Truck mods are the easiest way to change how American Truck Simulator feels behind the wheel. They swap in different cabs, engines, sounds and customization options, so you can park the stock lineup and build a rig that matches the brand or era you actually want to drive.
When picking one, check the game version it targets, whether it stands alone or needs a base truck already installed, and how deep the customization goes. If you run other truck or trailer mods, also look for load order notes or known conflicts before you commit a save to a new rig.
1. Scania Pack – Standalone Truck Collection
This pack drops a standalone set of Scania trucks into the game without touching anything else you have installed. The update round focused on fixing paint job glitches, addon conflicts and engine sound issues, plus restoring a few gadgets that had gone missing.
It suits players who want Scania trucks without rebuilding their mod list, since it runs independently and keeps backward compatibility with an older game version alongside the current one.

2. Scania Mega Pack Free
This is a large Scania collection built around the S Series, the R Series and the R Series 2025, with a huge file count behind the visual and mechanical options. Expect updated paint jobs, models, textures and materials, plus extra engine choices and new engine sounds.
Quick Job trucks get the update too, and the mod is unlocked, so it’s a good pick for anyone who wants one big Scania pack instead of hunting down separate truck mods.

3. RSH Mack R Rigid Addon – Tanker Body
This addon turns Harven’s Mack R into a rigid truck by adding a tanker body with a trailerless cargo trailer setup, so it can haul tanker loads without hooking up a separate trailer.
It requires Harven’s Mack R to be installed, and the tanker loads themselves come from SWR Tankers by SWR Customs. Load order matters here: put the rigid addon above SWR Tankers, which should sit above Mack R by Harven. Repainting the tanker body means reskinning its texture by hand.

4. Mack Pinnacle Granite Pack
This pack covers two Mack models at once, the Pinnacle and the Granite, built with reference to the real 2005 to 2012 trucks. Customization runs deep, with more than ten bumper options and around 28 chassis configurations spread across both trucks.
There’s also a dumper version and a Pony Heritage trailer included, which makes this a solid choice for players who want a heavy-duty Mack with real work-truck variety rather than just one cab style.

5. Freightliner Coronado – Classic Semi with Powerful Engines
This Coronado mod is built around fixes and practical upgrades: corrected dashboard lights, a fixed right hood mirror camera, and a rear camera that works without toggling the F2 mirror view. It also adds more powerful engines and a larger fuel tank.
It comes with an owned trailer that includes its own skin and loading screen, plus two ready-made skins and a template for custom paint jobs. You can install the update over a previous version without selling your truck first.

6. Peterbilt 352 – Customizable Classic Truck
The 352 is a detailed take on the classic cabover, offered with 26 chassis options covering 4×2, 6×4, 8×4 and 8×2 setups, plus four cabin choices including the 63 inch, 63 inch with back glass, 90 inch and 110 inch.
It works with SISL’s Mega Pack and supports DLC Cabin Accessories, and it ships with a skinpack and XML template so custom paint work has a starting point. Engines and sounds are credited to Robinicius, which fits a build that leans hard into accessories and lighting options.

7. Kenworth W900 Series
This W900 mod leans into the long-haul image of the truck, with a 72-inch Flat Top and an Oil Sleeper variant, configurable rear windows, and both W900B short-hood and W900L long-hood chassis options.
Wheelbase choices run from 244 to 305 inches, and there’s a lowered chassis setup for air suspension builds. A custom light pack with adjustable brightness and a steering wheel pack round out the detail work, and it’s built to play well with realistic physics and transmission mods.

8. BiggDogg Pete 379 – Classic Peterbilt 379 EXHD Glider
This glider covers Peterbilt 379 EXHD model years from 1987 to 2003, with a wide spread of custom parts so each truck can be configured close to how the real year-specific trucks looked.
Engine, transmission and chassis options give it real build depth, and paint jobs are included. It may conflict with Viper’s Peterbilt 389 and other 379 EXHD mods, so check your load order if you run either.

9. Western Star 4900 Lite Edition – Classic Standalone Truck
This is a standalone Western Star 4900 built with a focus on the classic American trucking look rather than a long accessory list. It comes with a 68-inch high roof sleeper cabin and a 6×4 chassis.
The interior keeps things simple with working gauges and basic accessories, stock bumpers and mirrors, and standard lights and wheels, so it suits players who want a clean, straightforward truck without digging through menus.

10. Edison L Series – L500 and L750 Daycab Logging Truck
The L Series brings the Edison L500 and L750 into the game as daycab logging trucks, available in tandem or tridem configuration for heavier timber loads.
The model comes from Daramin 3D Design Studios based on trucks provided by Edison Motors, and it was brought into the game by HFG. A recent update added interior shadows to the cab, a nice touch for a truck built around hauling rather than highway miles.

Tips for trucks mods in American Truck Simulator
- Match the mod’s listed game version to your own before installing, since truck mods built for one patch range don’t always behave correctly on another.
- Check whether a mod is standalone or needs a base truck or addon mod installed first, and grab those dependencies before loading it in.
- Pay attention to load order when a mod mentions it, especially with tanker or trailer addons that stack on top of a base truck.
- Keep an eye out for conflict warnings between similar truck mods, particularly ones built on the same base model or glider kit.
- Back up your save before adding or updating a truck mod, so you can roll back quickly if something behaves oddly on the road.
