Western Star 57X American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-08-03 03:27	Gentlemen, it has been a pleasure to present to us the first WS 57X at the website. Combining the best of both worlds, with Western Star's X-series lineup and a proven track record for Daimler's Freightliner Cascadia trucks for millions of miles. It's new for 2022 and you should be able to pick up one of the most elegant, most beautifully-designed 57X at the nearest virtual Western Star dealer as of right now. Currently this pic is a placeholder, as mentioned on the main page.
American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-08-02 20:50	The game just got a Western Star 57X added today; added it as a placeholder pic. Think of it as a 2022 Cascadia with WS elements and this is what you get. Montana DLC is landing in 2 days' time.
Mercedes-Benz GLS American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-05-22 02:04	I'm lovin' this type of SUV. We need luxury cars for AI cars, and not just this format. We need: -Tuners (read: Supra, MR2, 370Z, 350Z, Integra) -Basic commuter cars from the 1990s (think of Detroit products like GM and Chrysler) -Exotic cars, which are rare (Bring the Huracan from ETS2 and a GT-R and maybe a Ferrari) -More sports cars, like the Scion FR-S/Toyota 86 model -Older commuter cars from the 70s-80s. You should consult SCS on a AI Vehicle wishlist, and they might work on a reference for these cars. Usually local dealership sites would work for sourcing them. But in schematical terms, it does not make much sense to have it in ETS2 as I don't think it's sold there, at least in this current gen model. Also, Europe has gone sour over massive SUVs like these due to stricter emission regulations. EDIT: It ended up in 1.45, and sadly it's in ETS2. Cristo. I wouldn't say it's improper, as the community and the developers do like to request new stuff every now and then. I mean your comment didn't really make any sense in a superlative state. This is nothing at all like ETS2's regional vehicles; hell, none of the vehicles in ATS are regional-specific. None. Zero. Maybe for farm vehicles, but none for regular cars. Also, you gotta wait a while for the Alabama DLC to materialize. They've got to do the Louisiana and Mississippi DLCs first - that is if they can get the Central U.S. done. And that can take half a decade at best, especially since they're also redoing older maps. You do the math. -- Last edit: 2023-05-18 22:36:46
Mercedes-Benz GLS American Truck Simulator (2016)	RushCars24 2022-05-21 17:41	I wasn't expecting a current generation GLS-Class appeared in one of SCS games after reading the El Paso blog post. Since it's been a long time I'm here, just checked that Spot Racers has one in-game, based on its entry here. To be honest, I found SCS went too early to put the GLS in ATS, it would be better to put it in ETS 2 first, the reasons why? Built plants, why. Considering ATS is currently sets in the U.S. "for now" and knowing the current GLS-Class is manufactured in the U.S., with Thailand and Indonesia being the backups, its appearance in the upcoming Texas DLC update looks an improper surprise, as these were built in Alabama. SCS should've put AI cars based on one of the GM T1XX siblings and one of the U.S. designed Toyota TNGA-F trucks (Tundra and/or Sequoia), as those such vehicles are built in Texas, fitting the DLC hype. Considering we've already seen the GMT900 versions of the Cadillac Escalade and GMC Sierra, I thought of an idea where SCS put like, a newer third gen Tundra and the previous second gen Tundra together as an evolution surprise, the earlier can be seen in both AI and cargo models, same happens if I'd imagine the Tahoe, but the GMT900, K2XX and T1XX guises appeared in the game together, with the T1XX models being serving both AI and cargo. I'd remember on submitting a research tip post to SCS about the GM and Toyota's factories in Texas at their official forums, including current models that were produced in those factories. Probably, the GLS' appearance here is something has to do when the time is for Alabama DLC.
American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-05-19 18:35	A new AI vehicle just popped up on the El Paso screenshots. It's a current-gen Mercedes-Benz GLS. Additionally I sent out replacement pics of the existing cars (Audi, Volvo SUV and a Land-Rover just to name a few) but they're not being accepted at all. The current pics of them are day one pics whilst all of my pics are from the recent versions. 1.43 to be exact. -- Last edit: 2022-05-20 04:37:52
Kenworth T-800 American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-05-10 22:01	It's not showin' up in Update 1.44 either, nor is that ever-so-elusive F-100 truck. Does SCS no longer have changelogs for AI cars? Well, one of them based on this design did make it... but in the form of a storm drainage truck... in update 1.45. Wrecker's still nowhere to be found. -- Last edit: 2022-11-05 23:10:39
Cadillac Escalade American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-05-03 01:01	Main image replacements: imgur.com/5znSeKb imgur.com/Pl0WYAC
Ford Crown Victoria American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-04-23 03:08	Yep. Only shows up in the base game's maps like the limo, garbage truck and streetsweeper. I wish they provided it for other regions, since taxis have been used in urban areas. Knowing SCS, they could consider regional taxi models, like how they did for the police cars. They could also have used other cars like the Prius, etc. and use them in major cities. I wish ETS 2 would feature taxi cars though. But I doubt that.
