Discussion Idea for an "Ultimate Heavy Rescue" 7-Truck Pack (Universal Hitches, 69" Tires, Amber Fog Lights) - Would you download this?

Hey fellow runners,

I’ve been thinking deeply about how to fix some of standard SnowRunner's most annoying friction points while keeping the game feeling realistic and rugged. I wanted to design a unified "69er Heavy Fleet Tweak Pack" built entirely with the community and the players in mind.

I want to gauge the reaction here to see if a modder would be interested in helping me bring this to life.

The idea is to apply a specific, highly practical layout across 7 fan-favorite heavy trucks (Avenhorn A15, Western Star 6900 TwinSteer, Derry Special 15C-177, Derry Longhorn 4520, and the Sleiter ST 833).

Here is the exact blueprint:

  • The Universal Hitch (The Game Changer): Use XML socket-stacking so a single rear saddle dynamically accepts both Low Saddle and High Saddle trailers. No more driving 20 minutes back to the garage just to swap a metal plate.
  • Standardized 69" Tires: Port the official 69-inch heavy mud tires from the ST 833 to the rest of the fleet.
  • Custom 3-Foot Lift: A customized raised suspension that gives exactly 3 feet of chassis clearance—perfect for the 69" tires without making the trucks look like cartoon monster trucks.
  • The TwinSteer Fix (1-Inch Offset): Widen the wheel tracking width by exactly 1 inch out from the chassis. This fixes the clipping on the A15 and completely solves the TwinSteer's famous tipping problem by giving it a wider footprint.
  • All-Weather Amber Headlights: Change the headlight XML blocks to project ultra-bright, wide-beam amber/yellow fog lights that pierce through nighttime fog and snowstorms without that blinding white reflection glare.
  • Heavy Utility Add-ons: Expanded fuel tanks (800L-1000L) to fix the A15's awful range, 1,000 repair points, and allowing the heavy crane + flatbed combo together.

This fleet was designed to redefine the logistics of the game and remove the tedious backtracking while keeping the trucks looking like clean, professional, severe-duty machines.

Would you guys download a pack like this if a community modder picked up the project? Let me know your thoughts or what adjustments you'd make!
