Update Speculation thread

Pretty much. Both are unibody SUVs based on a medium duty truck with a bench seat thrown in the back. And the names... "Bronco" is a horse from the weatern US, and "Charro" is a Mecican cowboy.

As for his comment about the tailgate. Never seen a K5 Blazer with carpeted tailgate, I've seen some Broncos with and some without, no idea about the Ramchargers.

I'm interested to see what they do to combat the UI issues with the D-Series once this is released. I hate to see anything unfairly shorted on content, but what other options are there to keep the current vehicle selector reasonable, being that there's no sign of any UI updates...

As for probable trims, assuming they either find a way to have a lot of configs or just bite the bullet with the config spam...

I assume the factory configs will mirror the current Roamer selection up to the XT 4WD, being that it is currently the only other Gavril SUV in game. Base model with an i6, mid trim with the 4.5, XT trim with the 5.5. There is precedent for the diesel, but I can't really imagine that as a factory option. There's also precedent for a big block, but the D-Series doesn't have one currently for whatever reason... Hopefully that will be fixed soon...

As for special factory trims... Both the Roamer and Charro could see some luxury trim like the Chief Ranger. Almost all of the Gavrils have an RS now (petition for RS T & H Series here) so it would be weird to not see one on the Charro.

As for a pop-culture reference... I don't think we need any OJ-mobile controversies...

As for non-factory: It's a safe bet we will get an off road truck with a lift kit and big tires, hopefully similar style to the "D25 lifted" config since I love that 1980's off road truck aestetic. It looks like the Park Ranger will be converted to a Charro, and a standard police/sherrif truck is also a possibility. As crazy as it sounds, I have seen some drag trucks made from Bronco's of this era, and they did give the chassis mates drag configs, so that's possible too... I'll leave this with an image of one because I'm still surprised that they exist...

 

So basically the Gavril Roamer is the BeamNG universe equivalent to the Tahoe/Suburban lines. I wonder if we will ever see a late 90's Early 2000's D series at one point.

 

Ok hang on, where is everyone getting all this info from. There’s no DevBlog post unless I am literally blind.

 

Maybe they have looked in the model files of the cars, you can find pretty interesting stuff there

D10 sounds cool but unfit as the Bronco wasn’t part of the F-Series. The D10 would more so fit on an older D-Series(if they were to go that route). But hey it’s fiction here so who the hell cares. It’s badass and it hypes everyone up. I’m just happy we’re getting a Bronco/Blazer styled body.

 

The body has been in the game since 0.18, but it wasn't finished and thus didn't receive any parts/configs besides the body itself.

 

It’s been in the game and I never noticed? I thought they never finished the body.

 

It was unfinished, but the body is available if you select the short frame for the D series. The next update will likely complete it.

 

It looks like the Roamer XL has this kind of trunk:

 

I wish in the next update I could add the spare tire at the back of it.

 

I wonder If a 2 door Roamer is planned?

Where did you get the third screenshot from?

IMO, Roamer needs a more sculpted nose...

 

Well, yours is more of a LWB to their extended. It looks like the additional length is is different places on either, though a bit difficult for me to tell at that angle.

 

The showreel video on beamngs youtube channel.

 

Yeah, never really liked the front end.

 

How the LXT version could look like from the rear. I included a few personal touches, including a new Roamer logo, inspired by the early Explorer one.

 

LOL

 

I've just noticed a thing:

A white pickup truck in the background with a new front fascia, more similar to a Ford Bronco


Finally!
