Make sure your version as the latest update from Giants website ,,, so to be sure.

Also, I did download a truck mod that was never in my store and did upload 3 of different website so to see if it was a mod problem. It was not ,, the solution was that I didnt have a MR mod so to make it appear in my store. Then got the MR mod and the truck appear and work fine after ...

If you bought your game as DVD or as download for Windows, you will get your update here: http://www.landwirtschafts-simulator.de ... hp?lang=en (scroll down to FS 2013). Steam version and Mac download version from Giants will be updated automatically, the Mac AppStore version has to be updated at the AppStore.
Can you give a link to a mod you can't find in your game? Is the missed mod in your mods-folder as a zip-file (not extracted)?

Also, make sure that your mod doesn't a) come as a .RAR file and/or b) contain several zip files within the archive. You will need to unzip and then copy those internal zip files to your mods folder.

On a couple of cases, an author started off his/her (there...happy?) file name with a number, which doesn't compute with FS. I just rename the file and stick a letter in the front.
