Is BeamNG's MOST ANTICIPATED Mod Worth $4? - Gavril Scout Van!

[@SimulatorAdventures]

For those wondering about the head tracking camera in this video, I use "Track IR". Specifically TrackIR 5 with Track Clip Pro.

[@_blood_moon_proto_1500]

How does that work anyhows?

[@beamboy07]

is it vr?

@beamboy07 na it tracks ur head movement so if you move ur head to the left it moves it in the game aswell

I was very fortunate to have early access to this mod, and after driving it and recording a showcase before the public release, I can say that this mod is definitely worth it. It's fun to drive, has tons of attention to detail, it's super functional, and so much more that I could ramble on about. It hits all the right spots for a quirky, lore friendly BeamNG vehicle. It feels like a developer designed it!

[@SimulatorAdventures]

Yeah I would have loved to check this out earlier 😭. The van is such a great mod it really could be in the base game, and I love the way it looks!

[@Nitrox_909]

The problem is that you can't have a good price for paid mods if compared to the price of the game. You had to sell map/car for about 0.57 $ which would be a "fair" price

Also why I said why pay for it is because there are always leakers, People simply don't seem to follow regulations and laws put in place and will still go against them.

It kinda makes sense for this to be called a Gavril, because the VW Caddy and the Ford Tourneo share a platform. (Ford Tourneo was built on VWs MQB platform)

[@husky651]

This van in my opinion gets a 5 star crash safety rating cuz it held up strongly even when it crashed into a barrier at 95 mph. Amazing!!

[@baltothewolf]

That van honestly looks like a dev car lol Looks really nice, I would totally look into this if I played beam more haha ps Sliding door is what wins me over

When you pit someone you have to first make contact and then slightly turn into them on the side of the rear bumper or the rear quarter panel to spin them out. Hitting them in the rear doors won’t do anything but cause you to loose control.

[@flopjul3022]

3:30 i have driven VW Caddy's(this mod is heavily influenced by it) and due to it being on the MQB Evo platform its comparable to the VW Golf. I have driven both a manual(1.0L TSI 101hp, 175 N-m/129lbf-ft of torque) and automatic(2.0L TDI 150hp Diesel, 340N-m/250lbf-ft of torque) VW Caddy from the previous generation(the 2015 Facelift) and they drive very nice, not as nice in a small town as lets say a Opel Corsa but comparable to the average mid size European SUV(i.e. Renault Kadjar, Volkswagen Touareg, Opel Grandland....) you really want a diesel if you haul cargo tho and i do prefer an automatic(but thats because i prefer Diesel with an Automatic due to the rpm)

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

I think you meant Tiguan. Touareg is enormous and much larger than a Grandland or Kadjar

[@mertyn5668]

the mod being a gavril/ford still makes sense. the 2023 ford tourneo connect is a vw caddy badged as a ford too, so it still fits

I think LucasBE said they're adding an EV version soon

[@CobnutVTS]

The Caddy is basically a transit connect or whatever, theyre the same van nowadays, look almost identical

[@the_average_juel]

Actually, It's also based on the European version of the well-known Ford Transit Connect, a small van, just one step below the Ford Tourneo, and one step above the Ford Transit Courier.

[@crazygrape1907]

Since Gavril is something like Ford or Dodge, I can totally see the Gavril Scout being a RAM Promaster City.

In my mind putting the Gavril name brand on the car makes quite a bit of sense considering the fact that Gavril is supposed to be a Ford / GM mix in the Beamng universe and as Ford's equivalent to the Caddy, the Transit Connect share pretty much the same platform and look quite identical appart from the styling. thus putting the Gavril brand on a car that is essentially the same as both the Caddy and the Connect is only logical.

[@grantmills4184]

Very thorough review and video, well done really. This is a cool mod and certainly fills a missing niche in the game, however in my somewhat biased opinion it is not worth the money. It is an inherently good mod, but I wouldn't download it myself even if it was free. Reason being, I only like mods that are built from the ground up, engine, suspension design/underside and all. While this mod is very detailed, it is clearly just a Cherrier FCV platform if you look underneath. Still, you could make the case that it's lore friendly, as many European brands do similar cross platforming, IE Renault and Dacia, the Opel Corse/Peugeot 208, etc. Not to mention Daimler/Chrysler in the early 2000's. I'm a stickler with mods, but I still have to commend the creator of course. Lots of cool details and functionality, and really a dev quality vehicle.

[@SimulatorAdventures]

That's fair enough. I love custom engines in modded vehicles and yeah as far as I know this car has the Cherrier engines. It would be nice to see more original content from this mod although LucasBE does plan to update this mod with further things like EV variants at no further cost to the people that bought the original mod.

Sporty variants of vans/minivans I know: Renault Espace MKIV 3.5 V6 - essentially the result to the question: "What happens when we shove a Nissan 350Z engine into a FWD minivan and give it a 6-speed auto" Mercedes R63 AMG - It counts as a Minivan, although Mercedes tried to give it its own class. It has 505 brake HP and does 0-60 in around 5 seconds, which is insane considering it weights 2.3 tons. This and the ML63 are the only AMGs you can get with AWD. Even the basic R-Class does 0-60 in less than 7 seconds. Renault Avantime V6 - A french Two-Door - yes, two doors - Minivan with quite a bit of power from a 207 HP 3.0 V6. Chevrolet HHR SS - It uses the engine from the Cobalt SS, so a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder with around 260 HP. Ford S-Max 2.5 - This is a Ford Minivan with a secret, a 2.5 liter Volvo Inline 5. It sounds great, and it does 0-60 in 7.2 seconds.
