What this mod does
The Mercedes-Benz LS 1938 is a tractor unit that Mercedes built for the Brazilian market, where it’s considered a road classic. Cristhian Cardoso has brought it to Euro Truck Simulator 2 as a standalone truck, so it sits alongside the Actros models already in the game.
What’s included
- 4×2, 6×2 and 6×4 chassis.
- 380, 449, 476 and 510 hp engines.
- Sold at the Mercedes-Benz dealer, the used truck dealer or the mod store.
- A skin edit file on the author’s website for making your own paint jobs.
Who it’s for
For anyone who wants a classic-style Mercedes, very different from the modern Actros, or who collects South American trucks. If you already have other trucks by the same author, like the Volkswagen Meteor or the Volvo NL12 EDC, this one rounds out the fleet nicely.
Version
According to the author’s website, it works from ETS2 1.51 to 1.61. Credits go to LS Mods and Cristhian Cardoso. The most practical option is to subscribe on Steam Workshop so you get updates automatically; the author also offers a manual download on ShareMods from his website.
