What this mod does

If you drive a modern DAF and find the stock sound flat, this mod by Slav Jerry gives it more believable factory audio. Version 3.0 (August 2026) is a complete rebuild that adds the DAF XD to the list.

Trucks and engines

  • SCS’s DAF XF 2021, XG, XD and XF Euro 6.
  • Paccar MX-13 (410–530 hp) and MX-11 (300–450 hp) engines.

What you’ll hear

  • Different sound depending on whether you listen from the front, the side, the rear or the cab.
  • ZF retarder and an engine fan that kicks in above 1,500 rpm.
  • Interior insulation, distance attenuation and directional distortion.

Who it’s for

For anyone after stock realism, not open pipes. It takes the same approach as his Scania V8 stock sound and Iveco Cursor stock sounds, so you can build a fleet with consistent factory sound. It pairs well with Sound Fixes Pack for the rest of the game’s sounds.

Version

TruckyMods lists it for ETS2 1.56–1.60. As of October 7, 2026, the author still hasn’t added 1.61.
