NeocodexWhat I like about the Gt games is many people can drive their real life cars, or everyday cars they see on the streets. Its not just supercars. For the Japanese players that are the big buyers of these games, they add 50 different versions of the skyline or 60 different civics so these people can race their real cars in a game...
Take that and switch it to North America. I look down my street and every 3rd driveway has a truck. 1 of every 2 has an SUV.
There are more F150's on my street then any other vehicle. Infact, there are more Dodge Ram's on my street then any single same model car.
It would only make sense that if you want to appeal to NA drivers the same way you do for Japanese drivers, having more SUVs and trucks would be pure cash.
Adding in the new model F150, Ram, Silverado, Tundra and Titian would be awesome.
Others like the Ram SRT10 and Ford Raptor(and Velociraptor), the Toyota Helix(also include the top gear one), rangers, canyons etc.
Common, how fun would it be to take the 6.2L supercharged Raptor around the Ring, or Trial Mountain.
Id love to race my 09 F150 crew cab 4x4 5.4L![]()

Oh yes, I'd like to see more trucks/SUVs. But not only the top grade versions; I'd like normal, lower grade versions too, and diesel engined versions in particular. As they would only be variations of the top versions (modeling-wise) it wouldn't require too much time to include them too. They should.
I was gonna say, if Analog sees this picture he will be posting in minutes
The FIA European Truck Racing Championship sure looks a lot of fun to me and I think a couple of these trucks (or even one) would add a welcome bit of variety and sure has a place in a game like GT I reckon, Codemasters Toca Race Driver 3 had some racing trucks (yet it also included monster trucks..) and those Dakar rally raid trucks in the original Dirt were my personal favourites to drive in that game.
Let me rephrase that, I'd love to see them included.
The Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am doesn't exist anymore. They cut it up for scrap. The front end used to sit in the front of a local hospital entrance where I live. At least the real thing was cut up. They still have others that are identical.

The Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am (original from first movie, not sure about the other 2) doesn't exist anymore. They cut it up for scrap.

Why the hell was it a hospital?
Am I that obvious? Yep, I like my trucks, a guilty pleasure perhaps but hardly a secret one anymore it seems.....
If they include that one, they will also have to include that car:
