Ready to take to America’s interstate in a genuine automotive icon? In American Truck Simulator’s FORD Car Pack for Road Trip, one standout is the venerable Ford Crown Victoria — a stalwart of roads and fleets that now rolls into the game with authentic detail.
The Crown Victoria is a full-size sedan renowned for its durability and straightforward engineering. Introduced in the early 1990s and produced into the early 2010s, it rode on Ford’s rear-wheel-drive Panther platform with a body-on-frame construction that prized toughness and serviceability. With a robust V8 under the hood, the model became synonymous with dependable everyday performance.
Its legacy grew largely from widespread fleet use: police departments and taxi services across North America relied on the Crown Victoria for its simplicity and longevity. Ford produced roughly 1.5 million examples during its run, making the model a familiar sight in urban and suburban landscapes alike. remains closely associated with the vehicle’s long service life.
In-game, the model available is the civilian-oriented 2006+ Crown Victoria — a close relative of the Police Interceptor but tuned for everyday driving. It features a 4.6L SOHC V8 that produces approximately 224 horsepower and 275 lb‑ft of torque, mated to an electronically controlled 4‑speed automatic with overdrive. The car keeps the rear‑wheel drive architecture, speed‑sensitive power steering, and four‑wheel disc brakes with ABS, delivering a balanced, comfortable driving experience.
The suspension combines a front short/long‑arm layout with a stabilizer bar and a rear Watt’s linkage equipped with monotube shock absorbers, striking a good compromise between ride comfort and composed handling. Practical engineering touches — a 19‑gallon fuel tank, fail‑safe cooling, a battery saver with a 30‑minute shutoff delay, and stainless steel dual exhaust — all contribute to its reputation as a dependable highway cruiser.
Visually, the in‑game Crown Victoria adopts the tough, no‑nonsense appearance of the Interceptor: a black grille, matching door handles and mirrors, a black rear trunk panel, and steel wheels. Inside, black synthetic leather seats give the civilian model a distinctive, understated look compared with the cloth appointments of its law‑enforcement counterpart.
With the Crown Victoria joining the FORD Car Pack in American Truck Simulator, modders and players alike will have plenty of opportunities to customize it — from classic yellow taxis to fully outfitted police cruisers.
