What this mod does
Kast’s Rigid chassis addon is one of the most followed truck mods on the official SCS forum: its thread has over a million views. It turns the game’s trucks into rigid trucks, with the cargo on their own chassis instead of on a semi-trailer, like the ones you see in northern Europe also pulling a trailer.
How it works
- A required base file with tandem chassis in several wheelbases and bodies from brands like Ekeri, Knapen, Närko, NTM and Toplift, plus parts such as Zepro tail lifts and Moffett forklifts.
- One add-on per truck: SCS’s Volvo FH4, FH5 and FH6, DAF 2021/XD, MAN TGX (Euro 6 and 2020), Renault Range T and Iveco S-Way, and also mod trucks like the Scanias by RJL, JUseeTV and Eugene, Gloover’s MAN TGX E6, Krille’s Magnum, FH1 and Valor F-Series, and johnny244’s FH3.
- Options for clearance lights and upper rear lights in accessory slots since 1.3.
Who it’s for
For anyone who wants to build a truck with a box, curtain or tipper body and hook a trailer behind it. If you use a mod truck, you need that mod installed: the add-on only adds the chassis. It pairs well with Ekeri Trailers Revision, by the same author.
Version
The author lists it for ETS2 1.58.x or later. The latest update (October 4, 2026) brings the add-on for Eugene’s Scania up to its new version.
