* **Engine Options:** The mod typically offers various engine options, mirroring the real-life versions, such as 320 HP, 360 HP, and 410 HP, with some mods also including “chipped” or non-original higher horsepower options (e.g., 460 HP, 500 HP).
* **Chassis Options:** Common chassis configurations include 4×2, 6×2, and 6×4.

* Interior accessories (radios, GPS, curtains, etc.)
* External accessories (spoilers, mudguards, lights, antennas)
* Paint jobs and the ability to create custom skins.
* Sound packages that aim to accurately replicate the real truck’s engine and horn sounds (often using FMOD for realistic audio).
