What this mod does

[SCR] Peterbilt 358 brings the Peterbilt 358 to American Truck Simulator, the model that introduced the tilting hood to Peterbilt’s lineup. Smarty (SCR Rigs) built it from scratch and covers the most common factory options from 1965 to 1972, from its launch until just before the «1100» cab.

What’s included

  • Standalone truck (unit peterbilt.358_scr) with its own interior and animated gauges, including the odometer.
  • Engine sound using Kriechbaum samples, credited by the author.
  • Paint templates on the author’s site (scr-rigs.com) so you can make your own skins.
  • Weighs 61 MB and needs no DLC, according to the official page.

Version and compatibility

The author doesn’t state a game version on the Steam page. It was posted on August 2, 2026 and last updated on September 6, 2026, around the 1.61 era; October and November comments don’t mention problems with 1.62, but if it throws errors Holyfix will warn you. It has over 15,000 subscribers and 5 stars from 256 ratings.

Smarty asks that it not be re-uploaded elsewhere: it is only distributed on Steam Workshop, his own site and TruckyMods. If you want more classic trucks for ATS, also check out Outlaw Peterbilt 359 V2.
