Top 33 best american truck simulator mods [2023]

6 Western Star 57X

If you love combining functionality with a visually appealing color scheme, then you should seriously think about purchasing the Western Star 57X. While you can always pick a simplistic color palette, the unique paint job for this vehicle allows you to match the colors of your truck and trailer, thus creating a stunning combination for photo mode.

Furthermore, this truck is also upgraded with modern technology, such as a blind spot sensor, GPS, and digital speedometer. Sadly, while this truck does seemingly have everything on offer, remember that it only has a maximum horsepower of 600, meaning that you’ll be trading some speed for functionality.

4 SiSL’s Trailer Pack USA

Created By:
SiSL

It’s clear that those who dedicate themselves to a game like American Truck Simulator are looking for the most realistic experience possible, so it’s no wonder that they want as many real-world elements in there are possible. Adding them to the world is one thing, but editing all the hundreds of trailers in the game is quite the feat.

Nevertheless, it’s what SiSL has done, creating bespoke trailers to feature just about every major brand that is seen on the roads today in the USA. There are trailer packs for a few other regions too, and a version for this game’s sister game, Euro Truck Simulator 2.

2 Sound Fixes

Created By:
YouDriveSafely

Immersion is always the name of the game when it comes to simulators, and one of the best ways to be absorbed into the world is near-perfect sound design. The default sound design in American Truck Simulator is great, but like any game, those who really know their stuff will see all the little ways in which it could be improved.

This mod looks to try and implement many of those improvements for even the smallest sound effects in the game. Things like the sound of the truck’s suspension adjusting, or the sound of refueling. It even adds a seatbelt sound effect when the player first starts up their truck. It’s the tiny details that turn a great experience into an unforgettable one.

13 Motorcycle Traffic Pack

Created By:
Jazzycat

A huge part of what makes American Truck Simulator so engaging to play is the amazing realism. Players will genuinely get immersed as they drive a truck around realistic and fleshed-out landscapes, trying to drive as carefully as possible without getting into any accidents. This makes it important to be smart in traffic, especially since a single lapse in judgment can lead to a horrendous accident.

The variety of the traffic may be decent in the game, but there are times when players want something different after playing for hours on end. This is especially true when it comes to the dearth of two-wheelers in the game. The Motorcycle Traffic Pack allows players to add a bunch of real-life brands into the game that makes for some great eye candy while players are stuck in traffic.

6 Realistic Vehicle Lights

Created By:
Frkn64

Much like the vegetation in the game, the lighting engine in American Truck Simulator is just as good as it needs to be. With so many other parts of the game requiring greater attention, it would be a waste of time and resources for the development team to create a top-of-the-line lighting engine.

The vehicle lights in the game are fit for purpose, but in certain situations, they can be hard to see properly. It makes for awkward times when the law requires a vehicle’s lights to be on in rain, even though they make no noticeable difference to visibility. This mod changes that, massively increasing the quality of vehicle lights, and improving overall visibility at night.

General Provisions

This personal data processing policy is developed based on the requirements of the Federal Law of July 27, 2006. No. 152-FZ «About Personal Data» and determines the procedure for processing personal data and measures to ensure the security of personal data taken by IE Rudakov Evgeny Petrovich (hereinafter referred to as the Operator).  

1.1. The operator sets as its most important goal and condition for the implementation of its activities the observance of the rights and freedoms of a person and citizen when processing his personal data, including the protection of the rights to privacy, personal and family secrets.

1.2. This Operator’s policy regarding the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as the Policy) applies to all information that the Operator may receive about visitors to the https://byjonruda.ru website. 

LIABILITY OF THE PARTIES

4.1. All information materials, including those published on the Site in the public domain, are the intellectual property of the Administrator, or the intellectual property of third parties, permission to use which is legally obtained by the Administrator. Providing the User with access to information materials in the process of using the Site or providing services does not imply permission to copy, distribute these information materials. Violation of the procedure for using information materials implies a unilateral refusal on the part of the Administrator to provide the service without refunding the fee, followed by blocking the User’s account. The administrator reserves the right to imposition a fine for violation of the procedure for using information materials in the amount of 100,000 rubles for each violation.

4.2. The Parties are liable for non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of their other obligations under the Contract in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

4.3. Neither Party will be liable for the full or partial failure of the other Party to fulfill its obligations if the failure is the result of force majeure circumstances, such as fire, flood, earthquake, strikes, and other natural disasters, war, and hostilities or other circumstances, outside the control of the Parties, hindering the implementation of this Contract, arising after the conclusion of the Contract. If any of such circumstances directly affected the failure to fulfill the obligation within the period specified in the Contract, then this period shall be proportionally postponed for the duration of the relevant circumstance.

4.4. The Administrator’s liability is limited to the amount of reward received for each service provided.

5 Peterbilt 579

As there are two different Peterbilt trucks within American Truck Simulator, both vehicles take on distinctive visual appearances. The Peterbilt 579 is focused on providing a modern aesthetic, with a sleek nose and roof that makes the truck look incredibly aerodynamic.

