ATS Road Trip: Ford DLC Release Date Set for September 29
The wait for cars in American Truck Simulator is nearly over. SCS Software has announced that the Road Trip: Ford DLC will be released on September 29, 2026, and it has a new video trailer to go with the date.
The name has changed along the way. Until now SCS called it the Ford Car Pack; from this announcement on, it is the Road Trip: Ford DLC. It is the same product with the same four cars.
The four cars
The announcement lists the lineup with model years:
| Car | Our earlier coverage |
|---|---|
| 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback | first look, gameplay |
| 2023 Ford F-150 | first look, gameplay |
| 2023 Ford Bronco | first look |
| 1998–2012 Ford Crown Victoria | first look, walk-around video |
SCS sketches a few drives to try: Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles, the rolling hills of the Midwest, or the mountains of Montana.
What else comes with it
The post sums up everything shown in recent months. Besides the cars themselves, you get smaller delivery jobs, which SCS detailed last week in its Quick Jobs and Dispatch Market post, plus accessories and paint for your cars as covered in our buying and configuring piece. Then there is Atlas, the exploration feature built around Tourist Boards and landmarks.
SCS makes a point of reminding truck-only players that Atlas is not just for cars. Own the Road Trip: Ford DLC and the feature is unlocked from release day, including from behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler.
What we do not know yet
SCS did not give a price in the announcement. The date also covers the Ford pack only. The studio said nothing here about when the RAM & Dodge pack will follow.
Our take
Seventeen months after the first announcement in April 2025, Road Trip finally has a date, and a short gap between date and launch is typical SCS. The order makes sense too. Ford goes first with a mix of old and new, and every feature it needs, from the dealer to Atlas, has been shown at least once.
