This ones here for our truck evaluation? Nope not what we need send it back.

It must be like a ute

Or is it the colour?

Whilst I think that Bogliq Blue is awfully charmingā€¦the spec did say white.

I donā€™t know for sure, but for me truck is a big pick-up.

Well, in Moldova the word ā€œtruckā€ denotes any large utility vehicle but in the US? Not so muchā€¦ :confounded:

Weā€™ve let go our foreign idiom specialist and the lady that now holds the post says this vehicle would be considered a truck!

As always, our pictures are for promotional purposes only and, should we be successful, the NMT order will be delivered in Bogliqā€™s ā€œTranscendence Whiteā€.

Thankyou for your patienceā€¦

Regards

Why bother designing something new specifically for this challenge.

Here is Gamma Industries entry for evaluation.
This truck is focused to work, a light pick-up made to carry 5 people and the necessary load with enough torque and with reasonable fuel economy, pushed by a 3.0L I6 engine.
This version for evaluation is factory equipped with bumper protectors, both front and rear, tow hitch and hydraulic winch.

You would probably be surprised how many Americans would have called your first submission a truck.

Can confirm. Although I donā€™t like it when it happens.

5.5 hours left, and even though I have been working on the scores and reviews as they came in I will have quite a bit of work cut out for me.

Adenine has submitted an offer of 10 all-new 2017 Reverences for $224,900.

More info available here.

Looks like a truck to me. Not a pickup truck, mind you, but still a truck none-the-less!

I am still working on the last few that were entered, the biggest problem I had was a few of the truck/suv bodies from steam were not available to me because I hadnā€™t downloaded them and they were there but hidden so they wouldnā€™t break previous creations. These bodies are now in the vanilla content. It took time for me to fix the .luaā€™s to the vanilla content. Hopefully I did so without messing up any of the other settings.

The tests

A run around the mountain and through a few test rangesā€¦ does it meet the minimum standards
Offroad >40
Ride height >10ā€/254mm (not a hard limit)

Empty freeway, what RPM does it run at for 75mph.

Next will it hold 2000lbs without bottoming out.
Compared to half of the ride height
Standard: 2000lbs/rear spring rate
Progressive sqrt(2000lbs/rear spring rate)
Hydropneumatic through active comfort are adjustable.

How fast will it pull 5000lb box trailer up a steep hill on the range exceeding 20degrees.
25mph 208hp
20mph 166hp
15mph 125hp
10mph 83hp
5mph 42hp

The 4X4 drivetrain gets a bonus of having a 2:1 low range which the AWD does not get.
IRL I drop to 4low and do only 10 to keep from tearing up the trailer and the stuff in the trailer.

The same trailer doing 75mph down the freeway, what gear is it in.
Estimated 115hp and if it is over half of the available power give or take it would downshift.

Damn I knew I should have beefed up the rear springs, thatā€™s what just looking at the stats gets you and forgetting real life.

Same here, I noted this to make when ending the build, but totally forgot. The rear is even softer than the front suspension :sweat:

I think Iā€™ll do well in everything put payload.

I should also make a promotional post, but Iā€™ve closed the game after checking my springsā€¦

okay. test check
offroad >40 : :white_check_mark: (score 47)

Ride Height >254mm : :negative_squared_cross_mark: (250mm dead)

RPM @ 75mph (im guessing 120km/h?) : :white_check_mark: (1846 @ gear 8)

full load bottoming out test : i donā€™t understand this and whatā€™s the conversion. iā€™m skipping it, but iā€™m pretty sure mineā€™s shit

any towing test. NO PROB BOII

though it is AWD

conclusion. my engine is good. but i canā€™t make utility vehicles for shit.

The view from the top of north road.

Edit: I wish pictures did hills justice

I thought mine was higher than that. No big deal, honestly, just wasnā€™t expected.