This truck also comes equipped with modern technologies, such as a GPS and a digital speedometer that will safely and easily track your progress while making deliveries. Sadly, while this vehicle certainly provides many advantageous upgrades, remember that you can not carry 8×4 or 8×6 trailers with the Peterbilt 579, severely limiting the amount of cargo this vehicle can deliver.

11 Realistic Rain

Created By:
Darkcaptain

The visuals of American Truck Simulator are impressive, and go a long way in ensuring that players can get immersed in the simple yet engaging gameplay. While many people argue that visual fidelity isn’t as important as engaging gameplay, titles like American Truck Simulator need realistic graphics, since that is essentially what this game requires to enrapture the masses.

A simple weather effect can take the player out of the game if the visual fidelity of this change in weather isn’t communicated properly. Thankfully, with the Realistic Rain mod, anyone who felt like a downpour didn’t really elicit the feeling of what rain actually looks like in real life need not be worried about this issue anymore. It may seem like a simple mod, but fans of ultra-realistic visuals will love what it brings to the table.

5 Real Companies, Gas Stations & Billboards

Created By:
MLH82 & 4of25

For legal reasons, the developers of American Truck Simulator can’t use any real brands for most of their world. They pay for the licenses to real truck brands, as they are the most important part of the game, but for things like haulage companies, gas stations, and in-game adverts, they created fake companies instead.

However, fan-made content gets around this, as the developers aren’t liable for what the fans create. This means that those who want to haul loads with real-world branding and supplies in them can do so with the use of this mod, which changes all the logos on the game to be real-world ones.

8 Freightliner Cascadia

While the Freightliner Cascadia certainly doesn’t live up to the name of a freight liner, it is still an incredibly strong early-game option. Specifically, this vehicle can not carry 8×4 or 8×6 trailers, it has an overall top horsepower of 605 and helpful technology like a built-in GPS.

Furthermore, this truck has a classic aesthetic complete with a curved roof and standard grill, providing a basic vibe that you would expect from a starter vehicle. Overall, this is certainly not the most versatile vehicle in the game, but the high-speed and helpful gadgets found in the Freightliner Cascadia will certainly help you find your footing within the game.

1 SiSL’s Mega Pack

Created By:
SiSL

Full-time truckers are known to have personalized vehicles. Given that it’s where they will be spending most of their day, it can be healthy to make it feel as much like home as possible. There are really no limits on this front.

The game’s default options are good, but it’s nothing like what players would see in real life. This is where the modding community comes in once again, allowing players to add just about anything to their truck. It adds things on the dashboard, around the cabinet, and even lets players put other people or pets inside the truck to travel with the player. Then there are the add-ons, which change the traffic around the truck and add fun things like Star Wars vehicles and passengers.

American Truck Simulator is available now on PC.

2 Western Star 49X

One of the greatest aspects of the Western Star 49X is its capability to hold almost every trailer size in the game, so you’ll be able to carry almost any amount of cargo. Furthermore, this truck also has a maximum horsepower of 605, meaning that you can quickly traverse around the world while making deliveries.

The Western Star 49X also has a bright red paint job and a curved roof that makes the entire vehicle seamlessly glide across any highway. Interestingly, this is one of the few trucks in American Truck Simulator that combines a sleek modern roof with a boxier grill and nose, creating an interesting visual juxtaposition.

12 Montana Expansion

Created By:
xRECONLOBSTERx

The idea of driving in and around various iconic landscapes in America makes for a great time, and players would obviously want a greater number of maps and locations to roam around. The variety in this game may already be impressive, but fans who have invested a ton of hours into this title will always love a change of scenery.

Thankfully, many modders have released unique maps that players can download in the game to great effect. The Montana Expansion is just one example. It allows players to explore this mountain state and roam around the map to great effect, enabling players to have a fresh and engaging time with this title yet again.

8 Enhanced Vegetation

Created By:
Slavsan93

When creating a map as big as American Truck Simulator’s needs to be to provide a realistic trucking experience, some corners are going to have to be cut. In order to save on budget and development time, the assets for much of the game’s vegetation and a tad sub-par in places.

This is understandable, as players are going to be moving past them at high speeds, so they don’t need to be very detailed to look acceptable. It’s not like a farming simulator, where it needs to be perfect. That said, players who like everything to be perfect have taken it upon themselves to make the world look a bit prettier. It’s the perfect kind of mod, as it showcases the community doing a job the development team didn’t have the time for.

7 Longer Yellow Lights

Created By:
Ogg Vorbis

Those unfamiliar with driving trucks in the real world may fail to realize just how different from other vehicles they can be. One of the major differences is how slowly they pull off from a full stop, or the slow rate at which they decelerate. The consequences are that players pass a traffic light on yellow, but it turns red before they fully cross, leading to a fine.

To relieve some of this frustration, modders have extended the time for which lights remain yellow. Increasing it from 2 seconds to 4.5 seconds. This gives players a little extra leeway with traffic lights and will lead to a lot less unnecessary expenditure in the form of fines.
