yeah, no, there's none, just intuition. )

But I pulled the steering wheels off it for the Samaras)) I'll squeeze out the titanium exhaust too))

Why couldn’t the mod author have done it like this right away? I wasted a whole night, damn it, going by the photos from Drive) The odometer works))

Solid mod rated 4+.
Overall, it's decent, with both pre-facelift and facelift versions, several configurations, and a solid base. However, it doesn't quite shine: it's fun to drive, but I didn't feel the effect of 'this is something I'll keep for a long time.' A good average, but lacking a special touch.

The body of the mod is indeed good — a firm 4+, sometimes even closer to 5. The geometry, proportions, appearance, and detailing of the Hilux are well done, the car is instantly recognizable and looks very nice from the outside.


However, the technical part and the interior are noticeably weaker. The dashboard and button backlighting are often overly bright, the materials in the interior don't always work well with the lighting, and the left mirror hardly reflects. The dashboard screen has a strange logic, and after 120 km/h, an Arabic warning appeared instead of normal information. The animations for the mechanical and automatic selectors are rough: the levers move awkwardly, the cover and knob deform.


The engine sound is initially too loud, the steering amplifier is oddly not installed by default, and the turn signals have no proper sound. The model is also unfinished underneath: the underbody textures are simple, and the all-wheel-drive version visually lacks some elements of the front drive/reduction, although the 4WD itself works.


A separate downside is the plethora of Arabic names and Gulf-version specific items that should either be localized or placed in separate configurations.


Conclusion: a very good external model, but it desperately lacks technical polish. If the interior, dashboard, gearbox animations, sounds, and underbody are refined — it could become a truly excellent Hilux. Right now, it's more of a good base for improvement than a finished quality mod.

I'm doing fine

A very high-quality mod. It's clear that the author didn't just slap a nice body onto a ready-made base, but actually worked on the car.


I especially liked the mechanics: the manual transmission lever is not just animated, but works properly in an H-pattern, the clutch pedal is also present and moves. Inside, everything feels alive, the dashboard is readable, the interior is pleasant, the materials and overall assembly look neat. Driving with a manual is really enjoyable.


The technical aspects are also good: a normal JBeam structure, several engine and gearbox options, a working power steering, brakes, and configurations that are not just for show.


The only noticeable downside I've found so far is that the turn signal indicators on the dashboard are too dim, especially during the day. They work, but the green indicator almost gets lost against the scales. Judging by the materials, this is a minor emissive/opacity issue and can be easily fixed.


The archive also contains a few service/leftover configs and a couple of minor errors in JSON/JBeam, but they don't affect regular driving.


Overall, the mod is very solid and feels complete. It's one of those cases where you sit behind the wheel and just enjoy, rather than immediately looking for what's broken again.

Overall, the mod is quite good at its core. The car feels alive, especially with the manual transmission — driving with a stick shift is genuinely enjoyable, the shifter works, the gears change smoothly, the turn signals function, the interior is pleasant, and the green American dashboard lighting adds to the atmosphere. There is compatibility with PGP, all-wheel drive works, and there are enough configurations.


However, there are several shortcomings that stand out during normal driving.


— In the Extra menu, some names were in Arabic.
— The seatbelt warning light constantly flashed while the engine was running, even though there is no real seatbelt mechanism or animation.
— The manual transmission lacks a clutch pedal. The animation for it is present in JBeam, but the 3D mesh of the pedal is missing from the model.
— For some reason, the steering assist is not installed by default in any configuration. This looks very strange for the 2013 Silverado.
— The exhaust is visually not connected: the front part and the rear muffler are physically linked, but there is a noticeable gap between the 3D meshes.
— There was an incorrect palette-path for the body material: the white Silverado appeared blue in the mirrors of another vehicle.
— On rear-wheel drive, during heavy wheel spin, the ESC/TC aggressively brakes the rear wheels, causing a constant screeching of brakes and one of the rear discs to overheat quickly. On all-wheel drive, the problem nearly disappears.
— The headlights are visually almost indistinguishable from being off during the day. When turned on, only small bright spots appear inside the optics, and there is virtually no full illumination from the headlights themselves.


