    You aren't legally allowed to sell a mod with real life branding as it goes against copyright laws in many countries.

    depends on countries. Models and mods in a lot of countries legally can under copywrite

    Alright, let's break this down without any sugar-coating. If you decide to slap the name "Nissan" onto your mod—even a fan-made mod for BeamNG.drive—you’re not just playing around in your garage; you’re stepping onto dangerous legal turf. Big corporations like Nissan guard their trademarks like a hawk, and when you go commercial—even partially by charging for version 2.0—that's when they lose any semblance of being "nice" about it.

    Here's the real deal: Using their name without explicit permission is a classic trademark infringement move. The free version might fly under the radar as a fan tribute or parody, but as soon as money enters the equation, you're not just a modder anymore; you're a business in their eyes. That can trigger a cease and desist faster than you can say "corporate overlord," and trust me, these companies don’t take kindly to unauthorized profit off their brand.

    Now, I’m not a lawyer—so take this as a reality check rather than legal advice—but if you value your creative freedom and wallet, you might want to consider either renaming your mod or reaching out for proper licensing. In this day and age, even fan creations can get caught in the corporate crossfire if they step on the trademark turf. So, tread carefully, my friend, because when you're dealing with big business, there’s no such thing as a free ride.

    That doesn't make it right. That is also on a different platform. BeamNG almost got sued by Blue Bird Bus company about 10 years ago just for hosting a free mod.

    How long until possible release? Can we get the 2.3 twin turbo one found in the Aussie Navaras as well. And will it be released on the Forums when complete or mod land

    It will be released here. I never use modland, a lot of stuff there is illegally leaked. Its not going to be released for a bit, I am currently focusing on my maps, and then my Roamer parts pack, but i will come back to this at somepoint.
