Western Star Trucks Discussion Thread

Yeah all the brands be specd with Flowbelow, but few of them mention it in their website. They never did it for 5700XE.

I still can't like the looks of the 5700, it looks so weird to me.

It's a nice truck, but I'd rather have the 57X. It's the best of both worlds—the road presence like the 5700XE and the efficiency of the Cascadia.

I'm just ready for the 5700 to be in traffic. That and the new VNL will finish off the current most common trucks on North American roads. Everything else would be a bonus. The old Cascadia is a different story but as far as what is in game now and what we know for sure is coming, the VNL and 5700 in traffic would polish up the game. Then its about the rebuilds and the NG Paccar trucks.

I will say that I am really happy for the level of cooperation Western Star has had with SCS and their fans. Kudos for the working relationship.

My favorite WS is the 5700XE at the moment (~60K miles atm), followed by the 49X and the 57X. Those and the 9900i are atm the trucks I use mainly. All medium chassis (49X SBA) except the 57X of course.

And yes, it would be nice to have the 5700 in traffic and much more the sleeper versions of the 49X.

All medium chassis (49X SBA) except the 57X of course.

Which chassis is the recommended one for the 57X?

[Holzauge]

Might be a misunderstanding, but I wrote this, because the 57X in game hasn't a medium chassis yet.

What do you mean by "recommended"? I prefer medium chassis for most trucks in ATS, but that's a personal preference, not a recommendation...

[JaDaKa]

Hehe ok!

[harishw8r]

The website still shows a 60-inch sleeper cab for the 57X..

And? The 48-inch is the one that was discontinued.
