<<<IMPORTANT!>>> Before loading the truck into a race, make sure Reflections under Options>Graphics>Hardware Options is unchecked. Due to its high face and vertice count, leaving this option on will bring up an error message should you try to load it.

This .pod file contains one truck: the 2001 BIGFOOT Super Duty replica low vertice version. This truck is the result of approx. one month of hard work, so if you plan to use it for anything else, at the very least mention me in your readme file as the original creator. All 3D meshes within this pod, except for parts of the engine and axles, are completely scratch-built. Original engine is by ZOtm_bigDOGGe, and is heavily modified. The axles are slightly modified versions of the MTM2 stock axles.
