Mercedes-Benz LS 1938 v1.0 ETS2
The 1938 Mercedes-Benz LS is one of the German automaker’s most iconic classic trucks and is beloved by the Brazilian Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) community. As a mod, it attempts to recreate the essence of this beast that marked an era on the roads.
Main Features of the 1938 Mercedes-Benz LS Mod in ETS2:
1938 LS mods generally stand out for:
Detailed Modeling: The semi-forward cabin and robust lines of the 1938 are well reproduced, with attention to visual details, both exterior and interior.
Chassis Variations: It is common to find 4×2 (the stump) and 6×2 (the truck) chassis options, allowing for different configurations for transporting loads.
Realistic (or Improved) Engines and Transmissions: The mod typically offers engines that simulate the original 1938’s power (380 HP), as well as “chipped” or more powerful options (such as 449 HP, 476 HP, and even 510 HP), and various transmissions (ZF 16S165, among others) to adapt to different play styles.
Authentic Sound (FMOD): One of the highlights is the engine sound, which aims to replicate the characteristic Mercedes-Benz roar, often with “direct” roars and custom horns that increase immersion.
Many Customization Options: This is one of the biggest draws. You can customize almost everything:
Exterior: Various bumper variations (including the famous “mustache”), fog lights, front grilles (new and old), deflectors, sun visors (with or without logo, editable), wheel arches, antennas (PX, front and rear), rear mudguards (original, paintable, editable), exhausts (original and straight chrome), fuel tanks (original plastic and stainless steel), and original MB wheels.
Interior: PX radio, curtains, cabin lights, CD player in the dashboard, bed variations, control panel (with or without wheel arch gauge), and other cabin accessories compatible with the SCS accessories DLC.
Paints and Skins: Possibility to apply several skins from real companies or create your own with editable templates.
Standalone: The truck is independent in the game and can be purchased at a Mercedes-Benz dealership, a used car dealership, or the mod shop.
Compatibility: Frequently updated to be compatible with the latest versions of ETS2 (1.51, 1.53, 1.55, etc.).
Where to Find the Mod:
The popularity of the LS 1938 means it can be found in a variety of locations. The most common are:
Brazilian Modders’ YouTube Channels: Many content creators such as Fernando Gamer, Cristhian Cardoso, RBZ Mods, Cláudio Gamer Oficial, among others, develop and publish versions of the LS 1938, usually with download links in the video descriptions.
ETS2 Mod Sites: There are several websites specializing in ETS2 mods that compile and make these trucks available.
Steam Workshop: Some creators make their mods available directly on the Steam Workshop, which makes installation and updating easier. However, it’s important to check compatibility with your game version, as not all mods are constantly updated there.
Always prioritize downloading mods from trusted sources to ensure the security of your files and the stability of your game.
Have you ever had the chance to drive a 1938 LS in real life or in-game? It’s a truck that evokes a lot of nostalgia for transportation lovers!
