This is my best assumption as well. These 3 polishes off the list of the most active trucks not in the game that are on US roads that I see. The 4900 also fits in but we won't get both the 5700 and the 4900 in the same year more than likely. Which will be first.....no telling. It would kinda of be cool if its was the VNL. The old one is old quality from ATS's first trucks. We at least have a WS and an International with better quality. Not to mention the old VNL is old school now.
I still hate we didn't get the older Cascadia to be on par with the old VNL as the last non CAD referenced truck. I seriously wonder, who denied it. Was it FL/Daimler scratching what SCS had because they didn't like it? At the time SCS got the new Cascadia license, the old Cascadia was still in production. This was 2018. The old Cascadia wasn't removed from FL's website until early 2020 if I recall. If not it was early 2019. Either way, it was still in production. Or did SCS just scratch the thought since they got the new Cascadia? Nothing still has been said nor will it be said about older trucks or out of production trucks not possible in ATS. Its hard to believe when SnowRunner and Mudrunner has older licensed trucks in the game but SCS can't. Manufacturers can only say yes or no. But if SCS doesn't want to do it, they are not going to go after it. Has SCS even tried to get the old Cascadia in since 2016? We have no idea. We just assume they tried. They never kept it updated like they did for the old VNL. Why only it, no idea. Honestly, I lean more to SCS just moving on from the Old Cascadia. Its still a very relevant truck so it should have came before it went out of production. My thinking, they saw the reaction to the old VNL by the community and didn't want the same backlash for it not having the quality as CAD referenced trucks. People ripped the old VNL pretty good. So thanks to the community, could be why SCS did not pursue it. What they had could have been updated and released just like the old VNL imho.
