This guide contains 80 hidden roads in 20 counties on Euro Truck Simulator 2. It is actual for June 2025, on ETS2 1.54 (and will be updated if new roads will be added on 1.55 or later). 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. To avoid spoilers and discover all hidden roads and secrets yourself better to skip the video.

The final big map combo for ATS 1.54 with Missouri DLC includes Coast to Coast, Promods Canada, Reforma, Beyond, Aleutian Islands, Sierra Nevada, EMMN, Yards and other mods. Links below consist 17 maps and additions. Only Free mods.
The Corn State (officially Hawkeye State) is coming to ATS soon and with portion of Official news (like review of Cedar Rapids, river ports, agriculture and even live preview) we have also some leaks and speculations. Now we see the map of the DLC which is looks realistic.
I assume that we see the release in the end of June-beginning of July right after ATS 1.55.
As part of the upcoming 1.55 update for American Truck Simulator it will be introduced a range of improvements and new customization options for the Freightliner Cascadia 2024. This includes new accessories, updated interior and exterior options, and more.
Several new accessories will be added to allow for personalization of Freightliner Cascadia. This includes a paintable airdam, a vertical exhaust system, chrome side mirrors and filter fins, and a paintable sunvisor for the sleeper variant. Inside the cabin will be added a new black interior variant, while also updating the existing tan and grey versions. Drivers will also have the choice between a traditional gauge cluster on their dashboard or a modern digital dashboard layout. With these additions, each sleeper configuration now includes six unique interior variants, giving you more options for a cabin. On the exterior improvements of the sleeper’s details. The 72″ sleeper side walls have been remodeled, particularly around the window area. Blind spot sensors have also received an update, allowing them to function correctly with both the traditional A-pillar sensors and the digital mirror displays. The camera arms have also been adjusted, with their marker lights now functioning solely as turn indicators, reflecting real-world behavior more accurately.
In the upcoming 1.55 update for American Truck Simulator, it will be a small free update to the Farm Machinery DLC that includes a new cargo – Windrower! If you’ve ever seen neat rows of cut hay or crops lined up across a field, this is the machine behind that magic. Windrowers are used to cut and gather crops like hay or grains into long, tidy rows called windrows. This process helps the crops dry faster and makes it easier for the next machines, like balers or harvesters, to come in and collect them. They’re big, wide, and built for the fields, but when it’s time to move them, it takes a skilled trucker with a lowboy trailer to get the job done. It’ll come in two color variants, there’s a green variant that looks right at home on any farm, and a yellow one that proudly features the logo of OWL, one of in-game farming equipment brands.
American Truck Simulator as well as Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now closer to version 1.55 and we also expecting open beta for games soon and for sure brand new Iowa DLC.