Subaru WRX STi American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-04-17 04:53	They could have just debadged this car, just like the recent Outback. And it appears they did as of 1.46. -- Last edit: 2022-11-15 18:06:37
Chevrolet Advance-Design Loadmaster American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-04-13 04:56	wine wrote Honestly SCS' choice of AI vehicles for ATS has always been kind of strange to me with many cars that at least according to what I have looked up seem to be rather rare in the USA. I agree. I don't understand why SCS can't just add vehicles that are actually specific in the USA. They could've added a 3rd or 4th generation Silverado instead of an Advance.
Audi A6 American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-04-13 04:46	An Audi A4 would've made more sense to add but ok.
Toyota Prius American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-04-03 20:59	wezymh wrote wouldn't be truly America without a Prius Traffic car. idk why they didn't also put this in euro truck. Now they need to add a Camry or RAV4. Those are also missing.
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-04-03 20:56	Bruisemobile wrote True, but according to IMCDB, its origin is Germany. Well then IMCDB needs to change that, the Verano is manufactured in the USA, not Germany. They need to read Wikipedia.
Honda Accord American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-04-02 05:36	They need to change this so that it 100% resembles the Acura TSX. Seeing a European spec car in the USA is ridiculous honestly.
Hummer American Truck Simulator (2016)	LRF Modding 2022-03-29 20:27	Is this Doug DeMuro's Hummer crushing PT Cruiser? XD
International 9900i American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-03-29 18:38	So, now the pics have been provided, I'll give you the rundown about this truck: You'll need the Cabin Accessories pack as well for navigation because this truck is from the early 2000s, and infotainment systems were hardly a thing for that era. I like this model they made. I hope SCS sees additional old trucks, but given their rarity today, it's doubtful, but if possible they could add as some are still on American roads: -Peterbilt 387 -Mack Vision -Peterbilt 379 -Older Freightliner Cascadia (not the one from 2018 or the newer facelift) -Freightliner Century -Freightliner Columbia -Freightliner Coronado -Freightliner Classic -Kenworth T-2000 Again they're quite a stretch because finding most of them are difficult because of daily usage and being scrapped. I left out cabovers because they have basically been phased out in the U.S. since 2007 afaik. But never say never. As of 1.48 these now spawn in the AI vehicle rotation. -- Last edit: 2023-11-14 04:12:12
Kenworth T-800 American Truck Simulator (2016)	halbtollekreatur 2022-03-29 15:22	It just spawns very rare I think. And you can also see it in the background at one of the loading screens in the game. Maybe it will apear proper in 1.44
American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-03-26 20:17	As of now the new International truck is actually one that's from the 2000s. SCS finally embraced the older truck trend and brought us the International 9900i Eagle. Could SCS bring about old trucks for the first time? EDIT: I have added it but it is currently a placeholder shot. So until someone has proper pics for it, my name will not be credited. -- Last edit: 2022-03-27 01:32:48
Kenworth T-800 American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-03-25 21:26	Because it's not in the game yet. It was shown in WIP pages but I dunno if it'll show up in 1.44 -- Last edit: 2022-03-25 21:29:39
Kenworth T-800 American Truck Simulator (2016)	Nickolay27PM 2022-03-25 00:27	Added and instantly removed?
Kenworth T-800 American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-03-18 02:51	I haven't seen it ingame so far so I dunno, just like the 70s truck that wouldn't spawn at all.
Kenworth T-800 American Truck Simulator (2016)	halbtollekreatur 2022-03-18 01:37	Added in 1.43. Source: forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=1629474#p1629474 -- Last edit: 2022-03-19 20:16:50
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-03-14 21:00	True, and according to the wikipedia it is based on the Opel Astra sedan. So I'll rescind my hasty edit to USA. Too bad Buick nowadays only cares about SUVs - even as gas prices are rising at a frighteningly fast rate.
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	Bruisemobile 2022-03-14 19:37	Vxctec wrote Wrong, the origin is USA, Wikipedia says that the vehicle is assembled in Michigan. True, but according to IMCDB, its origin is Germany.
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	Auto-Friki 2022-03-12 16:01	I don't want to stick where I shouldn't, but some current Buick models are still vehicles that have been based on Opel cars: the current Buick Regal was based on the Opel Insignia; the Buick Encore, in the Opel Mokka; and the one you supposedly say, the Buick Verano, was based on the Opel Astra Sedan.
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-03-12 15:38	Speaking of which, why not a Lacrosse instead of a Verano?
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-03-12 15:37	Bruisemobile wrote Origin is actually Germany. Wrong, the origin is USA, Wikipedia says that the vehicle is assembled in Michigan.
