Over the road drivers appreciate trucks designed for economy, dependability, and success. The Larsson Logistics Logistar cargo delivery truck has been specially designed for successful cargo delivery on SL mainland roads, so you can easily "Get'er Done" as you planned and go quickly to next freight delivery.
Logistar has proven popular with SL drivers since first introduced in 2018. The size and design are ideal for over-the-road deliveries in the GTFO! freight delivery game. GTFO! apps and ID are preloaded in this truck for you so all you have to do is join the GTFO! group and get your hands on their GTFO! HUD.
A customer said "I would like to let you know that the truck, the Logistar, it's wonderful. It will drive over anything, rock steady." Another said: "Drives just like I wished. It's a great truck." And, one more customer told me, "Having a blast, thank you!!! Love!"
You can easily change colors of cargo container by saying color name in open chat or /3 chat. For example say "/3brown" in chat to send private message for brown. Colors are: white, red, blue, yellow, orange, green, olive, teal, purple, and brown. With 8.6 you also get a selection of five five exceptional driver views. The two inside the cab views give realistic inside driver views of road and you can also see your steering wheel turn when you turn the truck.
Keying simple commands in chat lets you choose one of five views: keying "v1" gives classic view from behind, "v2" is view just to right of driver's head, "v3" is driver's view over steering wheel, "v4" is center of truck just in front of windshield (mouselook over the hood), and "v5" is super view from behind and above (perfect for loading docks and relaxing over the road).
You will love Larsson "Active Steering." My carefully designed algorithm adjusts handling to each speed you select. When you change speeds the truck accurately gives you a private message with new gear speed, mps power, and my special coefficient for active steering.
Logistar is easy to drive. Speed is controlled with a ten gears. Use viewer motion controls jump up and crouch down to change gear speed, or use keyboard page up/down arrows. There are three reverse speeds, just key "low" or "normal" or "high" in open chat or /3 chat to select reverse gear you want.
You hear engine start up when you sit and exhaust pipe gives appropriate exhaust smoke. When driver stands exhaust ends. Engine sound is realistic for truck of this size, there is smooth idle sound, and a "beep-beep" classic back up warning sound when you go into reverse.
Logistar features AV Sitter so you can adjust sitting position for driver and passenger.
Logistar has working rear cargo doors, cab doors, a working cargo loading ramp that extends from truck to ground on touch, and working spotlight headlights (if you have advanced lighting selected in your viewer graphics preferences). Doors have sound effect on open/close..
Headlights are controlled by a button on dash and you hear electronic confirmation sound when you touch. Touch back bumper for a "beep beep" truck delivery horn sound or key a "b" in chat or /3 chat. Truck is also scripted to work with the NTBI automated gas pumps.
This is an approved GTFO! vehicle. VAPI code and API are script already installed. VAPI code is: LLLOGISTAR. Specifications are: Larsson Logistar | Capacity: 3 Heavy Crates (900 FU | Overhead: G$0 per kilometer.
It is already set up to work immediately latest GTFO! v1.9.2. I always quickly update my vehicles to latest version.
Notice three freight crates already inside cargo area. Three more items will be loaded and unloaded automatically for you as you accept and deliver freight loads.
If you plan to park your truck inworld for a while the prim equivalent is only 39. I have adjusted physics on vehicle, and of course you can take a passenger along in cab.
This is a copy only vehicle. It features my touch to rescale script so you can easily adjust vehicle size to your liking. Touch spare tire behind cab and blue menu will appear on your viewer screen. Feel free to contact me if you want your name on the doors or license plate. I will be happy to do this for you.
Thanks, stay safe, and best wishes!

Great Freight Truck!
This isn't a fancy truck, it doesn't have a ton of special features, not even working instruments. If that's what you want, look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you want a truck that handles well even at higher speeds, crosses sims well even at higher speeds, and looks good, this is the truck you want. It comes with a basic camera hud and that's it. The doors on the back open if you want that. Otherwise, this is just an amazing vehicle to drive along the roads and explore. The scripting is custom, not ACS, and it doesn't have the twitchiness in steering that a lot of vehicles exhibit. Considering the price, this can't get anything less that 5 stars. I'd really suggest considering this as well as the Mainlander ATV (Jeep) which is priced similarly, has the same scripting, and is just as much fun.
The best!
Updated for version 3.6
Much of what I suggested was quickly put in place so I have reevaluated the current version and continue to feel this is clearly worthy of 5 stars.
Not new to driving nor GTFO so using my experience for this review. Most of the time I do GTFO by Air and Sea, but wanted to try something new and this seemed the perfect way to test how GTFO is over land and I did not want to spend a lot in case something I did not like it keeping in mind how trying driving in SL can be for many reasons. All that said I was happily surprised after doing a few runs. Besides the great price I like the fact the size is right for normal average height/size people I am 5'5 (I see some makers make things that will only fit people 6'+). The scripting does a good job keeping you upright, I never went over using view(s) by the truck or supplied camera/view HUD. I also like the fact the truck is mod minus the scripts of course. Some ideas for improvement.... Would be nice to have the included textures full mod because with non-trans SL will not allow customers to download them which is needed if customer wish to mod them outside SL which is needed to put a logo or something on them. Blank template for logo on truck would be nice. Not going to mention adding animations because that I would consider a major job and would not feel comfortable suggesting that for something that sells for only $L400 currently. Very nice work and again I Highly recommend.
Pretty Legit Vehicle
If you're anything like me. Your first concern is is this yet another ACS vehicle. I can assure you, no.
The coding is in fact pretty legit. The vehicle crosses regions at a reasonable speed, roughly 1 second a region cross which is pretty acceptable. If you're playing GTFO you want region crossings to not suck since you are going to do a lot of those on a time limit. This will give you not-suck on region crossings, so you can get those deliveries in on time without freaking out.
It handles like you'd expect from a truck. Default cam is first person, there is an included view control HUD that lets you toggle the view around.
At 400 lindens the price is under 2 USD. This is real cheap and pretty decent. You ought to buy it.
