Are you excited to be cruising the highways of American Truck Simulator behind the wheel of a true American classic? Today, we would like you to take a closer look at one of the vehicles waiting for you in the FORD Car Pack for Road Trip - the legendary Ford Crown Victoria!
The Ford Crown Victoria is a full-size sedan that became something of a legend. Introduced in 1992 and built until 2012, it rides on Ford's rear-wheel-drive Panther platform - a classic body-on-frame setup that gave it durability, one of the things for which it's known. Powered by a sturdy V8 and famous for its toughness, the Crown Victoria earned a reputation as one of the most reliable workhorses of its era.
Its defining legacy came from its popularity in fleet service. By the late 1990s, police departments and taxi companies had practically adopted it, with thousands of these cars patrolling the streets or hauling passengers. In total, Ford built around 1.5 million Crown Victorias between 1992 and 2011.
In the game, you'll be driving the 2006+ base Crown Victoria, a civilian-oriented version of the Police Interceptor. This model features a 4.6L SOHC V8 engine delivering 224 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, paired with an electronic 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. It retains the same rear-wheel-drive layout, speed-sensitive power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS as its law-enforcement counterpart, but with a slightly gentler, everyday driving character.
The suspension setup - front short-/long-arm with stabilizer bar, rear Watt's linkage with monotube shock absorbers - balances comfort and control, while practical features like a 19-gallon fuel tank, fail-safe engine cooling system, battery saver with 30-minute shut-off delay, and stainless steel dual exhaust pipes make it a reliable companion for long highway stretches.
Visually, the in-game Crown Victoria mirrors the Police Interceptor's tough look, with a black grille, door handles, mirrors, rear trunk panel, and steel wheel rims, while inside, black synthetic leather seats distinguish it from the Interceptor's cloth interior.
Now that it is coming to American Truck Simulator as part of the FORD Car Pack, we are looking forward to modders turning it into everything from taxis to police cruisers!
