![Swap Main Ride [Enhanced] V1.0](https://gta5mod.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Swap-Main-Ride-1024x576.png)
Ever wished Michael’s Tailgater would vanish into a fireball of mediocrity and be replacefwith your own fully-kitted Sentinel Classic?
This mod does exactly that!
Swap Main Ride lets you override the default personal vehicle of each protagonist with a fully customized ride of your choosing.
Important:
This mod was developed exclusively for Enhanced (Gen9). No testing has done on the Legacy version of GTAV as of now.
Feature list:
Toggle mod on/off;
Set current vehicle as main ride;
Spawn main ride with blip;
Revert to original;
Supports vehicle states like doors, windows, lights, and engine;
Installation Instructions:
Install Script Hook V.
Place SwapMainRide.asi in your GTA V main directory.
Load the game; press F7 to open menu (Can be changed in the ini).
SwapMainRide.ini is created upon the mod’s first load.
Requirements:
GTA V (PC version 1.0.335.2 or later).
Script Hook V (latest version).
Known Issues:
– The UI will flicker at times.
– Controls Freeze while UI is open.
– During Character switching, the original vehicle may still show up. It will ‘swap’ as soon as you exit.
Future Plans:
– Logging system
– Vehicle State Persistence
– Better UI Element
– Will make Open Source once I feel it’s mature enough.
