18x12 Alder Vulcans at the back; the Covet Drag has 13x7 TIMS Kodairas on the front, but 13x5 TIMS Egotas on the rear (despite there being 13x7 TIMS Egotas)), but the Roamer Drag also uses the same wheel types and sizes.

Not only that, but it also has much different power figures from what are listed in the performance data (it actually has 295 PS and 828 Nm of torque, not 318 PS and 555 Nm, like the D35 SuperPig).

Huh. I don't think I've ever noticed that before, but you're right. This might be intentional, as well. Certain other 1998 D-Series trims (like the D15 4WD Extended Cab and D15 4WD Crew Cab Short Bed) do not have "V8" in their trim name, despite having them. Although other 1998 D-Series trims (like the D25 V8 4WD Extended Cab Long Bed) still have V8 in their names, so I'm not sure.

The D35 4WD Extended Cab Long Bed V8, as well.

This transmission inconsistency isn't exclusive to the D-Series - the H35 XT Passenger (2005) has a 4-speed auto, while the H25 Passenger Long Wheelbase (2005) and H35 LXT Passenger (1993) have 6-speed autos.

I genuinely would probably have never noticed that. That's good to know.

 

And some more:
13. The 1992 "D15 Fleet Extended Cab" has a fuel-injected intake (so 1992), but early 1986 body panels (front fascia and bumpers)
14. The 1986 D45 Cargo Box and 1992 D45 Rollback have front standard disc brakes, but all D35 and both the D45 ambulances have heavy-duty discs at the front
15. The late D45 Off-Road Ambulance is a late 1998 model but with the "stock" 1992 turbocharger instead of the late turbo

 

I believe this is intentional (the 1986 fascia probably was cheaper to make than the 1992 fascia, which is important for fleet buyers), and it's not unheard of IRL for older vehicles to be kept in production after new vehicles have been launched. The third-gen Chevrolet C/K was produced until 1991, despite the fourth-gen releasing in 1988.

That (and Issue #15) probably isn't intentional, though.

 

Sorry to interject here, but I just had a thought. There are hundreds of parts and tons of configurations for just this one vehicle, and that got me thinking about how long the lifespan of the D-Series will last before it's time to create a new pickup truck to "spice things up" and to not have an overwhelming amount of configs and parts. I never really pictured myself saying this about the D-Series because I love it dearly, but here I am.

 

A modern pickup truck is one of the most common requests for the game, although I feel like it might take a fair while for one of those to show up (if the devs do end up making a modern truck at all - the D-Series is probably enough maintenance headache for them, and that work at least is spread among several other vehicles).
