Truck tuning Rig'n'Roll Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
External parts
You can tuning your truck in repair shops on truck stops. Though before you start you have to repair your vehicle, even if it is damaged in minimal degree only - otherwise you won't be able to look at the truck's tuning screen. I'm sure everybody would gloat over, if I'd write down next to these listed below parts where exactly you can purchase them, but it's not possible here - obviously parts assortment changes during the gameplay. These given approximate prices apply to a medium difficulty of a gameplay (trucker), English version of a game and the default truck (Freightliner Argosy) you begin your game play with. Additionally these are parts you can mount only in this default truck. The assortment of components for other vehicles will differ a little, and even prices of identical parts will be different than these presented here. For example, for trucks that have front engines hidden beneath the cowl it will be possible to purchase some hood ornament (statuettes), you can mount on this cowl. For these trucks it also should be possible to buy marker lights, horns or additional mirrors (including electric side mirrors), etc.
Bumper trim Standard, chrome - 652 $ Classic, chrome - 1202 $ Classic, carbon - 1304 $ Teuton, chrome - 1884 $ |
Cabin trim Western - 3480 $ Classic - 1594 $ |
Sun visor Classic, glass - 420 $ Classic, chrome - 710 $ Classic, carbon - 1001 $ |
I strongly advise against buying and installing these sun visors! They shut off the view when you drive using only the internal cam and you'll have problems with reading signs and signboards hanged over the road.
Bug shield Classic, glass - 201 $ Country, chrome - 390 $ Classic, carbon - 433 $ |
Wind deflector Plastic - 361 $ Chrome - 636 $ Carbon - 941 $ |
Chassis Basic - 8690 $ (default part) Red - 9996 $ Yellow - 9996 $ Chrome - 14363 $ Gold - 18861 $ Black - 24520 $ Titan - 28872 $ |

Numbers in engines designations stand for horse power of course.
Booster N20 Aggressor - 1871 $
| Extra tank with extended (double) capacity - 1779 $
|
These are two basic modifications that you should buy as soon as possible. You will appreciate this double capacity tank on longer routes, because of its offered lower frequency of getting off the freeway to refuel your vehicle on the truck stop.
Booster ("afterburner") lets you gain ground on your opponents on the track - it works temporarily, but you can use NITRO time after time, without pauses. Thought it consumes a lot of fuel in a meteoric tempo, so make sure you have enough fuel, before using the booster. If you don't want to be at the mercy of Emergency Road Service you must leave yourself the possibility of getting to the nearest fuel station at least. Use booster only on straight stretches of the road. NITRO accelerates up your default truck to the speed of 112 mph, regardless of the horsepower of mounted engine.
Suspension Spring - 7109 $ (default part) Air Suspension L Class - 8560 $ Air Suspension M Class - 10431 $ Air Suspension H Class - 14363 $ Air Suspension Extra - 17265 $ Electromagnetic - 31905 $ |
Wheels Simple old - 4338 $ (default part) Standard - 7239 $ American - 8545 $ Classic - 9416 $ Liberty - 10286 $ Modern - 10867 $ Gold - 11433 $ Black - 11882 $ Aero - 12318 $ Mag - 13043 $ |
Engine brake - 1857 $ |
Accessories (Safety)
I'd recommend buying (ASAP) a parking cam, which consists of three cameras and a monitor installed in the cab - this system displays situation behind the truck even better and more comfortably than electric side mirrors. You don't have to look around, because the view from the monitor is displayed in two places practically directly in your face, when your eyes still observe the road ahead of you. You can switch between the views displayed by a monitor with a combination of Ctrl + M. | Rear view camera - 3612 $
|
Rain sensor - 406 $
| Headlights sensor - 544 $
|
You should really consider buying these two devices. Headlights sensor which automatically controls the operation of driving lights of your truck has a tendency to turn them on too late and turn them off too early. This sensor turns the headlights on at 10 p.m., and switches them off at 6 a.m. Rain detector works similarly and automatically turns on and off the wipers, but not necessary in the way we like.
Cruise control - 1233 $
| Navigation system (GPS) - 782 $
|
Cruise control is a very useful device that allows the vehicle to drive with a constant speed, regardless to the degree of stoop of the pavement - it lets your fingers rest. And the navigation system (GPS) shows with arrows displayed in the upper left corner of the screen the direction you should choose to get to your target. It is helpful when you're closing to the bigger crossroads, so I recommend buying GPS ASAP.
