Southern Mudding nitrous customization
Nitrous installs in the customization garage on pickup trucks only — it adds a bottle in the bed, shows a readout by your speed, and recharges after each burst.
The September 25, 2026 update added the most requested feature in months: nitrous customization for pickup trucks. You install it in the customization garage, it shows up as a physical bottle in your truck bed, and it gives you a rechargeable speed kick while driving.
Here is the whole system in plain language: what the update said, how to install it, how to use it without wasting the bottle, and the limitations people keep asking about.
What the September 25 update actually added
The official update notes (from the game's Roblox description) list, in order:
- New Nitrous Customization for Pickup Trucks — "Add it in the customization garage."
- A new pickup truck
- A new UTV
- New LED whip lights
- Bug fixes and smaller changes
That is the authoritative list. Anything else you see floating around about this update is either a later patch or community speculation.
How to install nitrous
- Take a pickup truck to the customization garage.
- Open the parts list and find the nitrous option — it reads as a simple enable/disable choice, not a tuning slider.
- Equip it. There is no exotic requirement beyond being in a pickup; community footage shows it applied to ordinary trucks minutes after the update.
- Look in the bed. Installing nitrous puts a physical bottle in the back of your truck. Some builds also give it a folding cover.
- Check your HUD. Once equipped, a "nitrous" readout appears next to your speed gauge, so you always know the charge state before you need it.
How to use it (and not waste it)
- Trigger it while already moving. The boost reads as a short, hard kick — it is a burst, not a permanent speed upgrade.
- It depletes and recharges. The bottle empties as you use it and refills over time. Treat each use as a limited resource.
- Save it for the moment that matters. The clearest footage of nitrous winning races shows players holding it until they need one decisive push, not spamming it at the start line.
- It clears a bad line in mud too. A burst can be the difference between walking a truck out of a pit and calling it stuck.
Current limitations (verified)
| Question | Answer as of September 30, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Which vehicles can equip nitrous? | Pickups only — the update title says "for Pickup Trucks" |
| Can the new UTV take it? | No. Community footage tested it and the option is not available there |
| Does it recharge on its own? | Yes — it is a rechargeable burst, not a one-shot item |
| Can you remove it later? | It is a normal customization; change it any time in the garage |
| Is it pay-to-win? | It gives a timed speed burst that runs out; it is not a permanent stat upgrade |
Where nitrous fits into your build
Nitrous is the top layer of a truck build, not the foundation. The community's fastest builds stack it on top of engine and turbo upgrades — a stock motor with a bottle is still slow, it just runs out of puff faster. Build the truck first (see the vehicle guide), then bolt the bottle on.
