What this mod does

Ford Tuning Playground 2.0 is a mod by Morales for the cars in American Truck Simulator’s Road Trip: Ford DLC. It adds engines, gearboxes and suspension setups to the DLC’s four Fords. It came out on October 2, 2026 and already has over 10,000 subscribers on Steam Workshop.

Vehicles

  • 2024 Ford Bronco and 2023 F-150.
  • 1967 Ford Mustang and 2006 Crown Victoria.

What it adds

  • Realistic engine swaps and high-performance versions.
  • V8s and V10s built for drifting, plus experimental 5,000 and 10,000 hp engines.
  • Gearboxes independent of the engine.
  • Comfort, Firm, Race and Drift setups.
  • Spec sheets for each engine with power, torque, displacement and max RPM.
  • Bigger tanks: F-150 300 L, Bronco 250 L, Mustang 200 L and Crown Victoria 220 L.

Version and compatibility

The author lists ATS 1.61.X or later. The latest update is from October 8, 2026. Sound stays the same as the base game: for a more aggressive exhaust, the author suggests a separate sound mod. It may conflict with other engine or vehicle mods that change the same Fords. If you run into problems, keep just one engine pack per vehicle and put this one above it in the Mod Manager.
