Trucks are an integral part of Spintires Mudrunner, just like mods. Modders have created a huge variety of trucks, but among them, some stand out as very well-crafted, powerful, and cool examples. Today, we will look at several very cool truck mods for Mudrunner.
This selection is based on the author's subjective opinion. If you don't like any of the mods in this selection or would add other mods – write your list in the comments, we will gladly read them all.
Mercedes-Benz Zetros 3643
Our selection opens with the high-quality Mercedes-Benz Zetros 3643 truck by author dan_ft. A huge amount of work was done on this truck, as almost everything was created from scratch, except for the interior and steering wheel.
This is a huge vehicle that fits perfectly into the game world and helps with gameplay. It transports 2+2, 3+3, and 8 points of cargo. At the same time, the author tried to make sure the truck is not too "overpowered," with good but not cheating-level off-road capability.
Besides all of the above, the Zetros 3643 has a large number of addons. There are 9 custom and 6 standard addons in total. Overall, this vehicle has many advantages. You can learn more details on the download page.
Over 100 positive reviews from players already speak to the mod's quality. Also, keep in mind this is dan_ft's first truck, and it turned out very cool.
MAZ 200 Series
This mod for Spintires Mudrunner contains several trucks from the Minsk Automobile Plant. We are talking about the 200 series. This series includes the MAZ-205, MAZ-200-K61, MAZ-200/200V, MAZ-501, and MAZ-502 trucks. Yes, after installing the mod, all these trucks will appear in your game.
Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, its own purpose. For example, the MAZ 502 is a military truck with additional addons and excellent off-road capability. It was intended for military use.
Meanwhile, the MAZ 501 is not military equipment but a logging truck designed for transporting logs. It has enhanced off-road capability and is perfect for difficult road conditions, which are definitely present in Spintires Mudrunner.
A very high-quality mod that perfectly complements the game. It has many positive reviews from players and many downloads. You can see a full description of each truck on the download page, as well as information about available addons.
MAZ-6317 6X6
Another masterpiece from the Minsk Automobile Plant – the MAZ-6317 6x6, which fits perfectly into the overall game concept and complements your truck garage. It is used in many sectors: both civilian and armed forces of various countries, as well as firefighting.
The MAZ 6317 has quite high off-road capability and power. It is ideal for transporting logs. The mod is very well crafted. There are many addons: 16 custom and 12 standard.
Additionally, it has its own cargo, animations, and cabin view. It fully complies with all SpinTires Mudrunner standards and is very popular among players (11,000+ downloads, 100+ positive reviews).
Iveco-Prapor
A pack of Iveco trucks for Spintires Mudrunner. The pack includes 3 trucks: Iveco 420, Iveco 420S, and Iveco 8x8. Each of these trucks has its own features and drawbacks – you can't have it otherwise. Naturally, we won't describe each truck separately here (you can find information about them on the download page), but we will highlight their features.
The author added animated cargo and various other animations. For example, there is fuel animation in the tank, beam animation, steering knuckle animation, and more. Addons deserve special mention. Each truck has a different number of addons: both custom and standard. The 8x8 variant has a total of 13 addons: 9 custom and 4 standard.
Kraz-260/260V
Continuing our selection of the best trucks, the honorable place is taken by the Kraz-260 truck and the Kraz-260V semi-trailer tractor. Each of them has standard and custom addons and various advantages.
For example, the trucks have their own animations and quite decent off-road capability, which in MudRunner's reality is a very important, if not the most important, indicator. Besides that, they have their own cargo, and the vehicles leave their own tracks – fully compliant with Spintires Mudrunner standards.
You will learn the rest of the mod details on the download page!
Kraz-6316 "Siberia"
Many will agree that Soviet equipment performs best in harsh working conditions, and in MudRunner, you constantly have to work in such conditions. We present to you the rather old Kraz-6316 "Siberia" truck, which was developed back in 1988.
The mod author perfectly recreated this vehicle, added a large number of addons: 13 custom and 5 standard, and made sure the vehicle complies with all game standards.
It turned out pretty cool. The mod itself has gained a large number of downloads and over 100 likes.
Zil-157
Another vehicle that was used back in the USSR for military purposes has made it into MudRunner. Actually, there is not much to say about this vehicle: it is a standard sturdy and powerful truck that is perfect for completing assigned tasks.
