What this mod does
Steerable SCS Trailers is a mod by Bruce C for American Truck Simulator. It gives steering axles to every stock SCS lowboy, including the Heavy cargo, Special transport and Forestry ones, as well as any you own. It has over 16,000 subscribers.
What it does and doesn’t do
- It only changes the axles: it doesn’t add new trailers to the DLCs.
- The axles steer on their own; you can’t control them.
- It works with World of Trucks contracts.
How it drives
The author warns that if you haven’t used steerable trailers (they’re common in ETS2), you may need a load or two to get used to them, especially in tight turns. The wheels can’t be locked for reversing, so back up carefully. In August a player asked for a way to turn off steering when reversing.
Version
The description doesn’t list a version and the file is from August 2021. In May 2026 the author confirmed in the comments that it still works on 1.59, and in June, that it also works on the 1.60 beta. In September he was asked about 1.61 and didn’t reply.
It’s about 51 KB. Trailers from cargo DLCs only change if you own those DLCs.
