Realistic Cargo Weight 2x
Tired of powerful engines and 18-speed transmissions feeling unnecessary with most vanilla loads?
Realistic Cargo Weight 2x doubles the original cargo mass values while preserving the balance between light and heavy cargo. It does NOT set every load to the same weight: a light cargo remains relatively light, while an already-heavy cargo becomes a serious hauling challenge.
World of Trucks Compatible
Tested and working with World of Trucks contracts in both configurations:
– External Contracts – without your own trailerExternal Market – with your own trailer
100-tonne limit: Non-Special Transport loads are limited to a maximum of 100,000 kg for World of Trucks compatibility. In my ATS External Contracts test, the log stacker was accepted at 100,000 kg and rejected at 100,001 kg. Loads below the cap retain the original 2x mass values. Special Transport loads retain the full 2x weight, even above 100 tonnes, because they are not World of Trucks contracts. The same definitions also apply to offline jobs. Loads made up of whole units may finish below the cap.

Compatibility
– Built and tested for American Truck Simulator 1.60.x and 1.61.x.
– Mods that alter the same cargo mass or trailer definition files can override these values. If needed, place Realistic Cargo Weight 2x above other cargo-weight mods in the Mod Manager load order.
– This mod changes cargo weight-related definitions. It does not intentionally rebalance prices, XP or the economy.
Note – 1.61 Official release:
Added support for the three new ATS 1.61 cargoes: Truss, Seed Containers and Trailers. These cargoes now receive the mod’s 2x weight adjustment.
