Realistic Truck Physics Mod

Frkn64's long-running physics mod: softer, more realistic suspension, cab movement and trailer behaviour, so trucks feel heavy and planted on the road.

About this mod

The default ETS2 trucks can feel stiff and floaty at the same time. Realistic Truck Physics reworks chassis suspension, cab movement and how trailers react to the road, so braking, cornering and bumps feel closer to a real heavy truck. It also smooths the interior camera.

The free version on Steam Workshop covers all current SCS trucks. Frkn64 also sells a paid "Ultimate" pack through a Mod Pass membership; you don't need it to use this mod.

Features

  • Reworked chassis suspension for handling and stability
  • Cab movement that reacts to braking, acceleration and bumps
  • Trailer physics that respond to road conditions
  • Smoother interior camera
  • Optional Convoy (multiplayer) support
