In one of the pictures of today blog about Texas, you can see a heavy wrecker truck.

I remeber time ago saw the coment of someone in the forum that said that SCS had already scaned some real life wreckers and the models will come to the game eventually (I can remember where i saw that).

So, What do you think?Will this model be only an AI model, or will be an option for the trucks that already have 8x6 or 8x4 chasis(drivable and with specific jobs)?

Doubt it. My guess it will be an ai traffic model seeing as the trucks in game can't show physical damage due to licensing.

It looks like a W900.

but trucks can have other problems that requiere the truck to be towed, problems without having cosmetic damage, like engine malfuction, or trailer malfuncition, the loads for a hypothetical wrecker doesn't need to have cosmetic damage.

If my memory doesn't fail me, They have a truck with smoke exiting from hood that is used for ramdon events, trailers with various amounts of cosmetic damage, and even a genery old wrecked truck.
So if that is a problem they can make generic trucks for loads with some kind of cosmetic damage.

That one is also not being driven in this photo, at least. It's 100% AI mainly because there isn't a license plate on it. If it was being used by a player it would have the plate of whatever state the garage it's attached to is in.

Vehicles don't need to show any physical damage in order to be towed. Anyways that looks like a AI vehicle, we probably wont be able to drive it but at least we can see heavy wreckers on the road even if its just AI.
