Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

[REL] Utility 2000R [1.4.1 30/04/2025]

Description:
This mod adds a 1988 Utility 2000R 40' x 96" reefer trailer. It features an animated Thermo King Super II refrigeration unit, advanced coupling, and full use of the trailer paintjob system's current feature set.

In v1.1+, this mod also adds a 28' variant as well as double and Rocky Mountain double configurations.

Wheels
This mod is compatible with my wheel pack. It's not required, but if it is installed with higher priority than the trailer, it will use the Goodyear G314 285/75R24.5's. The painted-corner variant uses two-hole steel wheels, and the stainless-corner variant uses polished aluminum wheels.

------

Here's another trailer project I started not too long ago. It's a 1988 Utility 2000R 40'x96" with a rollup door and non-sliding spring suspension – pretty much the antithesis of the current selection of reefer trailer mods. It should be pretty handy for local and regional service. I'm trying to keep the poly count and texture space under control so that this one can be a traffic model as well ...and to see how close I can get to SCS-level wizardry. :lol:

The reefer unit hasn't progressed beyond the initial mock-up stage yet. This will eventually become a Thermo King Super II, hopefully with a surprise or two.

I think the only tricky bit left at the back is the pintle.

In this last shot, you can see some of the high-poly geometry that I'll be trying to bake into normal maps later.

I've put your Fontaine Phantom flatbed trailer into the AI traffic in my sim and they look just as nice! Looking forward to this one. *thumbsup*

ShirBlackspots: I'll wager there are few old liveries that will look pretty good on this. ;)

I'm really happy to see you guys excited for this. There are one or two things I have planned for this one that I'm pretty excited for (if they work). For now, here's a start on the reefer unit itself – a Thermo King Super II.
