Here’s what you need to know about this mod:
VW Meteor – MAN TGX by Matuto 3D for ETS2
The Volkswagen Meteor is a heavy-duty truck launched by Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus (VWCO) in Brazil, and it shares its platform and many components with the MAN TGX, particularly the TGX of the previous generation. This is why many mods for the VW Meteor in ETS2 use the MAN TGX as a base, and the “by Matuto 3D” indicates a specific, high-quality mod creator.
Key Features and Characteristics:
Detailed Model:
Exterior: Matuto 3D is known for creating highly detailed and accurate 3D models. The VW Meteor mod will feature a faithful recreation of the truck’s distinct cabin, headlights, grille, and other external elements.
Interior: The interior will also be highly detailed, replicating the Meteor’s dashboard, seating, and internal cabin features. You can expect animated gauges, pedals, and possibly functional screens.
MAN TGX Base:
The mod uses the MAN TGX Euro 6 as its base (as seen in some mod descriptions). This means it will leverage the robust chassis, engine, and transmission options of the MAN TGX, but with the distinct VW Meteor cabin.
Chassis Options: Typically includes various chassis configurations like 4×2, 6×2, and 6×4, common for heavy haulage.
Engine & Transmission: It will likely feature powerful MAN D2676 engines (rebadged for VW Meteor, e.g., 460 HP, 520 HP, 525 HP) and ZF Traxon transmissions with multiple speed options (e.g., 12-speed, 16-speed).
Realistic Sounds:
High-quality truck mods like those from Matuto 3D often come with custom sound sets, or are compatible with sound mods, that replicate the real-life engine sounds of the MAN/VW trucks, enhancing immersion.
Customization:
Paint Jobs/Skins: Support for various paint jobs, including realistic company liveries (often Brazilian ones) and custom colors.
Accessories: Customization options for external parts like bull bars, light bars, fenders, side skirts, and internal cabin accessories (often compatible with SiSL’s Mega Pack).
Wheels & Tires: Options for different wheel types, hubcaps, and tire designs.
Standalone:
The VW Meteor mod is typically a standalone truck, meaning it doesn’t replace any existing trucks in the game. It will be available for purchase at the Mod Dealer or a specific truck brand dealer in the game.