The truck has enhanced off-road capability, its own and standard addons (17 and 5 respectively), custom cargo and animations, a quality model, and quality textures. The downside is the disabled (non-functional) instrument panel.
The Zil-157 was converted from Spintires. Players have grown very fond of this truck. Proof of this is nearly 10,000 downloads, a large number of positive reviews, and likes. A well-deserved place in the selection!
Kraz-255B
It is probably hard to find a person who does not know about the Kraz-255B – a masterpiece of Soviet production that began manufacturing in the late 1960s and continued until the early to mid-1990s.
The Kraz-255B transports 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 points of cargo. It has perfect off-road capability, quite large dimensions, its own animations, and other features. Special mention should be made of the huge number of available addons: 21 custom and 9 standard (a total of 30 addons).
Like many other popular mods, the Kraz-255B was converted directly from Spintires. After downloading the mod, you will get not one but two trucks. The only difference is in the differential: the first Kraz has a locked differential, and the second has an unlocked one.
Ural-4320-41 SVE
If you are looking for a truly powerful, beautiful, and functional truck for completing various difficult tasks in SpinTires Mudrunner – we present to you the Ural-4320-41 SVE – a truck that transports 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 points of cargo, has very good off-road capability, which significantly eases work in hard-to-pass areas.
In total, the Ural-4320-41 SVE has 24 addons. Among its advantages: a quality model, quality textures, a good cabin, animations, its own cargo, and full compliance with game standards.
Over 11,000 downloads and many enthusiastic reviews. However, the truck is indeed very powerful, so some call it "cheaty." Is that really the case? Not really, but it probably won't suit hardcore fans.
KamAZ Pack
Again, we are looking at not a single truck but a whole pack of quality trucks. Many prefer to use KamAZ trucks for work because they are versatile, powerful, and very durable equipment for almost any conditions and tasks.
The mod adds 5 KamAZ models at once. Each of these trucks has its own features and drawbacks, its own models, textures, custom and standard addons. After installation, you will get the following KamAZ models: Kamaz-4350, Kamaz-5350, Kamaz-53501, Kamaz-53504, Kamaz-63501.
13,000+ downloads, many likes, and positive reviews.
MZKT Pack
The top three trucks in our selection start with the mod called "MZKT Pack," which consists of two MZKT models: MZKT-600100 and MZKT-600201. Despite having fewer downloads than the trucks in previous places (only 6,000), the mod confidently takes 3rd place. It has a number of very cool features that we will describe below.
The first feature is the presence of independent spring suspension, and the second feature is a hydromechanical transmission with electronic control. These are not just words, as all of the above gives incredible characteristics to these trucks. Thus, you can pass through quite difficult terrain at relatively high speeds without fear of damaging your vehicle.
The author warns that the map is intended for medium to high difficulty levels because the off-road capability is quite high, and on easy maps, it will be uninteresting and too easy. Fuel consumption is also quite low, so there is no need to worry about that. Naturally, all Spintires Mudrunner standards are observed.
Ural Pack
Second place in our selection is taken by a mod from Darius – a pack of high-quality, balanced, and cool Ural trucks. The pack contains 6 cool Ural models:
- 43206 "Hunter";
- 5453-4320-50m;
- 44202-0511-41;
- 4320-1110-41;
- 6614;
- 5557 "Kolhoznik".
MAZ-500 Series
And the first place in our selection goes to the mod "MAZ-500 Series." Yes, another pack of trucks. The author really put in a great effort, creating quality models and textures for each individual truck, adding animations, custom settings, and much more!
Each truck in this pack has its own features, advantages, and disadvantages, and is better suited for specific tasks. For example, the MAZ-509A is a logging truck that is perfect for transporting logs of various sizes.
The MAZ-515B and MAZ-504V are semi-trailer tractors. However, their wheel formulas differ significantly. The first truck has 6x4, and the second has 4x2. You can learn more about these trucks on the download page.
The mod rightfully takes first place. Yes, there are mods with many more downloads than the MAZ 500 series. However, in terms of quality, number of enthusiastic reviews, and likes, few can compete with this mod.
And that concludes our selection, dear readers. We remind you that this is our subjective opinion, and we do not impose our point of view on anyone. You can write in the comments which trucks you consider the best; we would be interested to know!
