I kind of wish my fuel tank was still standing on its own legs.
It looked better than laying on the ground.

I.M.H.O. Having the detachable hook backer was far Superior to the new one we have now after the updated truck. Using XB1 Console.

Having the hook as an option doesn't bug me as much, however the new turning radius is absolutely horrible, that is the reason I stopped using it and went back to the Legende.

Yeah. I still use mine bit I hope it gets updated...the turning radius is abysmal. I often use my barrelcore or even my twinstar in tight places.

The hook and truck as 1 piece is alright, but the reason why BsM adjusted the turning radius is because people were taking the corners to fast leading to losing their load, which is IMO stupid, cause people are to lazy to slow down and turn, and for those of us who used the truck the right way has to pay for those who are in a rush.

Yep. When the update came out i thought it wasn't too bad. The more I used it the more I felt it wasn't realistic. I saw some where bsm said they would see what they can do to fix the turning radius.

How many slots does the truck use with the hook lift built in after the update? I've not updated because of what I read about the changes but I'm running out of slots on GCV.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
My 850 spends most of its life below 35mph, so its load carrying ability was unchanged by the update.
My 850 is working in Maplefield in GCV, it can no longer turn a street corner without going onto both sidewalks or stopping and backing up.
(picture Austin Powers turning his golf cart around)
The update killed this truck for me.
Right now its the fuel carrier, but it only works with the axle lifted, and the rear steer on.
(I've never seen a truck with rear steer, and the lifter axle should be down when the truck is loaded)

Until they fix it, I've leased another Tatra ITR truck.

850 is good but honestly the OshKosh with the BioBeltz IT trailer is better.
