Andrexea Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Decided to make this following all the hate ive heard about how broken RV's are when it comes to hauling resources, which I kind of agree with, being able to store oil barrels inside of a safe is a bit out there. But on the other side of things the storage capacity of Box trucks and the like are a bit small when compared to the real thing. I just bought a Pounder the other day, a rather large box truck, and its volume is? 500.. Thats less then three wooden crates.. or around 80 barrels roughly. Now sticking to real world figures for a moment the GVW of its copy is around 33000, which would put its capacity around 110 barrels being one 50 gallon drum of oil weighs around 300 pounds. But lets get into the fuzzy gaming math now. A person in GTA can carry 9 barrels on them, thats 2700 pounds, while carrying a wooden crate with four stacks of 9, thats 10,800 pounds in the box, for a grand total of 13,500 pounds. What im suggesting is following, the volumes of all box trucks be increased by quite a bit as why spend money on them when you can haul more with 4 people in a 4 seater with each person holding a crate plus what ever youve got in the trunk? Your litterly hauling more then double that of a large vehicle built for transporting goods. So instead of a volume of 500 why not have the volumes of box trucks increased to between 5k and 10k? It would be far more realistic when you look at how current game mechanics work with crates and vehicles.

Dashingly Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 +1, box trucks should have the most space of any vehicle by far (aside from the semi trucks with the trailer). I would love to see more RP with box trucks involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eradicati0n Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 +1, Box Trucks are huge, they should really have a bit more space than 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoza Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 +1 And adding ownership to trailers would be great as well, with their own storage capacity. This would really make trucking it's own thing as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR4STL Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 +1000 I think phantoms should be included in this but only when you attach a trailer and trailers should thus be ownable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
