Next ATS truck speculation

[flight50]

I hope SCS don't remove the old models. If SCS has a licensed for it, they should be able to use it anywhere on the map. They paid to have that truck in the game so use it. I'd love to have different truck gens in AI traffic. We don't get that currently and its unrealistic. If the old Cascadia comes, the new VNL comes along with the new T680 and new 579, then that is 4 trucks right there.

Add the W990 and we somewhat get one there too.

Isn't that looking unique enough to you ?

I never liked that model too much(excess of chrome for my taste), I would like it more if that model didn't has chrome, sand-blasted finish would be much nicer or gloss black. I prefer the aerotrucks with the less amount of chrome posible, they look more efficient and badass.(The crome for the classics and for some with square and flat hoods )

The Mack look more tougher and retro and is the one that in my opinion is a bit diferent to the other brands equivalents.

But don't take me wrong i would like the 5700 in game too, but... Pinnacle first

Both look good, but for me, the Pinnacle wins hands down.

I have to agree, the Mack Pinnacle looks great and although I don't think we are getting it quite soon, I really hope it will appear in-game in the coming years.
Both this and the Kenworth W990 are in my opinion great modern interpretations of classic trucks.

We all have our preferences. Give me that 5700 in gray all day. A much sexier truck to me. The Mack does nothing for me honestly.

Same here, I love the Anthem more than the pinnacle so it’s less likely that I would use it for my freight/cargo market. The Western Star 5700 isn’t my type too (more chrome-only options) but it’s the only OTR model from Western Star, so I need it badly.

My vote goes to the Volvo VNL, Peterbilt 579 (Next-Gen) and Kenworth T680 (Next-Gen.) This is more or less wishful thinking based on the relationship between SCS and the companies. As we are aware, there is tentatively a Volvo Construction Equipment DLC in the works and potentially nearing completion. While Volvo CE and Volvo Trucks are two different subsidiaries of AB Volvo, they are still owned by the same parent company so it isn't impossible for SCS to have arranged something with them. But, as I said, this is some wishful thinking based around what we know about the current situation, which is the fact that Volvo CE seemingly signed off on a licensed cargo pack. As for the Peterbilt and Kenworth, this is only based on the fact SCS and Paccar seemingly have a decent relationship considering they allowed for the 579 and T680 to be the first trucks in American Truck Simulator and with how DAF was pretty excited to launch their newest truck virtually. But, it is in the same situation as Volvo, where DAF, Peterbilt and Kenworth are all different divisions of Paccar. Considering how out of left field the release of the International LT was and how it is believed that Western Star might've had something being worked on prior to the 49X, if I was able to vote for a fourth truck, I'd say it could either be the 4900 or 5700. To me, both are equally likely as we are overdue for a more classic style truck and it seems a somewhat general consensus here on the forums is that the 5700 is the flagship model for Western Star.

I'm not hating on the 5700XE or anything, I would drive it ... but I just dont get why everyone is wanting it so bad? we just got the 49X awhile back ... if anything I'd rather have a classic hooded Star car like the 4900EX or even a 4900FA, but that's just my $.02

I see that the vote has been reset, and I must admit that I did not know Mack Pinacle but it is a very nice truck and I would like to see it in ATS, I think that Freightliner Cascadia 2007-2017 is impossible to get the trucks I would like to see in ATS with these options are, Mack Pinacle, Peterbilt 579 (new generation) Kenworth T680 (new generation) Volvo VNL (latest generation) Freightliner Coronado (122SD / 132SD) and Western Star 5700 XE

Honestly, the 5700 is hideous to my eyes and will be the only truck I'll try via quickjob. The Pinnacle has grown on me quite a bit.

Only reason I voted for it was so the people that badly wants the 5700 in game.