It is important to note that most of these issues do not ruin the mod itself. The foundation is genuinely good, the car drives nicely, the interior does not feel empty, the mechanics add character, and you want to keep driving.


If the author improves the optics, clutch pedal, steering assist, exhaust, and minor errors in materials/electronics logic, it will result in a very strong Silverado. Right now, it is a good mod with an excellent foundation that just needs some final polishing.

Overall, the mod is good. The exterior of the car is nicely done, the interior is also decent, the wheels in version 1.5 look fine, the lighting and overall detailing leave a good impression.


However, there are two noticeable issues when driving from the interior.


The first is that the camera starts to jerk unpleasantly when stopped. The reason turned out to be the internal cameras being tied to the seat nodes. After relocating the cameras to the rigid nodes of the body/floor and adjusting the damping, the problem completely disappeared.


The second issue is that with the lights on, some of the dashboard needles became dull. The materials used for the needles had a translucent scheme with low opacity and AddAlpha. After correcting the material and emissive, the needles began to glow evenly and noticeably richer.


After these two fixes, the mod is perceived quite differently. The car is pleasant, driving from the interior has become comfortable. The base of the mod is good, but these minor flaws should be fixed by the author in the next update.

Overall, the mod is decent, even leaning towards good. The exterior, interior, dashboard, navigation, lighting, and overall number of features are well done.


However, there are some odd decisions. For instance, why add configurations for manual transmission when the interior is designed for an automatic gearbox? This immediately stands out when driving from the interior and disrupts the impression.


The mod is good at its core, but it lacks refinement in the details. If the configurations are aligned with the interior and such inconsistencies are removed, it will be a truly strong piece of work.

The mod is great. It's well designed both outside and inside, the dashboard and interior are pleasant, and driving from the cabin is especially enjoyable. There are many configurations, body kits, and opening elements. At times, it even reminds me of the Panamera — especially with the overall style of the interior and the Porsche atmosphere. It drives nicely and looks high quality. I will definitely keep it in my collection.

AI works wonders)) Chat GPT on the paid plan in Work mode, and sometimes in regular chat, if you don't need to heavily modify the mod, it handles well.

there isn't a single .dae body in the mod. Instead of a proper 3D model, there are only:
r34.dts — ~64 MB
BigEminemMODEL.dts — ~17 MB wow))) Geniuses, damn))

from idea to virtual implementation)

One of the best car mods for BeamNG.drive that I've been using for more than one version.


Skoda Superb here truly feels like a complete car, not just a pretty 3D model. The body and interior, dashboard, lights, animations, gearboxes, and engines are well made. The car drives nicely, feels right in terms of weight and suspension, and there's no sense of a toy or an unfinished mod.


A separate plus is the number of details and interactivity: pre-facelift and facelift, different configurations, numerous setups, opening elements, functional mirrors, rearview camera, control animations, and interior elements. All of this doesn't come off as a set of features just for the sake of it — the mod is genuinely convenient to use constantly.


I tested previous versions even before the update to 0.39, and the quality of the mod has been consistently high. Version 1.5 has become even more polished and better adapted to the current BeamNG.


In my opinion, this is exactly the level you want to see from a good car mod.


10/10.

For now, probably the highest quality Gazelle

Very sturdy Vesta and one of the best implementations of this car for BeamNG. The exterior and interior are nicely done, the suspension feels lively, there is a decent set of configurations, and overall the car really resembles the Vesta, not just a body on someone else's physics.


However, during operation, quite a few minor issues came up, so I made significant improvements to the mod for myself: fixed the tachometer and its correspondence to real RPMs/cutoff, removed the glass fogginess, adjusted the dashboard lighting, exhaust, sports calipers, default steering assistance, and oil starvation during braking. I also refined the engines and turbo configurations to make everything run and feel more adequate.


