What this mod does
The 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT is the sixth generation of the world’s most popular pickup, the 1973-1979 one. Nimit publishes it as a tribute on his official Gumroad store for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, with several engines and «great V8 sounds» for every taste.
What’s included
- Four V8 engines with their own sound and real gearboxes: 7.5, 6.6, Duramax 6.6 and Powerstroke 7.3; up to 200 km/h with the most powerful one.
- Custom two-tone paint and aluminum finish for every part.
- 14 chassis (standard bed, short bed, dually, flatbed and lowered versions), all with a fifth wheel and tow ball.
- Three trailers included (PJ flatbed, Octane Race and tarp trailer) with their cargo, plus paint and cab accessories; nine files.
- 56 option groups: 19 grilles, 15 roll bars, 12 bumpers, eight steering wheels, upholstery, floors, rock lights and more.
