What this mod does
Caterpillar 785C Mining Truck for Lowboy Trailer is a mod by Harven that adds the Caterpillar 785C mining truck, known as the “MUTT”, as heavy cargo. It’s carried on a three-axle lowboy, modified from the Lowboy 55L (Magnitude 55L) with a spacer.

- Width: 6.5 m. Height: 5.3 m. Total length: 27 m.

Where to find it
It’s picked up at HMS, Oakland Shipper, Plaster & Sons or Rail Export. It’s delivered to Bitumen, Coastline Mining, Oakland Shipper, Plaster & Sons, Rail Export or Mud Creek Slide. Since 1.33 it shows up both as a regular job and as a special transport.
DLC
At first it required the Heavy Cargo Pack DLC, but since 1.39 it no longer depends on any DLC.
Warnings
The author warns that it’s wider than any other cargo in ATS and can cause problems. The latest update is from November 30, 2024, and the description doesn’t list a game version. Some players say SCS changed the lowboys with the owned trailers update and that it might not work. Another says it isn’t compatible with 1.58.
