Looks like the '98 rims.

Russia's an odd choice, most Russian ambulances I've seen are either Ford Transits or M-B Sprinters. A Ford Transit ambulance actually exists in-game for Turkey, they should've just used that.

Kinda anachronistic as it entered service in the 2000s and the nukes fell in 1997.

Seems to have a Ford steering wheel.

Is at least a 2011 model, since it has the post-2010 dashboard: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0cvg7qvai4

Chevrolet Caprice

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.

Seems this is a regional car; I've only ever seen it in Nevada in the game.

Badge says "Soptik", a parody of Pierce.

Chevrolet Caprice PPV

American Truck Simulator (2016)
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.

Yeah it still looks like crap even if we see it from a far

Heh, reminds me of the civilian cars I'd crush in BattleTanx on the N64.

Small mistake by the devs here, the plate starts with PGC, which is correct for the Guardia Civil cars (stands for Parque de la Guardia Civil) but for Policía Nacional it should start with CNP (Cuerpo Nacional de Policía). Just a small detail, but everything else is almost flawless, they definitely did a great job documenting police cars.


Yeah, one thing I love about the game. The devs went the extra mile to make the cop cars, ambulances and fire trucks accurate for each country. They could've been lazy and used generic ones but they didn't.

Looks like it's based off this: web.archive.org/web/1/www.motorauthority.com/news/1044614_british-police-choose-jaguar-xf-for-patrol-duty

Seems to be the only UK cop car in the game (ATS by comparison is more varied when it comes to its cop cars).

Did anybody else find it weird that All the police cars in the town were wagons? From my experiance there kinda rare,


Station wagons have been used for police work (Caprice Wagon in '90s, Dodge Magnum in '00s) occasionally, but I find it weirder that the game is set in the late 2000s but the police force is still driving around in 1983 vehicles, lol.

Devs were lazy and used the same bus for Brazil, the Middle East, and Washington, D.C.

Generic Metropolitan police in US. Black and white cop cars? more like west coast style. But it in east coast

Also, the level takes place in Virginia but they have California-style "EXEMPT" license plates. Game devs are based in California so I guess they just did it like that since that's what they're used to (Californization, TV Tropes calls it).

Chevrolet Caprice

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004)
For private vehicles, that makes sense. However, for fleet cars, like taxis and police vehicles, they're usually older, as they are purchased less often.
Chevrolet Step Van

The Walking Dead (2012)
Most U.S. police tactical vehicles nowadays are Lenco BEARCATs, not Stepvans.
Chevrolet Caprice

SPOILER: Could it be the same wagon that they come across later in the game?
Jeep Wrangler

The Walking Dead (2012)
It's a U.S. Army vehicle in the game, but the U.S. military never used the Wrangler, and the M151 and Willys MB were retired long ago.

Looks like Chevy Blazer headlights with a Dodge grille.

Traffic Slam 2: Detonation (2011)
The grille resembles that of a Volvo, and the headlights look like a Lexus. Still probably intended to be a Crown Vic, though.

Interesting the gas cap is on the side. Most American cars at the time had the fuel cap behind the license plate, or above it.
Chevrolet Caprice

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004)
The game is set in 1992, but cars usually come out a year before their model year. Despite that, a 1980s Caprice would've been a better choice for the police/taxi cars. 1991-1993 Caprices were brand new at the time, so there'd be fewer of them on the streets.
Chevrolet Caprice

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004)
Cars are usually released one year before their model year. However, since the game is set in 1992, 1980s Caprices would've been better. Most police cars in the U.S. in 1992 were the 1980s Caprices. The 1991-1993 Caprices were brand new at the time, so police departments would've had fewer of them.
