This mod do not modify any truck or addon. Just trailers
Do you ever ask why your little K1500 can haul a oil tank trailer like is nothing?
Well turns out that every trailer (except the scout ones) are very light. so i add a bunch of weight to every trailer.
Now if you are going too fast and then you stop or turn without slowing down, the trailer will drag you out and posibbly tip the truck or worse.
You will need a super heavy truck to move super heavy cargo with ease, or even to be able to move it.
Version 1.0:
Added weight to trailers
Disclaimer: all the values are approximated, said values come from google and my own knowledge.
Scout trailers: weight unchanged
trailers: from 500 kg-1.500 kg to 7.100 kg
Semi trailers: from 2.000 kg to 9.100 kg
Heavy contruction equipment: from 12.000 kg to 36.200 kg (aprox)
oil tank trailer: from 2.500 kg to 17.100 kg (10.000 kg are from 12.000 L of fuel)
oil tank semi trailer: from 7.000 kg to 26.100 kg (17.000 kg are from 20.000 L fuel)
oil tank heavy semi trailer: from 10.500 kg to 40.000+ kg (30.000 kg are from 38.000 L of fuel)
Service trailer: from 1.500 kg to 9.100 kg, repair parts and wheels increased (X2)
Oil rig semi trailer: from 12.000 kg to 42.000+ kg
M747 semi trailer: from 500 kg to 9.100 kg
Coiled turbine semi trailer: from 10.000 kg to 35.000 kg
Version 1.1
Fixes to the oil rig semi trailer:
-added wheels on the center (if your trailer leg bugs out, they will help supporting the falling trailer, and give you a chance to correct it with a heavy crane)
-added more force to the legs (now they will be able to lift the trailer)
Added more force to the cranes (all of them) 3 times more aprox (credist to ryankary12 for the big crane force values)
Added more weight to the big cranes from 2.000 kg to 10.000 kg, now the trucks shouldn’t move as much when moving trailers
Installation and backup guide:
Make sure, you have WinRAR installed! No installation with subscribing as with all mods around here, that change base game files.
Manual installation:
Download the file
Navigate to the path you have SnowRunner installed to
Follow the folders: SnowRunneren_uspreloadpaksclient
Create a folder called ‘Backup’ to save your original file.
Copy the file ‘initial.pak’ into that Backup folder. Now you are ready to install the mod!
Open the original file ‘initial.pak’ with WinRAR.
Open the mod-file ‘(mod file)’ with WinRAR, as well.
Now drag and drop the [media]-folder from the mod-zip-file into ‘initial.pak’.
The files in ‘initial.pak’ will be overwritten.
Close everything and you can start playing.
If you don’t like it and want to revert: Navigate back to your installation folder and delete the edited ‘initial.pak’. Then copy the original file from your ‘Backup’-folder, and everything is vanilla again.
(Instructions copied from Fuel capacities based on real data mod page)
Since the weights are up i recommend the MOAR POWAAAAAAA mod, and the Fuel capacities based on real data mod (you are going to need the extra fuel).
This three mods combined add a little more complexity to the haul business and also ease some mechanics that are not really fun (not for me at least) like the constant need to check the fuel.

To use in combined with Actual weight for trailers.
The same as the other mod, the cargo was heavily underweighted, not as much as the trailers but lighter nontheless.
2 or 3 cargos remain unchanged because they have a reasonable weight
don’t be surprised explorers can’t move loaded trailers at all on any terrain other than asphalt
Bags full of cement and bricks are actually pretty heavy
Version 1.1
Rolled metal: up to to 8.000 kg, was 2500 kg (Please note that trucks usually carry at most 3 rolls)
Drill: down to 10.000 kg, was 16.000 (a bit overweighted)
Version 1.0
Bags of cement: from 1.500 kg to 4.320 kg (there are 144 bags of cement, 30 kg each)
Barrels (oli/fuel/etc): from 1.000 kg to 4.000 kg (16 barrels of 250 kg)
Big drill : from 8.000 kg to 16.000 kg (i think it’s overweighted, may correct later)
Bricks: from 1.000 kg to 4.500 kg (1920 bricks, 2,34 kg each)
Concrete blocks: from 1.500 kg to 5.760 kg (2,4 m3 of concrete)
Concrete slabs: from 3.000 kg to 11.520 kg (4.8 m3 of concrete)
Container: from 2.000 kg per slot to 3.250 kg per slot
Crates (food/parts/ect) : 2.500 kg (unchanged)
Metal planks: from 1.500 kg to 8.200 kg (lots of calculus here, not worth the hussle to write it down)
Metal roll: from 1.000 kg to 2.500 kg to match similars (i actually don’t know what is this cargo)

All .xml edits are done by me. No new textures or meshes are included. These are all in game resources.
I have tested this mod to make sure there are no add-on and trailer collision issues, however, some very small sacrifices had to be made for functionality. In order to allow for more room for add-ons on the truck frames, I have forgone the use of the cabin protector in most cases except during the use of 5th wheel hitches. The Russian crane is now used on almost every truck due to it’s compactness and ease of mounting position. When loading metal planks onto the flatbed with the crane mounted on the rear, you’ll notice that the cargo cannot be positioned properly on the bed, however, it is still able to be packed, unpacked and unloaded. Also, in order to offset the weight of the crane being moved to the rear of the trucks, I have reworked the suspension. I never liked how stiff of a ride the trucks were. Now they have a little more suspension flex and travel. This should make the ride easier on and off road. A couple of suspension upgrades have been added to assorted trucks.
I debated whether to add my scout vehicle modifications, but I noticed that most people were using their own suspension settings for the vehicles they liked. If it is requested enough, I will upload reworked scout vehicles to include the ability to haul medium sized trailers, have more repair and fuel add-ons (depending on the vehicle) and sensibly upgraded wheel choices.
Lastly, I fixed a couple of nitpicks I had with the winch sockets not lining up with the trailer tongues, added diff-lock to the Royal BM17, and improved the power and reach of the Russian mini crane.
The latest update implements custom truck names to differentiate my modded trucks from others in the store. You will see my logo, “JjJ” at the end of the truck name now.
***I’ve included a manual install only option for those that want to use the files as they see fit. Replace game files at your own risk and always back them up first.**

This Mod makes all of the axles of the Western Star 6900 TwinSteer Truck steerable and thus improving the manoeuvrability greatly on this huge truck.
Note: The effects are more noticeable in game than in the screenshots!
The two axles at the far end of the truck have been made steerable, thus improving the manoeuvrability of this truck greatly.
This also serves as an example on how to do so. Feel free to try it with other trucks by changing the respective values.
To install:
– Download and unzip the file
– Go to your game directory (i.e. Epic LibrarySnowRunneren_uspreloadpaksclient) and open “initial.pak” with WinRAR (it’s free)
– Go to the right place by doubleclicking on the “[media]” folder, followed by the “classes” folder and then again on the “trucks” folder that are shown within WinRAR
– Drag & Drop the file “ws_6900xd_twin.xml” you downloaded into WinRAR and confirm the action with “OK” in the upcoming window without changing any values. It will overwrite the original file
– Close WinRAR
