VD Modding’s Mack RD800 Beta Release | Build & Drive | American Truck Simulator
ATS v1.54
We start off by announcing another giveaway for Southern Skinning’s MAS Chain Floor Trailer. Details in the video, and the winner will be chosen on Sunday’s video (4/13). Please enter by Saturday to be in the running.
We then head into the shop to take a look at all the build options and details for VD Modding’s new beta release of the Mack RD800. I also give a couple thoughts about what additional options/fixes could be done. THIS IS A FREE BETA, AND IT WILL BE FREE UPON OFFICIAL RELEASE AS WELL!
Then we take it on a short drive in Texas, hauling 150k lbs of logs with 850 Modding’s Heavy Logging Trailer - recently updated for 1.54.
I hope you enjoy the build & drive, and let me know if you have any questions or comments below!

This channel will be doing several things, including looks at various trucks, trailers, engines, and other mods in ATS - reviews, updates, things unique. It will also feature some flights in MSFS, train jobs in Derail Valley Simulator - maybe even combos in the same video. It will be heavy on the RP, showing viewers how to get creative with the game.