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-03-11 22:24	The Verano is based on the Chevrolet Cruze, but they also used references to the Astra, which would otherwise be Opel-based. Yes it may be built in the U.S. but Buick back then used Opel model architecture. It's nothing like that anymore since GM sold Opel to Groupe PSA (which was also merged to form Stellantis). -- Last edit: 2022-03-14 21:03:42
Buick Verano American Truck Simulator (2016)	Bruisemobile 2022-03-11 20:47	Origin is actually Germany.
Ford S-Max American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-03-09 23:55	Why not ask SCS to add a minivan to this game? There are many choices: -Dodge Grand Caravan -Chrysler Pacifica (not the older crossover SUV) -Toyota Sienna (I hear their recent model is edgy and cool-looking) It would also not hurt to add older vans, considering they added a Chevy Van in the Wyoming expansion. The GM 'Dustbuster' vans is a good start, considering their rarity today. This S-Max they put in is inexcusable. They don't sell it here, and this is one of the two vehicles they have in ATS that don't actually sell in America. -- Last edit: 2022-03-09 23:56:29
Ford S-Max American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-03-08 17:24	Peterkragger wrote Is S-Max even available in US? No, it isn't. SCS needs to remove this. They should replace it with a C-Max instead.
Chevrolet Impala American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2022-02-22 21:17	Most likely so. Unfortunately there isn't a civilian version of this and it only appears in Utah, so sadly I haven't seen one. Frankly regular commuter cars like this give ATS some variety in the traffic. But it's a slow process. It also wouldn't hurt to bring over certain ETS 2 cars over to ATS, as they are also sold in America. For example the Jeep Renegade and the Lamborghini Huracan would be good additions, as would the Mazdas they got.
Chevrolet Impala American Truck Simulator (2016)	Laqueesha 2022-02-22 21:04	Seems they just took a regular civilian Impala and slapped a lightbar and spotlight onto it, as evidenced by the alloy rims. They do have proper rims for it in the game files but its not coded to show up, probably a bug. -- Last edit: 2022-08-21 03:36:20
Blue Bird Vision American Truck Simulator (2016)	Laqueesha 2022-02-19 10:03	Old pic; they patched the bus and it just says 'school bus' on the side now. i.snipboard.io/rXOePM.jpg -- Last edit: 2022-10-11 22:15:23

Tesla Model S American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-02-14 23:38	I do not like Tesla or anything, but they honestly need to replace this with a 2nd generation Model S as this version is outdated. Also, the Tesla Model S is a sedan, not a hatchback.
Subaru Outback American Truck Simulator (2016)	Vxctec 2022-02-13 05:46	wine wrote Wow I did not know that, it is pretty cool they add in new AI cars with such attention to detail. It is possible that now that the new trucks for both ETS2 and ATS have been finished and released the vehicle modelling team might focus a bit on the AI cars for both games. While ETS2 has way more AI models, it needs some newer cars at this point in my opinion. For ATS, I think they lack some cars like the Corolla or the Camry which are very common in there and adding them in would make the game even more immersive. Of course AI mod packs relegate this issue to a large extent but I think it would still be cool to have more vanilla models too. While I can agree with this, the problem is that there are way too many vehicles in this game that are very rare to be found in the USA. For example, there's too much classic cars driving around and the chance of finding them on the real US roads is about 10%. Many ETS2 models have horrible detail, yes, but at least they have cars that are quite specific in Europe. SCS should make it so that classic AI vehicles have a chance of showing up by 25%, and there should be way more vehicles, in fact, a hundred more vehicles that are common in the USA added into ATS. Why no Camry, why no Model 3? Get what I am saying? So yeah. -- Last edit: 2022-03-06 19:39:01

Chevrolet Caprice American Truck Simulator (2016)	Laqueesha 2021-11-26 12:37	Kinda out of place; these were never sold in the US for civilian use to my knowledge. According to the devs, they made this model for the game so it could specifically be used for the Washington State Police's cars.
Ford Crown Victoria American Truck Simulator (2016)	Laqueesha 2021-11-26 08:56	Seems this is a regional car; I've only ever seen it in Nevada in the game.

Chevrolet Caprice PPV American Truck Simulator (2016)	Laqueesha 2021-11-26 08:45	Developers said they made this car specifically for use as the Washington State Patrol variant. State police variants were also made for New Mexico, California, and Nevada, but they do not spawn in the game although they are present in the game files. An unmarked version spawns as a civilian car, though they were never marketed for civilian sale in North America. -- Last edit: 2023-04-17 01:03:13

Chevrolet G-20 American Truck Simulator (2016)	TheGreaser 2021-10-15 21:30	This van is actually quite rare, though. I've seen it a few times but not as frequently as the other vans like the Chevy Express and the NV200-based City Express. Strangely, this vehicle does not have a rear license plate - it's illegal to not have any license plates in the U.S. Also, what's wrong with the driver??
