About this mod
Big Stars adds heavy-haul Mercedes trucks alongside the stock vehicles. The Actros offers two 8x4 chassis lengths and a Gigaspace option, while both models have wide Bigspace cabs and a range of bumpers, mudguards, grilles and towing-hitch choices.
Heavy-cargo signs, light plates and roof bars help configure the trucks for specialist work. The latest author release note identifies v1.9.3 for ETS2 1.61, although an older compatibility paragraph remains lower on the page. Owners upgrading older versions may need to replace affected vehicles if configuration options are missing.
