I'm sure sites like Syncrude would be very interested in higher capacity trucks.
Not really, ground conditions are not conducive to heavier trucks. Couple that with the fact that shovels to match the higher payload rating of the trucks efficiently are not currently available, and the oilsands will most likely be happy sticking with what they have now.
It could be similar to the Segway. Touted as the next latest greatest hi-tech invention but never became a commercial success. Doesn't mean it isn't a good machine or very capable. The market just isn't wanting it at this time.
Just my point, just because you can build something and even if it has advantages over others in the market it does not mean you will have a long term winner!The Condorde was an amazing feat of engineering. Chief consultant was Jim Floyd who was the head of engineering for the Avro Arrow. The Avro Arrow was killed by the gov't. but that's another story. I think fuel consumption was one of the Concordes downfalls but they did build 20 of them. The Airbus A-380 is another one. I read where Boeing is discontinuing the 747 because newer 2 engine planes are much more efficient. Sometimes bigger isn't always better.
From the Gov't. of Canada website. Syncrude may not be the largest energy company but produced the most oil in 2019. Actually Koch Bros. had the most oilsands leases.

Originally produced by O&K but sold to Terex may be one of the reasons they aren't used anymore.
I think if the oilsands can support 797's they can likely support larger trucks.
