Update Speculation thread

Hmmm, so powered by the turbocharged ETK Inline-6s!

Tbh, if it's gonna be an ETK, the Turbocharged 3.0 I6s and the 4.4 Twin-Turbo V8 are begging for a heavier vehicle than the 800/K. And the 8-Speed Automatic/Diesel 8-Speed Automatic is gonna be the perfect combo for it, especially with the Heavy Duty Torque Converter. Not to mention the craziness of the Selecta SportPlus 2R Tires and the ttSport Carbon-Ceramic Brakes in such a vehicle!

Not to also mention that a ttSport Heritage Edition could also exist, with the same drivetrain as the respective K-Series: the 4.4 Twin-Turbo V8 coupled with the Sport 6-Speed Manual!

 

another thing to consider is the 4.4L Diesel I4 sounds that were found in the 0.39 files. we assumed it would be for the Percheron, but it's only got the one inline-6 engine available.
could this engine sound be intended for the mystery humvee thing?

Every version of the toyota megacruiser came with the 4.1L "15B" I4, which matches pretty closely.
Also from mercedes, the Unimog 405 is available with the "OM904" 4.2L I4 or "OM934" 5.1L I4, and the Unimog 418 used the "OM364" 4.0L I4.

the largest diesels the Mercedes G-class got were all 6- or 8- cylinders, the Grenadier's only diesel option is BMW's B57 3.0 I6.
If the new vehicle is european and G/Land Rover/Grenadier sized, i'd expect it to reuse the ETK 3.0 diesel if it was modern, or the 2.8L diesel out of the stambecco if it's from the '80s.
All humvees used Detroit Diesel/GM Duramax V8 engines, all over 6L in displacement, so that's ruled out as well. (I could see this reusing the 6.0 Diesel Gavril V8 if it's American.)

 

The front bull bar(?) going over the hood is a unique detail that’s only really common on hummers

 

I've actually been making military configs of the Percheron. I hope more first party offroad and heavy duty equipment is added in the future.

Why were people even thinking that? Trucks don't run inline 4s, especially not at such low displacement.

 

Why aren't the devs making new brands anymore? Does using a already existing one make sense lore-wise, or is it too risky? Because new brands mean more variety imo

 

I think they are trying to fill out existing brands roster first before going back to making new brands. Thats why theres been new Cherriers, and the hirochi heavy equipment, and all the new FPU stuff. Now the only brands left to fill out are mainly soliad and autobello. (Or bruckell)

 

Some do. A lot of Isuzu NPR variants run engines in the ballpark of that size. I am fairly certain they are also popular in buses.

 

Is it possible to resolve this issue in version 0.41? There is a setting called "Disable occupants in vehicles" (or similar)—I have it enabled (set to off/disabled)—but even when I enable traffic, the occupants still remain inside the vehicles. I actually made a video about this:

 

This has nothing to do with this thread, post this in bug reports.

 

Renault's contemporary medium duty trucks did use a 4.1L straight 4

 

Thanks for the heads-up.

 

Burnside feels the most in need of filling out. But I definitely agree thats what their doing, and I kind of prefer it.

 

Also Burnside, it only has the Special

 

I feel like the SUV might look like a Fiat Oltre with a Hummer front bumper.

 

Damn, you're unbanned? How've you been over the past few years?

 

On one hand I'd love more Burnside vehicles but on the other it apparently died sometime later in the century. I guess that leaves it open to more old-timey vehicles in the future.

 

guys hear me out

 

I'm also thinking land cruiser now that others have said it, IMO it's a toss between the G-wagon and land cruiser. The last 2 updates added european vehicles (Ardente, Percheron) so idk whether the devs want to continue the euro car lineup or take a break from euro cars and add something else like a japanese car. If it is a land cruiser-type vehicular device, I'd say it would be under Ibishu.

 

Not really. The Burnside brand can be seen on some of the banners at the start/finish line of the dirt track of the Johnson Valley map. So, most probably, it still is alive, it's just that a new Burnside vehicle is yet/remains to be seen.

 

I’m seeing both of those honestly. My thoughts right now are an ETK g-wagon type thing with a front fascia inspired by the Land Cruiser.

that’s my current thought of the canon lore. I think that burnside is still around, and we’re just yet to get another new burnside vehicle.
