I honestly believe that the bulk of the model/texture work is already completely finished. Same goes for the modern truck we were shown sometime back. The devs have a history of making us think that something isn't finished when it actually is.
Also, even though not offical content, the SSRB map was supposed to be updated after someting to do with 0.26 or 0.27 (as it's a Dev made map), but what feature it was awaiting is unknown
Expectations management, if something goes wrong and they can't ship the finished product the public will just assume it wasn't finished, which happened a few times before
Kind of what happened with tire thermals, was confirmed by Tdev for 0.26, and then never heard of again
The caption says "fired up" though, with a fire emoji too, wouldn't be the first time they hint at the car (or truck) in the caption
If this is a big European van from the 60s/70s/early 80s (like a Mercedes-Benz T2 or an early model of a Volkswagen LT, for example), I think we can speculate about a slow and gutless (but, somehow, still awesome) naturally aspirated diesel engine.
I am wayy more excited to see more of the new fire truck than the trophy truck, heck even the etk remaster (although the etk k is one of my favourite cars). It’s just something completely new to the game with such vast possibilities!!
--- Post updated --- Yeah, the trophy truck didn´t interest me personally in the slightest. The unexpected euro truck certainly lifted up my spirits for next one or two updates when it gets released!
Every time I ready messages in this chat I learn sth new, I had no idea Mercedes had produced a 5 cylinder Diesel engine
Yeah, the trophy truck didn´t interest me *Laughs in OM 617* Yes certainly we will see these if we are right about the speculation of this beautiful truck!
