Place your truck suggestions here! Placing them here DOES NOT mean they will be created. It just makes us aware of them.

I was thinking if we could get some more cabover trucks (flat nose)
there is only 3 of the 36 trucks in total that are cabovers

1994 Freightliner FLB

1989 Kenworth K100

1981 Peterbilt 352

There are no new cabovers only one's under $5000 i'm shure there is
alot of cabover fans on this game

Hi Guys,

I started work on this yesterday as, although I'm enjoying "driving" the Trucks in the game... I have to say that I've never even seen a single one of them on the roads anywhere within Europe.

Obviously I've heard of them but I feel its a little unrealistic driving all these conventional trucks over the European continent.

So I've come up with some suggestions I hope will be considered, I have included some information which I think is fair, and some pictures which I hope conform to the requirements for inclusion.
If not I'm more than happy to do some of the background work involved if they are to be considered for inclusion.

Trucks:

Now I know obviously none of those figures are "real" especially with the MPG, but I have tried to fit all those figures in with the other trucks in the game to keep things fair.

I think that the selection of trucks above would give a far more realistic approach to the European arena and certainly make it feel a little more homely. Especially If I could have my beloved Iveco Stralis included cool.gif

I hope they will be considered, and if there is anything at all I can do to help that then you have only to ask!

All the best,

I would like to see you be able to change the color of your truck!!

more trucks would certainly be welcome :explosion: ...and I agree there are little to none european trucks; just some of the Volvo ones

Definately need to have an 2008 International. Just not that many Internationals in this game.

Not sure where you are from mate but all those Volvo's in the game aren't available for sale in Europe at all!

Volvo don't actually sell a "conventional" cab design within Europe. The only people who did are Scania with their "T-Cab" (as we call them) and they stopped making that last year.

Its also not the best looking truck around!

Im shamelessly bumping this guys stuff as I think hes taken the time to do allot of the leg work for the game makers. Plus even though I dislike EU trucks for their looks the EU drivers deserve to have EU based trucks!!!! Cmon oversurge!!! =P

I think instead of focusing on more American trucks now, they should focus on adding Europeon trucks to the game to make the Euro side more realistic...

Great job Scarab putting together the list of trucks for Europe. There should be Euro trucks in Europe. As for North America I'd like to see a Volvo 730 for all the flatbedders out there and maybe a new pete 387. There really should be some kind of Peterbilt on that last page.

I would like to see a peterbilt 386 added to the game as there is currently not one offered and it would be a good compromise between a full on aerodynamic truck (387) and the more traditionally styled trucks (379/389 etc). http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc_386.asp

As a driver who works for a LTL freight carrier id like to see more day cabs. 1 Mack on the last page is all there is offered in game currently and I had to buy a sleeper cab cause I couldn't afford the breakdowns on my International!

ROFLMAO

just like real life ROFLMAO

Ever wonder why the pumpkin patch doesn't run binders anymore.

Allready PM to admin.

Volvo F12 1990
Volvo F16 1991

:rolleyes:

I lived in Europe(Romania) most of my life...I remember Volvo trucks but honestly I don't remember the models...But looking over the lot again I don't see any flat nose Volvo trucks so yea you have a good point...I did see some Kenworth and International trucks back home though(one would be the 1997 Kenworth W900)...they use them to haul huge parts and equipment for construction and drill sites...I live in the US now so I guess I got used to the trucks here more :)


it would be nice if they built 2 separate truck markets...one for each continent

Thanks for the bump mate, preeshyadeit

Yes I did do as much of the leg work as I could as it just seems to make the most sense, its a bit disappointing reading this thread and seeing people just say "Id like the International XYZ"

The developers give us a good game to play, free of charge if you can't/wont donate, if you want something more then do a bit of work. That list there took me probably 7 or 8 minutes to put together, hardly any work at all, and lets be honest, we've all got 10 mins to kill at some point haven't we, especially if you get a mechanical failure in game and loose a FP repairing.

next time you have to wait an hour for your FP to go down why not just grab some pics off the net, resize them to the proper size and stick some stats down like I did.

I'm hoping that the Developers take some of my options because I tried to help them out rather than putting more work on their plate.

Keep the suggestions coming though guys! especially from Europeans! one day I dream of looking at the Trukz truck lot and seeing a vehicle I've heard of :D

Scarab

Yeah no worries man. Id love for you EU drivers to have the proper trucks to drive on that continent. Seems only fair as we get the correct trucks to drive in the NA.

I think we should be able to individualize the avatars.... I think the game would be alot more fun if it was more about customizing the trucks.. I think making money will just get old after awhile if the only thing you can do is buy the same truck everyone else has... I dunno

I STILL LIKE THE GAME, but I'm a gear head, I want my truck to be different, maybe having a paint job option where you could have different versions of the same truck, be it color schemes & graffix, tu-tone & murals, neon, etc.....

Yeah it'd definitely be cool to be able to customize your truck, although I have to wonder if that'd be going beyond the scope of this game.

i'd like to see some more macks on the game and a few pete 359's also and a kw w900a

i think there needs to be a 1995 or 96 truck and a 02 or 03 that way it will help the drivers from :explosion:

I think this thing (just unveiled today at the Chicago Auto Show) would be a pretty interesting addition...
http://www.internationaltrucks.com/LoneStar/

though those Euro trucks are cool too...

Now theres and idea... more Pete's'. At least a brand new one on the last page. Ya know a really nice day cab or a new flat top.

We need new Pete's' :psycho:

I think at a minimum, we need a few trucks to fill the gap between the $30k Volvo and the $45k Volvo.
$15k is a big jump... when there are trucks above and below those two that are only $2-4k apart in cost.

Here are a few I found with a quick search...

2001 Kenworth W900:


2002 Freightliner:


2003 Freightliner:


2003 Peterbilt 379:

now thats a nice truck!!! thats all i gotta say!!!!

Freightliner Argosy, the last of the Class 8 cab overs.

I see this has already been posted.......but if I knew this was going to be added, I would wait to buy my next truck....

http://www.internationaltrucks.com/LoneStar/

i like the idea of the lonestar aand the 2000 to 2003 trucks also good idea's guy's

They should have the 2008 VOLVO VNL64T 670 and also have a 2008 Freightliner CL120

and a 2005 MACK CX613

C'mon guys! why just list the name of the truck? If you want it in the game give the admins a little bit of a help! doesn't take 2 minutes really does it?

only one, my beloved International 4070
top speed:50 mph
price: 5,000
mpg: 7

ther could be a few more trucks from 18,000 to 30,000 there isnt many

how bout a pete 386

i think you should have more english trucks because they have a much better fuel econamy will post some on later!




driver name: jordan ellis

I agree! Maybe an '09? :-)

i also like the idea of the euro trucks it would be more real for the european truckers

If anyone wants Euro trucks just check the post I made way up the top of this topic.

I didn't post the real fuel economies with them as it would be unfair if they suddenly dumped in a load of trucks with 10mpg+

I don't think there's many companies, apart from unusual load hauliers, that would buy a truck that couldn't get 9mpg these days.

Scarab

hears some trucks i sayed i would put on (Try to not look at the tralier):
