[RELEASED] TrailX 250 - double axle car trailer

Do you think you might make an optional length choice to handle 2 pallets?

That would be a nice option, but I don't think I'll do it.. Because in reality, due to regulations, this is the largest size trailer of this style you can get. Once you go larger, it becomes a different style with brakes and sturdier frame etc. Also, in real life the payload of this trailer is not big enough to allow for two pallets. I've always been someone that prefers realism in the game!

Added wheel options!

Standard wheels = modern style steel rims, these are included in the baseprice of the trailer


Option 1: old second hand steel rims with chrome cover, you get 80€ discount


Option2: heavy duty steel rims, additional cost: 100€

Added foliage racks which come with a larger capacity of 3000 litres. However you can't load bulk materials (fertilizer, seeds, grain) but only windrow materials like straw, grass, etc. The bulk materials would fall through the grids in real life. Also, no cover or tensionbelts on this setup. Plan is to also make it accept animals, but I still have to figure out if that is even possible using basegame scripts.



I also did some testing with big bags, and because the trailer is fillable they empty into the trailer once you try to load them. Thanks to Bigfarmer145 for suggesting big bags could cause this kind of conflict! For people who like to transport big bags I have also included a configuration option that is not fillable, which will allow you to transport them.

With the foliage racks installed, you can now transport one pig and three sheep






I might extend the pig capacity to two

Added a few colour options for the shuttering ply that is used in the sides and floor of the trailer, the prices of these colours reflect the difference in quality in real life.

You have cheap ply from the DIY store, which is very dark:


And you have the high quality stuff:

This comes in standard brown or for a small fee you can get it in green aswell.


Right now the trailer is basicly finished, just need to sort out the collisions for the sides and doors and do some final testing.

I think it would be cool for a 3rd option, and that would be the plywood pattern like you see on that crate. Give it a home build look.

I have been looking into that but haven't found an easy way to make this work together with the color configurations. The problem is that vehicle textures are based on a predetermined set of textures which is set by Giants in the basegame. These pallets aren't vehicles so they use a different shader and different textures.

On another note, after taking a break I finally got the collisions to work as they should. Some final tweaking and testing to do, but this thing is nearly complete now. I added another option for the cover, 'invisible cover'. With this option, you can enable or disable filling of the trailer. So if you'd want to transport a big bag you can close the invisible cover and the big bag will not empty into the trailer.

Testing has been completed, the trailer is ready for submission to Giants!

Will this come to consoles? Would definitely like to have it, especially as I actually make this type of trailer myself, except mine are all steel with chequer plate floor

In theory it should be console ready. I tried adhering to all the specific rules for console when building the mod but there could always be a mistake or something I overlooked. If that is the case it will of course be fixed , so yes the intention is to bring it to console!
The mod is now with Giants for testing, it failed the first time but I fixed the problem and it is now back in the queue for testing.

This trailer needs a small tank for herbicide and a wand to spray weeds. That would be awesome.

Hey that's a good idea! I'll keep that in the back of my mind, don't have time for modding right now but next month I'll look into that!

Out now for PC/MAC!

Got it on consoles too. Congrats on the newest release.

Maybe for your next one after the bicycle you could make a handheld pump sprayer for weeds.
