✨ Key Features

Adds A21 versions of vanilla vehicles back into the game with visual mod support where possible.
Includes 27 vehicles such as Baja Bug, Box Truck, BRDM-2, Buggy, Charger, Cruiser, Dirt Bike, Duster, GNX, Golf Cart, Hot Rod, Humvee, Junker, LMTV, Marauder, MD-500, MRAP, Nova, Old Semi, Pickup, Rat, SHERP, Stallion, Trophy Truck, UAZ 452, UH-60, Willy Jeep, and Work Truck.
