Expanded Trailer Combinations

Description
This mod adds rear 'hooks' to all ownable trailer chassis allowing for more variety in ownable multi combination trailers.

If you find a bug while using this mod please report it! The mod is too large for me to effectively test every combination and accessory for each update. If you do find a bug please leave a detailed report in the comments (exact body and chassis used etc). I investigate every reported issue!


As there are hundreds of combinations in this mod, listing them all is impractical. Supported combinations generally include:

32ft STAA Doubles (permitted in all states)
32ft Triples
Up to 53ft front trailer, 32ft rear trailer RMD's
53ft TPD's with 3 Axle Dollies

All Trailers:
3 axle dolly TPD's (except Container and Livestock)

For those who want to run these combinations including any stock game combinations anywhere in the game please download this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2011749938

This mod is not compatible with TMP due to using custom game assets. Sanguinem Luna
has a TMP version listing every possible combination compatible with TMP. Please do not ask Sanguinem Luna for more combinations as they can not create them with stock game assets. Find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1616377353

Sanguinem Luna has also created an extended B-Double mod for ATS which can be using alongside this mod. Find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1859803083.

Known Bugs:
Container Trailers: The expandable trailers are all listed as STAA Doubles. This allows the combination to be changed from STAA, RMD and TPD between jobs using the F7 Trailer Configuration function.
Dropdeck Trailers: You must manually select the hook rear bumper for the 1st trailer.
Log Trailers: Do not jack knife the dolly. This may cause it to clip inside the hitbox of the log trailer resulting in truck and trailer damage as well rolling the combination over.

Sanguinem Luna already has a mod doing this. A link is in the description of this mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1859803083 .

Hi, is there any chance you could 45ft or 48ft b-double combo's as 53ft is a bit too big. We now legally have 45ft B-doubles here in australia.

Additional B Double chassis are only for Dropdeck and Flatbed combinations.

Dry Van B-doubles do not seem to be supported, it doesn't seem to matter what body I use dry/insulated/refridgerated there are only the two vanilla options and none of the options added to other trailer types that support B-doubles

No. If I was to make Expanded Lodeking Combinations that would be a separate mod.
DBM Marc [NL] Sep 8, 2022 @ 1:54am 
does it allso work with the load king trailers?
Gdog900  [author] Aug 25, 2022 @ 2:15pm 
That's a combination that can be easily be made via save editing. I also do not intend on adding B Triple combinations to this mod.

As there is no 53ft dry bulk trailers I am not making 32ft RMD's to help keep the RMD list lower. I have told you time and again to learn how to save edit. You can make whatever combinations you want then using my mod as they will all go together.
