To miss out on the 4900 and the chance to put it in-game would be disappointing to me because its a really nice rig and it would pair well with some of the other "classic-styled" trucks in-game

To miss out on any truck would be disappointing. Especially those that have been out for quite some time. Main reason why fast tracking some trucks isn't that bad of an idea. Get them in the game sooner than later and polish them up later isn't too bad. I'm sure the ones building trucks are getting a lot of good experience with CAD reference models. I'm sure they get a tad faster with each truck. No two trucks will take the same amount of time. Just like maps, you get better and faster over time. Things that can be factored in.

IMHO next truck will be most likely the new vnl or any of the two western stars 5700xe or 4900

The time maybe before Wyoming around June July I think, maybe this month who knows but indications dont say that 1.41 will bring new trucks

Well we don't know if they are working on one because since all 7 brands are in the game, we won't get another unmarked dealer anymore so any truck could come when time permits
Take it with a grain of salt nothing is 100% sure

1.41 can bring new truck(s),with a subversion of 1.41.
As for the LT and new VNL being common on the roads...that would depend of each person location.LT isn't rare in my case,but not super common either.For the new Volvo,the most i've seen is the VNR.

1.41 isn't here yet so we have no idea what can come. We have no teasers of a truck true but that could happen any day. Everything has a day and time. Carthoo isn't here anymore to tease stuff so things can come out the blue........kinda. We do have Steamdb that we can see though for dlc's. Trucks in ATS are dlc's just like maps and add ons. Currently there is an unknown dlc on Steam that could be anything. If its on steamdb, its on there for a reason and in due time, it will be revealed.

I totally agree. It happened with the 49X, it can still happen with other trucks. In a non-pandemic situation, the 49X would have been released a bit earlier (they were teasing the truck for months) and we would have still gotten the truck somewhere around September.

It’s a good idea to make this a thing for the 579 or T680 or any other real future trucks.

Been looking at the International HX in more detail and in prime mover configuration it runs the same cabs as the LT and Lonestar. With that being said that does seriously push the HX into contendership as the next International imo. Plus when looking at the 49X being more HH/off road orientated compared to OTR it does open up new options for vehicles like the HX to be included in the game sooner then we think.

Personally I rather they toned down the amount of trucks they make, to me there is no need to pump out 3 models a year still, once the new VNL is added all most common models in NA are accounted for. Yeah I know models like the LT are fairly popular but not like the Cascadia's and VNL's from what I have read. If I'm wrong about that then I apologise but I'm at the stage the vehicle team could be focusing more other related aspects such as cargo and trailers from the remaining regular types to more specialised types for extra variety. Plus you also have to factor in trying to start to the push for rigid/straight truck models as well. That will again open up a whole lot of new options to play with it in general for the games.

From my point of view next is either Western Star or Volvo. One WS truck must have been worked on, when the 49X interfered. So that could be the one. A Volvo was the first truck after the Paccar trucks. So maybe now it will be first again to add a second one?

Personally I would like to see a second Mack (Pinnacle) or an International (LT) (The International hopefully with a better sound... ;))...

@howey I've been thinking the same...kinda. Except for me, get the new VNL and the LT in...then slow things down truck wise to more like (1) truck a year. I'd love to see industry cargo packs and licensed trailers. There is a solid half dozen from each that could be create. That's 12 dlc's SCS is sitting on. We could get another HH and another ST to bring part II of those. That make 14 dlc's. Then we have tuning, tire and light kit. Now we are pushing 20 something dlc's that is waiting for creating. Trucks are free but dlc's and new game purchases is what keeps the lights on. So yeahhh, there is more they can focus on out side of trucks. We also need a lot more AI cars too. Especially if they ever revamp the car industry and give us new car haulers.

I think another year of 2-3 trucks would do it. Notice the dash in that though. I'm saying 2-3 as in that what we could get and not what we will get. Even if we just got 1, that is one more that we didn't have previously. With the Pinnacle and the LT/HX being major shortcuts, they have to be in the mix with truck plans. Of course we need approvals and then jump into the que. One more truck and ATS would finally have double digit truck models. I'm really hoping to see a minimum of 2 models per brand though. Get to a 14 and ATS will sit even prettier.
