American Truck Simulator Adds Ford Cars In Road Trip DLC

SCS Software released the paid DLC "Road Trip: Ford" for American Truck Simulator on September 30. The add-on adds four Ford vehicles to the truck simulation: the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback, 2023 Ford F-150, 2023 Ford Bronco, and 1998-2012 Ford Crown Victoria, all customizable and drivable in the game's Convoy co-op multiplayer mode. The DLC also introduces Atlas, a tourism navigation feature. Tourist Boards placed across the map let players select a location from a UI and receive GPS guidance; upon arrival, nearby exploration spots appear, and conquering them yields region-themed postcards that can be displayed on a car's dashboard. Tourist Boards launch in seven states, with more planned for later updates. The DLC costs 1,080 yen and includes Japanese language support. A same-format DLC, Road Trip: RAM & Dodge, is planned. The base game is 75 percent off at 695 yen in a Steam sale running until October 1.
