Linciano Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hey y'all I'm completely new to American Truck Simulator and the American Trucks in general. Which Truck would you recommend, when it comes to acceleration and speed? And which one for heavy cargo with more power? Thank you in advance for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Trucks in ATS really only matter based on what you think looks nice. The W900 and the P389 technically have more power than the rest of the trucks, but not by much. I wouldn't call save editing the engine from a P389 or W900 into a different truck unrealistic though, considering how modular US trucks are built, its just not an option you would have from an official dealer. What matters most is the transmission and chassis type. For heavy haul I would pick the Allison TC10 or the 18 speed transmission, though a 13 (or 12, incase you are driving a VNL) speed will usually do just fine too. I would reccomend a 6x4 chassis, but again its not entirely nessecary, its just very useful incase you somehow get stuck. Fastest overall transmissions are the Allison transmissions, but the 18 speed will let you cruise at 100mph pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.E.M Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hi mate, I think ats trucks are very powerful, So it doesn't matter which one. But if you need to choose one of the volvo trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

***{kadiracar02}*** Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 the Volvo added to the game is very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Gekco Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Up to personal preference, myself I drive the Volvo or 389. SCS should also be adding a International Lonestar to the game soon, I figured it was going to be with the Washington DLC release but it may be out when 1.35 releases.

Guest Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hello, I'm not an expert in this domain, but I personally think the Volvo VNL is one of the best truck in American Truck Simulator (of course, it's only my point of view), mostly because I like its design and the engines you can put are powerful. I hope that my answer helped you to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linciano Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 @Tristan [FR] It definitely helped me Thanks so much, i need to level up a bit so i can buy all Trucks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoktorBlazin Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I save edit the engine from a w900 use an 18 speed with a retarder in all of my trucks. I stay away from VNL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURAK[TR] Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 VOLVO BEST KOLEKA LOGISTIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockstah Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 As others have said the trucks really aren't too different as far as power goes. I personally prefer the Volvo because it has the shortest wheelbase making it a bit easier to maneuver, especially as a day cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_TMP Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I always like the KW900. That is my only truck i have so i say KW900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shed_y Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I dont have a favorite but if I would want a truck from ATS it would be the T680 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech_Bossman_TwitchTV Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 My favorite is the 389 stretched daycab (longer fuel range). And W990 in single player. But ultimately its all choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahtaah [IT] Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The Volvo is Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Night Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 for single player, GTM T610 or Harven's W990 (both off Steam Workshop) For Multi player, Peterbilt 579 6x2 tag axle with a Cummins 600 or Paccar 510hp, both mated to a 18 speed transmission.

Callum. Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The Volvo VNL I would say is simply brilliant for most purposes. it has the perfect amount of power and has the control to reach high speeds with most cargo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerboy_nl Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 If its up to me i would say the kenworth w900 since it's my favorite, altho I do miss 3 back axle option like the one you got with ets2 heavy haul dlc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTM's other trucks are also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Night Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 @Granite that's why I love it. Can make any delivery with ease, it is however heavy with 400 gallons of fuel It's roughly the size of rjl scania T cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetiFreshi Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hey there @Linciano , I might be kinda late. But I love the new Volvo which got added in the game, so I really just can recommend you to tune on of these trucks. Hope you'll read my answer anyway. xD Have a nice day ^^ LetFresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
