Hello /o/, lets see what we can come up with. List how the truck should be made.
Crew Cab, 8' box
Body on frame, straight 6 turbo diesel
Fully boxed frame and air horns.
Drop side flat top tray.
Styleside is soccermom tier.
>>13834366
Fuck that, the best highway engines have eight cylinders.
Manual Trans
inb4 Ford truck with a Cummins and Allison Transmission meme
Switch activated LED sign that say's "back off asshole" for tailgaters.
>>13834502
Ford F-350
New Cummins 6.7
Allison 1000
PERFECT

Smaller pickup, like Ranger sized.
4x4 with portal axles.
I4 diesel multifuel engine.
Either a 5spd manual or a 5spd automatic with paddles.
Painted camo.
Covered in mud over the camo.
Loaded with guns.
>>13834549
>Either a 5spd manual or a 5spd automatic with paddles.
Why either of these things?
>>13834549
Gotta be Manual
>>13834529
>Allison 1000
No
It's an overrated meme transmission
Good job falling for GM marketing
Mazda B2300 is the perfect truck.
>>13834553
Because I'm not autistic enough that I soil myself upon entering a vehicle with an automatic transmission.
Aluminum body?
>>13834580
Why are they 5 speeds? Why a manual?
>>13834561
Bruh the A1000 was used in the H1, it's perfect for the military it's perfect for us.
>>13834596
>Why are they 5 speeds?
Because I like 5 speeds.
>Why a manual?
Because I like manual.
>>13834611
>Because I like 5 speeds.
Why?
>Because I like manual.
But don't you want to go off road? That's why you have portals, isn't it?
>>13834609
The Military uses whatever is the cheapest to them.
So would you say that the Detroit 6.2 is the best engine to use since they put them in the HMMWV?
No, because that's fully retarded
>>13834296
either a fully boxed frame (full-sized) or a unibody design based on a CAR (small truck)
Front wheel drive
>>13834619
>Why?
Because it's a prime number. 3 speeds is too few for usage over a wide range of speeds and what the fuck would I do with 7 gears? 5 is the only option.
>But don't you want to go off road? That's why you have portals, isn't it?
Are you implying I can't go off-road in a manual? Personal experiences would reason otherwise.
>>13834658
>>Why?
>Because it's a prime number. 3 speeds is too few for usage over a wide range of speeds and what the fuck would I do with 7 gears? 5 is the only option.
Autism award goes to you
>>13834658
>Because it's a prime number. 3 speeds is too few for usage over a wide range of speeds and what the fuck would I do with 7 gears? 5 is the only option.
Yep, autism.
>Are you implying I can't go off-road in a manual?
No, but an automatic is better.
Stack exhaust
>>13834729
>No, but an automatic is better.
Note that I said 5spd manual or 5spd automatic with paddles. So long as I can tell the transmission what gear to be in and not be second guessed, I'm happy.
>>13834749
>not even true dual exhaust
Kek
>>13834754
I did note that, but you can do away with the manual altogether and use a 6,7,8,9 speed transmission instead of a 5 speed. This is 2015, not 1995.
>pic related
That was easy
>>13834783

>>13834795
Got me there, forgot what year this was from.
>pic related redemption round.
>>13834773
Is there even a point to having that many gears? Unless you're a semi truck, I mean.
Seriously. It seems like an 8 or 9 speed would just be constantly shifting, when it could get by with less complexity by being a 5 or 6 speed.
>>13834846
Having more gears in a truck means the drivetrain has to strain less overall when pulling a load. You know, the purpose of a truck.
>>13834900
And yet the big boy pickups all use 6 speed transmissions.
>>13834951
Except that dodge 8 speed amirite
design a truck?
6 wheel drive
4 wheel steering
large load bed
high compression multi fuel engine (runs on anything combustable)
high air intake
high exhaust
components shared through entire series of models
engine and trans come as one unit that can be swapped out in under 2 hours
amphibious
water jet propulsion when in water
>>13834958
I said big boy. They aren't mating that 8 speed to a Cummins. The trucks designed to pull heavy shit have 6 speeds.
>>13834967
ah fuck it's already been done
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mr_pCrhTkk
>>13834974
Because it takes more time to develop the stronger transmissions used in 1 ton light duty trucks.
>>13835016
Also gonna be heavy as shit, I imagine.
Size of a 1st Gen Tacoma, think 00-04, v8/turbo diesel option in stick. All model variants too.
All i fucking want is a Smog legal v8 for my truck godamnit
>>13835025
Why would you imagine that?
Auto is a dual range, manual is a 4*3 twin box because lol. Light duty model has a 6spd conventional manual only. Boxes are 6.5 or 8ft. Cabs are 2dr single bench or 4dr dual bench. No center consoles. EVER. Also super powered steering. Sway bars are standard but quick release for off road use. Tires are 35" diameter and transfer case is hi-direct-lo shifting engines consist of 4 and 6 curl diesels and a multi fuel turbine.
>>13835039
Because an 8 gear transmission is going to have more material in than an equally built 6 gear transmission.
>>13835050
Literally 1 extra set of planetary gears. It wouldn't be much heavier than whatever transmission it replaces.