There are still some separate moments like multimedia and some minor features of the configs, but the base itself is very good and rewarding for improvement. If it weren't for the rear suspension, it would be a 10 out of 10)


In its original form — a good mod. After a little tweaking — it's really great. 9/10.

VAZ-2104 / 2105 / 2107 is one of the best mods for the classic cars in BeamNG. Even in its basic form, the car is very lively: the body, interior, suspension, and road behavior are well represented, with functional interior elements, opening parts, various engines, and configurations.


What I especially like is that the mod is well-suited for further modifications. After adjusting the transmission, fixing some minor details in the interior, and adding more interesting configurations, the car becomes even more impressive — the classic starts to feel not just like a mod, but like a full-fledged project that you genuinely want to customize for yourself.


There are some rough edges, which is normal for such a large mod, but the foundation is very strong. The atmosphere of the old VAZ is conveyed excellently: both externally and in terms of the driving experience.


For me — it's the top of the top among mods for domestic classics. And after carefully fine-tuning some aspects — it’s one of those cars that you want to keep in the garage permanently.


10/10. A classic that you want to not just drive, but constantly refine and build in your own style.

Volvo S60/V60 P3 — a solid, sturdy mod without unnecessary showiness. The car is made neatly and cohesively: pleasant exterior, decent interior, good materials, its own sounds, functional dashboard, navigation, lights, mirrors, and opening elements. Plus, there are as many as 35 configurations, a bunch of wheel options, and quite a wide customization of the interior — there’s plenty to build a Volvo to your liking.


What I especially like is that the mod doesn’t feel like an empty beautiful shell. It’s simply enjoyable to drive: the calm civilian character of Volvo is well conveyed, and the different versions of S60 and V60 allow you to choose either an ordinary everyday car or something more interesting.


The most noticeable downside for me is the lack of proper animation for the manual transmission. There is a manual gearbox, but the lever in the cabin doesn’t respond to shifts, and after mods with full animation, this stands out. Moreover, the automatic here, on the contrary, has been refined: the author improved its shifting logic, and on the facelifted versions, paddle shifters were added.


But this is a drawback, not a reason to dismiss the mod. Everything else is assembled quite well, without any critical flaws.


Just a good Volvo. Not “wow, everyone download it urgently,” but a reliable 8/10: installed, drove around — and you don’t want to delete it. If only the manual lever were animated, it would be even better.

This is a car with charisma. The 1967 Chevrolet Impala is one of those cases where just cruising around the map is already interesting. A long hood, chrome, a huge body, an old American interior — it doesn’t try to be the perfect sports car; it doesn’t need to be. It has a different talent: creating an atmosphere.


And the mod itself doesn’t kill this atmosphere. The body and interior are well crafted, the engine bay, PBR materials, dashboard, pedals, and gear lever are animated, the mirrors and lights work, and the body elements open. There are 13 configurations, custom wheels and skins, and version 1.1 has already been updated for BeamNG 0.39.x.


But the dry listing of features isn’t the main thing here. The main thing is you get in, start it up, and you already want to drive somewhere at night on a long American highway. And it’s a crime to do this without the right music: Kansas — Carry On Wayward Son, AC/DC, Black Sabbath… And if you remember the Winchester brothers, that’s it — the picture is complete.


Moreover, it’s great precisely because it doesn’t require 1000 horsepower and Dragy at every traffic light. You can just listen to the engine, look at that endless hood, and roll wherever your eyes take you. Or you can go all out — after all, this old American metal knows how to turn gasoline into noise, smoke, and good vibes.


Very charismatic and soulful mod. It may not be the most technologically advanced car in the BeamNG garage, but it’s one of those that has its own face. Such cars aren’t deleted after testing — they’re kept for a special mood.


9/10. Carry on, my wayward son… and a full tank.
