All trucks have body roll to some extent, but concrete mixers are hell to drive.

Maybe with mods, but base game no.

Why would you want to drive one. They look silly with out the drum turning. If the drum doesn't turn the cement will harden and they can not pour it. If the cement dries inside the drum, the you will have to climb inside with a hammer and beat it loose. Not fun...

SCS should animate the drum so that it revolves :steamhappy:

Even when there's no water in there, they still turn the agitator to mix the aggregate, so I've been told.

I personally would like SCS to remove them until they actually function. Nothing stranger than seeing a cement mixer with no rotating drum.

Some folks claim a controversy surrounding the cement mixers in the beginning was that even though at the time SCS had no public agreement with Mack, the cement mixer truck was a Mack.
