Those would be nice but considering they are the latest and greatest trucks on the market, they can wait if need be. The 49x was in a unique situation. Considering they didn't debut in ATS, they can wait imho. They will be around for awhile. We need the trucks that are in danger of going out of production first. We missed out on the old cascadia, the 9900i, the Columbia, the Century, Freightliner XL, Mack Titan and Coronado 132. That is 6 trucks that went out of production since ATS released. We have several new models that have come since ATS released. Those will eventually phase out too and new models replace them as well. Either get it now, or potentially lose it forever. Its unknown currently if or when SCS will insert older trucks into the game.

I’d rather like to see the present models first than to see the models that went out of production, like old Cascadia for example. I’m desperate to see atleast one of the three main OTR trucks (VNL, LT, 5700XE) added this year. Peterbilt and Kenworth would be just bonuses like the 49X, if added.

The new VNL and LT..........man I seriously hope at least one of them are on the 2021 menu to top off ATS. Then yes, the rest are bonuses. ATS finally has good variety in the game now and I was able to ditch JazzyCat's truck traffic mod awhile back. I do miss seeing the COE, WS 4900 and the Coronado 132 in traffic though. More trucks, more fun. I want to see more trucks in traffic than what I have interest in driving though.

The VNL and the 5700 would have to be the favorites to come sooner than later. AT the same time, the LT is sitting there half done already due to the Lonestar. I wouldn't doubt seeing all 3 trucks this year. Last year I said we could see 3-4 trucks and we did indeed get 3. One more repeat year like 2020 and ATS will really be sitting pretty with trucks. Enough pretty for me to go to one truck a year and get some licensed trailers, tuning and tire packs in.

I believe that for sure the next truck for ATS must already be in a very advanced stage of development. Possibly only licensing issues must be being discussed. The Peterbilt New 579 and Kenworth T680 Next Gen possibly be the next trucks after this next truck, in main, I believe that first the Peterbilt New 579, because of Texas. I believe there would be no better time to bring the New 579, together with the state where it is the headquarters of the manufacturer.

I too look forward to the possibility of getting three trucks this year, hopefully in the same timeframes as last year (maybe May/June for the first truck). If that happens, Peterbilt will definitely be the first truck of 2022.

I could definitely see the new Peterbilt and Kenworth coming to ATS sooner rather than later, simply because they are new trucks, and their brands want to promote them.

Of course it’s wishful thinking, but I wonder if SCS would add both at the same time if they are to come?

I rather see the new vnl and LT before the new peterbilt and kenworth. Or better, T880 or peterbilt 567 because they have out for awhile and I hope its soon before they end production to some of these. (this is what I'm afraid of.)

I'd love to have the T880, 567. But I'd throw the 122SD in that batch too. Some will call for the VNX too for that group. There are just sooo many North American models both in production and out of production that could come to ATS. I'd honestly say that there are enough models to bring a truck or two yearly. But that is one heck of a load on the vehicle team. They need more help to keep up with the demand for both games.

@Enjoyingorc6742, any chance you can update the poll to include the Kenworth T680 Next Gen and Peterbilt New 579?
