The guide contains 235+ hidden roads in 18 states (including Iowa DLC) on American Truck Simulator. It is actual for September 2025, on ATS 1.55. Some roads are periodically disappear during map reworks and some new are being added in new game versions. Mostly I added marked roads but also some easter eggs are available. And we are waiting the new states soon – Louisiana, Illinois and South Dakota. I tried to avoid spoilers, mark only locations and removed hidden roads footages but if you prefer to to discover all hidden roads and secrets yourself better to skip the video. Hidden and secret roads doesn’t affect percentage of map discovery.
SCS Software has announced another downloadable content pack for American Truck Simulator: Road Trip, introducing the RAM & Dodge Car Pack to the popular trucking simulation game.
Road Trip represents a new addition to American Truck Simulator that introduces alternative gameplay beyond traditional trucking. This gameplay module allows players to operate various vehicles, expanding the game experience while maintaining focus on open-road exploration.
The RAM & Dodge Car Pack will feature American automotive design and performance vehicles. The development team notes that specific details for each vehicle, including engine configurations and trim options, are still being finalized and will be shared at a later date.
The pack aims to include several iconic vehicles from the RAM and Dodge lineup. Players can expect to drive the RAM 1500 pickup truck, the Dodge Charger, the Dodge Viper, and the Dodge Challenger. These vehicles represent significant entries in automotive history and will be available for highway cruising within the game world.
Upon release of the RAM & Dodge Car Pack, or any Road Trip vehicle pack, the Road Trip gameplay module will become available to players. Purchasing this DLC or any future Road Trip content will unlock access to the new gameplay experience, marking a notable expansion for American Truck Simulator.
SCS Software has acknowledged the cooperation and support from RAM and Dodge, which has enabled the faithful recreation of these iconic vehicles within the game environment. This partnership represents part of the developer’s ongoing efforts to expand the simulation experience.
Earlier, SCS Software announced the first DLC for the Road Trip module – the Ford Car Pack. This initial vehicle pack showcases iconic American automotive history, featuring the legendary 1967 Mustang, the versatile 2023 F-150 pickup truck, the modern 2023 Bronco, and the classic 1998-2012 Ford Crown Victoria. The Ford Car Pack represents the inaugural offering for the Road Trip gameplay experience, spanning decades of American automotive design from classic muscle cars to contemporary workhorses.
Map Combos for SCS trucking games are not a simple thing for newcomers. So you can find lot of ready setups for actual version, including here on Trucksim, but before start better to avoid obvious mistakes. In this guide I’m explaining how to build map combo for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) or American Truck Simulator (ATS), from how to download and combine maps, to tricks how to avoid crashes. I will cover the basics for beginners. Guide made in 2024 but is still actual in September 2025 on game versions 1.55 and latest DLCs

Along with the announcement for truck simulators release on consoles, SCS also revealed Official trailer for upcoming ETS2 expansion Nordic Horizons DLC. The trailer is in traditional dramatic style with no surprises. We still have no evidence that the expansion will be released in 2025 and so early trailer revealed is linked mostly to Gamescom where it was presented. According to #SCS, development of this DLC took more than two years and 2 map development teams. And in terms of area it might be bigger that two latest DLC (Greece and West Balkans) together. For sure Nordic roads and lands not so saturated as Balkan small countries or Greece but we hope it will bring us amazing landscape mapping and long haul experience. Currently new trailer is not available on Youtube but you can see it on social medias, e.g. Facebook
In video below I collected available footages and pics of #NordicHorizons WIP before the trailer.
SCS Software made an announcement during yesterday’s Future Games Show, the digital showcase that runs ahead of Gamescom and highlights upcoming gaming projects. The developer premiered an exclusive teaser confirming the console versions of their popular trucking simulators.
The announcement officially confirmed that both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator will be making their way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This represents a significant expansion for the franchise, which has primarily been available on PC platforms.
Console players will gain access to the realistic trucking physics and open-world gameplay that has made these simulators popular among PC users. The move to next-generation hardware should allow for enhanced performance and visual fidelity compared to previous console attempts in the trucking simulation genre.
If you just started with mods and map combination please see beginner’s guide. If you ask obvious questions explained in that guide most probably you will be send to watch it again.
Regarding actual map combinations for both games on version 1.55 we have setups for both games and I’m sure they are not final. While no significant changes in America and ATS combo is actual and on hold on improvements, European combination growing almost every day. Below you will find massive setup for 55 maps for ETS2 and soon it will be expanded with new released maps like Eurafrica, Great Steppe, Poland Rebuilding, updated Sibirmap and other maps. I need time to assemble and test it so I hope we can see it not early that the weekend. Before start to combine maps on your side please always check if the guide you see is latest and actual. Please also follow rules and requirements – correct load order, DLCs compatibility and avoid extra mods that did not mentioned in the guide. Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems.
Today for Europe we have mentioned mega map combo with 55 and it will be updated soon.
For American 1.55 you can still build 17 maps setup with all major maps including latest Beyond, Promods Canada, ATS Expansion. Combo requires latest Iowa DLC and some maps also other DLCs dependent. Please see the guide for smart shopping of American DLC with bundles. For American configuration we use only free mods.
While European setup is on development and soon we will see the update with fresh mods, American one will be probably actual for some time, minor mod versions updated and links are actualized.
