Take a very hard look at already released vehicles.

Somewhat recently the Tatra trucks got some reworks to improve their woeful state, and now they are MUCH better to use. The Force no longer rubs it's nose in the dirt, and the Phoenix is now properly useful with it's own crane.
Many of the older trucks deserve a rework as well. Most notable the Voron D is a catastrophe in terms of weight balance. It's not only nose heavy. The center of mass is even off to one side of the vehicle. The scout 800 is a front engine truck, and yet for some reason has the majority of it's mass in the rear. Causing it to bounce and wobble around uncontrollably. There are so many vehicles which should have support for trailers, or addons, and they simply do not for some reason. This deserves attention.

All vehicles should be as flexible as reasonably possibly to encourage people to use them for as many different things as possible. Choice and variety is the flavor of this game and what makes it great. You can do the same contract 15 times. But if you use a different truck each time. The game can be replayed many times over without becoming stale.

Hey there, while we want to avoid a "power creep" situation, where all trucks end up being able to complete all content, we still want to make most vehicles shine in specific situations.

We'd love to hear the thoughts of the community on what vehicles you feel is in need of some tune-up!

I support this idea, It would be nice to see some changes to base game vehicles. People still love those trucks myself included.

Perhaps to not mess up with the difficulty of the base game, the new upgrades should be +25/30 lvl to unlock? Or lock those new upgrades in the new regions.

I'm not even sure the vehicles need new upgrades. Just... make them a little more flexible, or work a little better. In the same way they approached the Tatra vehicles. Just fix them so they work without any annoying quirks, or arbitrary limitations. The only things that come to mind when I think of upgrades is better engine for US old scouts, to add light bars to the Fleetstar/Paystar, and give the Paystar a slightly better engine. That's about it imo.

Fluorescent flowers? It's been years since I've seen them. You might still be able to find them in an area we called "Downhill".

The Fleetstar, Paystar, all of the Voron trucks, Cat CT 680, Step 310E, Royal BM17, and GMC MH9500 could definitely use a Tuned Custom suspension option as well. The only non-scout trucks that have it, that I remember, are the ANK MK38 and GMC Brigadier 8000.

Fully support as well, additionally I think we should look into the pitiful fuel range of some of them. Primarily anything with around 200L.

suspensions should have an option to tune in game, would save people hours editing xml

I second! Some oldies have some atrocious design flaws... For example the poor Transtar 4070A is unusable with any of its non-stock front bumpers because it's plowing dirt and taking random damage even on a smooth straight road. I also agree that the Voron D balance issues have to be looked at.

Trucks with abysmal fuel tanks could get purchasable fuel tank upgrades in the garage that we can buy the same way as we change drivetrains for example.

Like for example after reaching level 15 we could unlock extended fuel tanks or something like that.

More options for racks carrying extra fuel and parts on some old trucks that don't yet have them would be a welcome addition. They could also have a level based unlock.

Freightliner M916A1 could definetly use a buff, it's an amazing truck which I love to use, but you have to refuel it like every 20 minutes, which cripples it's usage seriously

All of the large 200L trucks need a look, for sure. Most of them burn excessive amounts of fuel, even compared to similar counterpart trucks, while having 50-100L less capacity.
IMO, consumption can be high. As long as there is capacity there to support it. There's nothing wrong with a truck being expensive to run. But if it doesn't run for at least 15 minutes without support from a fuel carrier. Then it just gets tedious to use that vehicle.

The intention of this topic was not to improve the performance of any vehicles, necessarily. But more so to enhance versatility. Or just general polish to vehicles which have been forgotten. There are a lot of shortcomings and some aspects of older vehicles which seem to be outright errors or mistakes in the way they were implemented. If I were to make a list of basic suggestions that could be expanded upon later:

Adding trailer support to vehicles which lack trailer support. (Entirely, or under arbitrary conditions such as the Step 310's inability to use trailers when equipped with flatbed and crane.)

To add roof lighting support for trucks which lack it. Such as the Fleetstar and Paystar. Neither of these vehicles have access to roof lights, and only 1 bumper with extra lighting.

Improve handling characteristics for trucks which feel under powered. Such as the P12 and P16. Neither of these trucks are actually under powered. They simply need the mass of their wheels increased to match other very heavy trucks, and they will perform as expected.

And most importantly. Address comically bad characteristics of certain vehicles such as the Voron D and Scout 800... both of these vehicles are entirely illogical when it comes to their center of mass. Which causes the Voron D to stand up on it's nose, or the Scout 800 to simply topple over backwards when approaching any sort of steep hill. Both of these honestly feel like oversight, or mistakes outright. It's hard for me to believe anyone would do something like this intentionally.
