Main Features of the 1938 Mercedes-Benz LS Mod in ETS2:
The LS 1938 mod is distinguished by:

Authentic Sound (FMOD): A standout feature is the engine audio, which strives to replicate the distinct Mercedes-Benz roar, often incorporating “direct” sounds and custom horns that deepen immersion.
Extensive Customization Options: Customization is a major attraction, allowing modifications to nearly every aspect:

Interior: Features include PX radio, curtains, cabin lighting, dashboard CD player, various bed configurations, control panels (with or without wheel arch gauges), and additional cabin accessories compatible with the SCS accessories DLC.
Paints and Skins: A variety of real company skins can be applied, or users can create their own with editable templates.
Standalone: The truck is independent in-game and can be acquired from a Mercedes-Benz dealership, a second-hand dealer, or the mod shop.
Compatibility: Regular updates ensure compatibility with the latest versions of ETS2 (1.51, 1.53, 1.55, etc.).
