What this mod does
The Ford Explorer Platinum 2019 is one of the best-selling family SUVs in the United States, and it feels right at home in American Truck Simulator. Nimit turns it into a car you buy and drive as your vehicle, with no cargo trailer. He releases it for free on the official SCS forum, in the ATS mods section, with credits to DN Modding and Nimit.
What’s included
- High-quality exterior and interior.
- Custom interface with a digital speedometer in miles per hour and working extra info.
- Working front windows and adjusted wipers.
- Animations for the turn signal and wiper stalks and the parking brake.
- Engine and transmission tuned to get close to the real 0–100 and 0–200 km/h times.
Driving tip
To reach top speed you need to shift into sixth. It’s an SUV built for traveling, not a sports car: one user commented in the thread that its engine is modest, just like the real car’s.
Version
The author has kept it updated for each game version: 1.56 in October 2025, 1.59 in May 2026 and 1.61 on September 5, 2026. The ModLand page still shows version 2.1 for 1.59.
