Review: The Ashok Leyland 1618 Mod Bussid is widely considered the “King of Long Haul” in the Indian trucking community. While other trucks struggle with heavy loads on steep hills, the 1618’s high-torque engine ensures you can climb the toughest roads in the Sumatra Map without stalling.

This specific mod, created by the legendary Team KBR, features the modern BS6 Cabin Design. It captures every detail of the real-life truck, from the “U-Truck” front grill to the realistic air-brake sounds.

Driving Guide: Mastering the 1618 on Highways

The Ashok Leyland 1618 Mod Bussid behaves differently than cars or buses. It simulates a heavy commercial vehicle.

1. Gear Shifting Strategy: Unlike the Scorpio or Fortuner mods, you cannot accelerate quickly in high gears.

Start in Gear 1: Always start from a standstill in 1st gear to avoid stalling.
Hill Climbing: When driving on the “Padang – Bukittinggi” route, keep the truck in Gear 2 or 3. If you shift to 4th gear on a steep hill, the RPM will drop, and the truck will roll back.

2. Cornering Stability: This mod has a high center of gravity. Do not take sharp turns at speeds above 60 km/h, or the truck will tip over. Use the retarder brake (engine brake) before entering a curve to stabilize the chassis.

Ashok Leyland 1618 vs. Tata 1109: Which is Better?

Many players ask which Indian truck mod is better. Here is a quick comparison:

Ashok Leyland 1618: Best for Long Highways and Heavy Cargo. It is faster and more stable at high speeds. It has a modern BS6 look.
Tata 1109: Best for City Traffic and narrow village roads. It is smaller, easier to turn in tight spaces, but has a lower top speed.

If you want to do long deliveries across the map, the Ashok Leyland 1618 is the superior choice. If you prefer short city runs, choose the Tata.
