Thanks for the replys. So I take it from the replys that the rear view can be obtained for the Centuary it's just that I need to be in right place at the right time?

Yes, they all change every time you restart the game. To me, and others, it's like they ran out-of-stock, but you'll find them somewhere else.

It would be nice if you could order any equipment. And then go back a day later to get it.

This is not good since you may not even know what upgrades are available for your truck.

I went into a shop and could buy nothing for my truck. I thought it was because the truck was in too bad condition, or there were no upgrades available for it, only now I realized that you can't get every upgrade anywhere.

So this means I have to stop at each and every repair station to find out what upgrades I'm still missing? That's just great

I don't mind it so much. It makes you explore the map, and it changes every time you restart the game. For me that's just part of the uncertainty that keeps you guessing, and makes the game more interesting.

You mean when you actually start a new game it changes, or if you just load a saved game, each time everything will be different?

I didn't notice any changes when reloading a saved game, but when you close out of RnR, and reload it, everything changes in the warehouses. Even your saved games.

Hey guys, I just got hte game a few weeks back and am liking it so far. The only problem I have with it is that you can not manulally hook up all the trailers you pickup, and you can not maunally back them into a spot when you deliver them. I have been driving the Argosy for a while now and like it, I recently bought 2 9500s and one has a more powerful engine, I tookt he underpowered one under my command, and have not found any garages that sell an upgradable engine. Is it just me or is not available for the truck? It seems a bit wierd that it wont be as you can get ones with different engines in the shop.

Thanks in advance for any information that you can provide.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

I can't remember which ones, but I know there are some trucks that don’t have an engine upgrade. The one you chose could be the case. Keep checking though. You might get lucky. If you bought two versions of the truck with two different engines, I don’t see a reason why you can’t find the upgrade at some remote equipment shop. It did take me a long time to find one for a particular truck.

Thanks for your response. Once I get enough money I am going to scrap the 9500s and buy either a Western Star 4900 Ex, Titan Ventura, the Hercules Freedom or Liberty, and possible the Freightliner FLD120 Classic XL.

Any ideas on which one might be better than the other? To be honest with you, if they had Peterbilt in the game I would go with a Pete over any of the choices in the game. Just something about the Peterbilt 379X catches my fancy.

Thanks again in advance.
