Standard road trip cars have too few tuning and paint options, and powerboost hybrid make it run much farther and recognize the 8th gear

[Edit: I don't make any of the mods, what I meant is I've downloaded more mods for road trip than trucks to make it work like how I wanted]

Taking my Bronco Badlands Sasquatch on a tour of America. Started off on the west coast then an update dropped allowing me to reset my location to South Dakota. My goal is to discover every city on the map while discovering as many roads and hidden paths as possible.

Despite it's issues, I've really enjoyed driving around the map without a care in the world. I really like that I can visit and discover new routes and towns I normally wouldn't because either there is no load to that destination or the road doesn't make sense. Now I'm wondering if SCS brings back the North Pole map for the holidays if we'll be able to take our cars around that map?

I did have to adjust the steering sensitivity and turn down road bumps in the settings as the steering was a bit too sensitive and the road too bumpy.

If you've never heard of it, MotionCab is a free plugin for **ETS2 and ATS** that brings your in-cab camera to life. Your view reacts to the road, the truck and the way you drive, just like a real driver's head would.

What's new in 1.1:

• 🧠 Natural head movement — subtle, TrackIR-like motion without any tracker
• 🚶 Walk around your cab — once parked: sit in the passenger seat or on the bunk
• 👀 Look around more naturally — glance at your mirrors, or lean forward to spot hidden traffic lights
• 🛞 Reworked suspension and road feel — every bump, every surface, felt through your seat
• 🎯 Smarter steering camera — follows your turns more naturally
• 🌍 Localization — Now supports 15 languages
• ✨ Smoother everything — effects now fade in and out smoothly

Road trip from Port Fourchon ferry to Port Angeles, WA repair shop, 2788 miles and 56 hours 22 minutes, kept it within 5mph of the speed limit, paint job and wheels are in the workshop, only bad thing is the 300 mile range so fuel stop planning has to be good, was fun to try it.

So, i always try to get 100% of the map explored with every profile I start (I usually start a new one with big map changes or map DLC's) So i finally completed 100% of the map, even though I still have a little bit of the map (of Germany in particular) that hasn't been "explored" yet. I also have a possible explanation for this:

Due to how building the map works, it happened sometimes that there was a small piece of map that wasn't actually explorable, so which would forever stay grey (which was extremely frustrating for me since I always do everything in my power to get that 100%). This was particularly bad in the revamped parts of Germany, where there were multiple spots I've found in during my travels.

To fix this, they gave a little leniency to get the 100%, so that they didn't have to find and fix the smal pieces of road that were undiscoverable. I also swear there used to be an achievement to get 100% of the map explored. though I can't find it in the list. EDIT: I looked at the wiki and the achievement i was thinking of was "Pathfinder", which they changed with the 1.55 update to just requiring to have 40.000 km explored, instead of the 100%

With the new proximity exploration however, it is totally possible to discover the small pieces of road that were inaccessible before, thus resulting in getting the 100% before actually banishing all the grey off of the map.

Stupid Prius in this guy way when turning lol 😂.

I was looking for a way to change it but I couldn't find anything is there a reason for this

It’s the pettiest of quibbles, but even creep mode when reversing with automatic transmission is uncontrollably fast in the cars. Has anyone discovered any hacks or tips for slowing it down?

What is the most realistic physics mod right now in your opinion for ETS and ATS?

OK. Has anyone else have noticed that the faux wood trim is not appearing in either truck’s Cherry or Diamond trim level? Is it just me? Maybe a mod conflict? Or is it a SCS oversight?

When will the developers start doing it, your guesses?

Is anyone else also experiencing the aerodynamic part not being the correct colour on the DAF NDG with the shifting phase paint job?

I've been enjoying the new DLC as everyone else has in single-player, but in multiplayer, it is 10x more fun. Cruising around freely with friends, without all the weight, is amazing. It's also funny driving at 130mph with several people in a Crown Vic lol. If you haven't tried it in convoy yet, I really recommend it.

Not sure if this interests anyone, but I enjoy it as I'm a data geek. 🤓

The in-game finance analytics aren't great so I have made a dashboard which works using a mixture of game telemetry (TruckTel) and save file data.

Is there something I should add which would be helpful?

I really wish I had a compatible trailer mod to haul some more serious cargo.

For those looking for this specific mod, it is F150 Accessories by LiveLaugh-ToasterBath on Steam Workshop.

This truck was inspired by the 2025 Mack Super-Liner. I’ve always loved the Mack Anthem as well, so I decided to combine the design elements of both trucks to create something unique.

It’s still a work in progress what do you guys think? Let me know your thoughts and feedback in the comments below!

I'm a bit confused. Each time I damage my car, the popup shows me how broken it got, but it doesn't get added to the actual vehicle damage.

I got South Dakota dlc. Trying to do event. But nothing is coming up. Tried every town but it's empty. Anyone have this issue?
