I would be fine with any change in the 5700 but the front.
But I really don’t get the point of having two different OTR models with the same powertrain and sleeper.

Well,the 49X and the Cascadia have the same sleepers...and almost the same powertrain.Unless you don't consider the 49X as a capable on the road truck.

Of course I don’t consider the 49X as an OTR truck. Though it’s capable of being one, it doesn’t have a lot of aerodynamic features like sideskirts, as compared to other OTR trucks. I would place it on par with the Lonestar.

The 5700 has an iconic look. If that front end changed, that screws up the entire identity of that truck. But the point of having two OTR models, if just like all the other trucks.........options. Technically the 4900 is considered vocational and highway. The 5700 is highway only. https://www.westernstartrucks.com/

But yeah, you give people options because different appeal happens across the board. Prime example, you can get the Cummins X15/ISX with Eaton 13/15/ or Allison in almost all NA trucks. That combo can go into every truck on the road. One person may love the 389, another the W900. While this fleet over here rather have a new 579 with that same setup.

I'd love to see the 4900 in the game, it looks more like the '88 WS I used to own. ;)

Also would rather the 4900 instead the 5700. In my opinion the 5700 look sucks tbh.

I'd take either, but would prefer the 4900 as well.
