    I'm not making a wide spaced twin-steer variant though I might look into moving the rear lift axle forwards to achieve a similar result.

    Future plans? There isn't any set plans/roadmap for the future of the mod and there never really was. This has always been a side-project of mine when I have the time so I will always add what I fancy the most at the time whether that be my own ideas or a suggestion.

    As for ideas sure I have plenty of ideas noted down both for this mod and even for entirely different mods. Though the vast majority of these idea's are either left on the drawing board or abandoned during creation for any number of reasons. Because of this I've learned to avoid sharing potential ideas at all until they are nearly complete to avoid creating expectations that can't be fulfilled.

    If you want a better idea of what suggestions I will like then these guidelines will get you closer
    1. Something that has a functional impact rather than purely cosmetic.

    2. Something to fill a lacking role/archetype(Ex: Shunt Truck)

    3. Something that is feasible given my skills and time constraints

    4. Something that is mostly grounded in reality

    5. NOT replicating a specific vehicle model

    This would need larger engines for it to be not exclusively cosmetic but what about a wide hood?

    Good luck trying to fit the larger engines there. The vanilla V8 is a 18L engine and that just barely fits between the front wheel hubs.

    It’s technically allowed however you’d only be able to carry 2500 lbs without going over the limit, not to mention the weight probably doesn’t include an upfit body since that specific truck doesn’t have one. A pickup truck would be much more practical in this situation.

    Would a natural gas (CNG) powered truck be something you consider? If you could get permission from daddelzeit to use the natural gas engine from the Wentward expansion pack, and make the stack of tanks behind the cab.

    is a long upfit frame for the md-series a possibility allowing for some t-series upfits

    I've been with this doubt for a long time: when using the rear EV motors, is there a difference between Multi-Drive and Single-Drive?

    No. It's just not that interesting to have a copied engine with a slightly different power output and uses different fuel tanks.

    Looks like I forgot to copy the edited transfer-case model to the release. Will fix next update.

    Maybe in future but not anytime soon as that would be considerable undertaking

    The visible model is placed differently to match the different axle models for tandem drive vs single drive.

    I'll take another stab at getting it 100% working for next update.