Stopped reading here. Fucking dropped
Given that we're memeing about transmissions and shit right now:
Is the 4l80e really the GOAT (greatest of all transmissions)?
>design a truck
okay
>>13835117
No, the A1000 is.
Lb7 with compound turbos dropped in a 2014 2500hd body, 6 speed manual transmission, crew cab shortbed, 4 linked SFA and air ride
>>13834632
>So would you say that the Detroit 6.2 is the best engine to use since they put them in the HMMWV?
Obviously that would be the turbo 6.5.
>>13835117
Meh its ok, just a th400 with another gear and computers
Its better then the godawful 4l60e

I want a Mega Cab, but from Ford or Chevy.
I like the appeal of that extra cab space, but then you're driving a Dodge.
full size military jeep cab and bed
>>13834475
this
flat bed
lowered as much as possible while maintaining payload
i6 turbo diesel
extended cab minimum
uh, cruise control
easy to service
preferably a hood 6 people can stand on.
>>13834772
>true dual
>inline motor
>Truck the size of a Toyota hilux
>suspension and frame built to haul/tow 15,000lbs
>V8
Done
>>13835525
I'd love a chevy mega cab. Not quite as long as pic related though
Extended cab
6 wheel drive 30/40/30
18 inch ground clearance
Water wadeing kit
Inline 6 multi fuel diesel made by Catipillar
Body on frame
6 speed manual with granny gear
Stake bed
Front and rear winch
Dual battery dual alternator
On board air compressor
7 inch Stack exhaust
Beadlocked wheels
4 full size spares
Exo cage
Adjustable Air Suspension
>>13835828
you forgot portal axles
>>13835842
Feel free to add on or recommend changes to some of the items amigo.
I want something rugged as shit.
In my mind the truck isn't too large but I don't know how compact a 6x6 can get.
Especially with full size spares in the stake bed and still having some room left over to do truck bed stuff with.
The engine would be one 60 litre cylinder.
Gas.
>small
>real small

>8 foot bed

>no more than 4500 curb weight, preferably sub 4k

Would you buy one /o/?
>>13834296
>For most people:
3.5L-.4.5L guzzoline V6
RWD
Extended cab
>Imma do actual work:
6.0+L turbo diesel V8
Reg cab (unless it transporting teams more than 2 people)
Dual rear
AWD
electronic locking diff
Long bed (or work-appropriate utility)
>>13835828
>Inline 6 multi fuel diesel made by Catipillar
>6 speed manual with granny gear
>Stake bed
This. Gotta have a big Bullbar on the front. I'd go crew cab with the option to use the back as a covered, locked cargo area instead of the rear seats.
>>13835864
Yes with option for 5 1/2 - 6ft bed, easy lift + reasonable axles, and good styling cues.
Really though the diesel makes it, I would even take the 8ft bed option and chop it down a little if I had to.
>>13836015
>Yes with option for 5 1/2 - 6ft bed, easy lift + reasonable axles, and good styling cues.
Yeah it would have a short bed option and be body on frame and such. It's meant to be a good blue collar/hobbyist truck. So not one for towing massive trailers but just picking up a load of wood from Lowes, carrying workshop machines, mulch/cement etc while also not being fucking awful to DD due to gas and being massive like most trucks have gotten.
>>13835751
So, basically a VDJ79 Landcruiser?
>>13835828
>6 wheel drive 30/40/30
Please don't tell me this is an AWD torque split in a truck...
>>13834749
