This is a brutal truck. It looks the part and drives like a maniac. Three tires versions to choose from. And you can add a snorkel, garage crate for garage points, roll bar or toolbox with repair points. The texturing on the truck looks really good, giving the truck a nice aggressive look. The baja tires are best on hard surface, all terrain tires are a good balance between mud a hard surface handling, tractor tires have the best grip in the mud but worse grip on hard surface.
SoD did a good job on this mod and you will not be disappointed when you download this.
If you download the zip open it and go to ST14 – SoD dodge ram 1500\Media\textures\trucks\SiD dodge ram paint jobs\ to see three paintjobs by SiD. Availiable are Rusty, Digital Camo and Two Tone Black. Copy the files to SteamApps\common\Spintires\Media\textures\trucks\SoD-1999-dodge-ram-1500 and clear cache to make the new skin active.
Package updated with a xml that included the Kamaz, Zil and Ural tires sets.

Nov 18, 2014 7:22 amWould it be possible to make a white paint job for this truck? But a very good mod!

Nov 18, 2014 8:28 amYou could do it yourself with a bit work. Why not try it?

Nov 19, 2014 11:47 ammaybe next update (far from now though) there are some texture templates in the trucks texture folder, you’re more then welcome to use the black and red skin as a starting point if you like.

You probably need to upgrade that mod. Relatively easy.

Jan 22, 2015 4:56 pmHas anyone updated this mod yet? The ’99- body style is my fav of all the Rams.. and it’s OPness is perfect for my impatient nature. 🙂 I would do it myself, but I don’t have the time right now. Maybe tonight if nobody else does…

Jan 22, 2015 10:33 pmI have edited this mod to (hopefully) work properly. I am away from my gaming PC right now, so I cannot test it. If there are any issues let me know and I will look through and attempt to fix them. 🙂

Jan 22, 2015 10:47 pmBloody hell… I forgot to link the dropbox… feel free to moderate the crap out of this triple post…

Jan 23, 2015 7:12 amThanks for doing this. I’ll check it out asap!
Rav3n
Jan 23, 2015 7:27 amI can confirm, it works awesomely. A couple things to note about this truck: It’s very powerful. In 1+ gear it tries to wheelie. It is also extremely light, which causes it to bounce a bit. Finally, the snorkel does basically nothing lol. With a bit of tweaking it is my favorite modded truck so far. 🙂 Even beats out SID’s ’68 Blazer. If I can get permission, I would try to tweak it a bit and upload a more ‘balanced’ version of it for the challenge-seekers. 🙂

Jan 23, 2015 8:11 amI uploaded the repack file now. Only thing that i needed to do was the windows. They are now transparent again. Thanks again. And if you go on the Oovee you can send SID a pm.

Jan 24, 2015 12:09 amAlright. I thought the black painted version of the truck was supposed to have limo tinted windows. Also, I spaced fixing the other skin/textures so if you want I will attempt to fix them aswell tonight or tomorrow.

Jan 24, 2015 10:12 pmokay, so i might just be stupid, but how exactly do I get this truck in game? and which vehicle does it replace?

Feb 06, 2015 6:28 amI do apologize for bothering , if I am , and please direct me to another thread if there is one. My son loves and plays the game adn recently watched a youtube video about this truck. I’ve downloaded the files from the URL on the youtube video, but I can’t seem to locate them. Elite Unzip doesn’t show files when I open it … anything I’m doing wrong aside from being inept and rutarded?
I would appreciate any help. thank you ! 🙂
Steven
Feb 06, 2015 6:34 amI’m attempting to download and install this truck, but it’s not going well. I’m looking for a little assistance. I have downloaded the truck mod from the URL, but the Elite Unzip doesn’t show any files. I’ve never worked with Elite Unzip before, so maybe I’m just naive.
However, do I need to download or install anything else before hand? My son plays the game and watched a youtube video with the truck and would like to play with it. Any help is much appreciated ! 🙂 Thank you.

Nov 28, 2015 10:49 amI like the look and feel of this truck, especially the sound, but the gear ratio on automatic relegates it useless. Even on the flattest of off-road surfaces with no mud or rocks that any 4 x 4 should easily fly over, it goes for about 5 feet, then tries to shift into 2nd, then stalls. Repeat. Unless I’m on a paved road. I have to be in 1st constantly, and then I’m crawling which takes hours to get anywhere.
I’ve noticed this on other mods as well. Many of these trucks are nowhere near accurate representations of their RL counterparts. They should have no trouble reaching respectable speed on flat and even moderately sloped terrain. This one goes, stalls, goes, stalls, goes, stalls. It’s pointless in anything other than 1st and manual unless you are on a paved road. Too bad, as I really want to use this.
Yes, I have the parking brake off.
@trent: have you tried using JSGME?

Feb 14, 2016 3:08 amHow do I install trucks into multiplayer? Without using steam. If there is any way.
