Map of upcoming Iowa DLC
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.
Updates for ATS in 1.55 (Cascadia and Farmer DLC)
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.
Map Combo Study 06.07.2025
Latest big combos for Europe and America are actual.
Probably I will not update combos for ATS and ETS2 for 1.54 unless some crucial changes in mods or in games. Most links are dynamic and updated versions available even if I do not mention it.
If you just started with mods and map combination please see beginner’s guide which I’m planning to update soon with actual dates and new UI which came in 1.51 after this guide was recorded.

South Dakota announced officially
SCS Software excited to unveil next map expansion for American Truck Simulator, which will offer a blend of beautiful nature, vibrant cities, and the joy of the open road. Their teams are currently hard at work on South Dakota for American Truck Simulator
Welcome to the Mount Rushmore State! Nestled in the North Central Region of the United States, South Dakota offers a beautiful site for truckers to admire. The state is dominated by peaceful, wide-rolling plains – its eastern region belongs to the Prairie Plains, while the western part forms a portion of the Great Plains. This part of the landscape transitions from flat river valleys in the east to plateaus, buttes, and a canyon-scarred terrain in the west.
Most probably South Dakota will be released not earlier than 2026’s second part as of SCS schedule after Iowa (summer 2025), Illinois (end of 2025), Louisiana (spring 2026). The next logical DLC after SD will be either North Dakota or Minnesota. Or even Mississippi which is left on the South.
