The brabant runabout was sold as an attempt to replace the aged model t trucks still found on most farms in 1946. Farmers were looking to upgrade not replace however and sales ended in 1947 with under 100 units being sold.

Despite having similar driving performance the runabout was a custom design underneath. The chassis would get one notable update with the transverse leafs being swapped for two longitudinally on each axle. Modern design allowed for a 20 horsepower engine to be reduced from the original 2.9 liters to only 2.1 while retaining the same torque output. Top speed and gear count remained the same however the tire width slightly grew because beamng kept blowing out the model t sized tires. Finally a set of weak drum brakes were chosen over a transmission brake.

Dont worry about overheating the engine is a borderline air pump
There is no revlimiter. Keep it under 2300
Mod does have inside cam
Truck shakes a lot. This is borderline a bug but is a feature.
