If this year’s American truck simulation is to add two models, I hope it will be Freightliner 122SD and Western Star 5700XE
Hopefully in the future America Truck Simulator will add these trucks: Freightliner 122SD/Century/Columbia/FLD/Cascadia/Coronado, Kenworth T800/T880/W990,Volvo VNX740, International HX520/ ProStar, and MACK Pinnacle, MACK Titan.

I’d say VNL instead of 122SD. If 25 years of Krone Cool Liner can happen, why not 25 years of VNL? :P

Good point. Its a good looking truck but that doesn't mean I want to drive it. I just want to travel with it on the roads. The 122SD would be one of the last trucks in from this poll if I had to guess. The 49x was unique and I think just because we got it, more people are expecting vocational when ATS is more about OTR. I'm not saying that ATS doesn't need or won't get more vocational, but the focus of the game is on the road. As I mentioned, I'd like for a classic, modern and hh from each brand. I'm sure someone will still twist my words though and say that I'm against vocational though.

Still not sure about LT. For some reason I'm expecting PACCAR trucks will appear first. There isn't any rule about each brand will have 2 trucks first. If I'm not mistaken in ETS2 Scania has 4 trucks while MAN has 1. Renault got it's first truck years later after the game launch. So everything could happen. I only can guarantee one thing. We'll lose more trucks because of manufacturers will stop producing trucks and SCS couldn't add it in time.

Ehhhhh, lol. I'm gonna put the 5700xe as the starter. I don't always eat dessert because I so full already. But then again there are sometimes when I start off a meal backwards and go dessert first. If the VNL came first, cool. If the 5700 came first, sweet. Both are wanted. I think the new 579 and new T680 will get in the game.......eventually. Considering neither came to ATS at their launch earlier this year even as a fast track truck, I'm not too concerned about getting them asap. They just released to the market so they are not going anywhere for years. We have the older ones in the game for now. They are less quality yes, I agree but we don't have anything for the LT, 5700 or 4900 yet. Even the VNL at least there is the older version there too. I think the newest models for VNL, 579 and T680 have their day and time for sure. But what order and when, I won't worry myself over them. But the LT and 5700, I'm hoping come sooner than later because we have nothing.

If the new VNL comes soon, that then puts pressure on SCS and Paccar to get the 579 and T680 out asap. If SCS can't get them, people will blame them. People will look at it like "well how come the VNL got a new truck but not the 579 and T680. They are day one quality too." So for me, bring the 5700 first then deal with the domino effect for the newer gens replacing the older ATS models. Even the 389 and W900 have 2021-2022 models that could come but again.....at least we have them in game currently.

There are five OTR models, it’s enough if they knock them off as soon as they can. They benefit the AI traffic as well, more than what vocational/classic models can do (lack of Old Cascadia is an immersion killer for sure).

Even for the Peterbilt and Kenworth, the sooner they are in game the better. Once production starts, they would flood the roads for sure. Bigger operators like Swift and Prime would buy them anyway, that’s enough to see them in big numbers and not having them would be a blow to the AI traffic as well.

Though this year seems to favour ETS2 a lot, I still hope we can get two trucks for ATS this year, hopefully the 5700XE and VNL.

Whatever the first truck is, I guess it would be teased immediately after Wyoming’s release, like it happened with the Cascadia. I hope that DLC remains hidden, seems like SCS is scared that we would find it in no time :lol:

My wish is to be able to drive Freightliner 122SD and Western Star 5700XE this year. Volvo VNL will be fine later in 2018. After all, this Volvo VNL has just been mass-produced for more than 2 years.
Hopefully in the future America Truck Simulator will add these trucks: Freightliner 122SD/Century/Columbia/FLD/Cascadia/Coronado, Kenworth T800/T880/W990,Volvo VNX740, International HX520/ ProStar, and MACK Pinnacle, MACK Titan.
