Next ATS truck speculation

[flight50]

Unless it's a big surprise and that is what they could have probably meant by saying a "busy" month.

This is a valid point actually. We are now at the halfway mark of the month. We'll see. International and Daimler has been running point in ATS lately. Where is Volvo Group and Paccar? That is 4 brands holding out on us.

It's an LT IMO and that grill design just screams Electric Truck to me.

as I said before, the MV facelift got the new grill design and just the eMV, that grill is the new face of International, they moved away from Chrome ( I heared this in a Youtube video, I think it's from the fast lane media group). That grill design firt appeared in the Navistar Catalyst concept some years ago.

At least we got the Anthem, which in my opinion is one of the best OTR class 8 trucks currently in production. To complete the whole fleet, we only need the NG 579, NG T680 and the New VNL (Everything else that comes, is a sweet bonus in my eyes)... I would say the Pinnacle as well but that is not as common as it's dedicated OTR brother.

My tier list would be:

S - 579 and T680 New Gen, VNL and Anthem
A - 57X and 49X
B - Cascadia, LT, LoneStar

OK people, the group TRATON SE, which Navistar is part of, has a plan to introduce the new 13-litre engine to all the manufacturers. This introduction began with Scania, and Navistar/International is next. That's it. The LT is getting a new engine, a new grill, headlights, and maybe a revamped interior. There's no room for speculation. None.

I know this is probably just me but I like the LT the most of all the aero trucks in ATS. So I am looking forward to this "facelift" version.

Personally I don't want to see any electric trucks before all the trucks that exist which came before (including some classic and cabovers as well) are in game. It would not only annoy significant proportion of the players/fanbase, but it would ruin the reputation of SCS as well and possibly their relationship with manufactures (especially those that doesn't have in production electric trucks yet). But I maybe wrong. Still IMHO I want other relevant trucks and classics before electrics. I wouldn't mind them in game, but I want to see rest of the trucks from list here first, as well as some of most desired classic (including cabovers).

And btw, that Tesla truck is ugly duckling which I would avoid as much as possible. I mean just look at the picture below. It looks like an abomination to me.

why should id ruin SCS reputation ? by that logic it already would be ruined because Western Star and International are the top 2 brands right now that have the most trucks from the actual lineup in them

I think what he meant was that SCS would give off the image they're entering and supporting the EV trend that has boomed over the last couple of years... Which tbh, most people wouldn't care but here we are discussing it.

But I have to agree to a certain degree, where some models should come before any of these electric plastic toys come to game.

If it is to receive electric trucks, at least I prefer to receive from current manufacturers, like eCascadia for example.

[flight50]

The eCascadia would be the first truck I'd expect in ATS. At least it still resembles a current truck in styling and not a futuristic truck like some others. We aren't ready for the Jetson era of trucking yet.
