Lately, there’s been quite a bit of chatter echoing across the highways of American Truck Simulator. From truck stops to weigh stations, drivers have been exchanging stories about a certain unfamiliar rig cruising the open road. Naturally, this caught our attention.

This mysterious machine hasn’t made things easy for those trying to get a closer look. With its smooth ride and surprisingly quiet presence, it seems to come and go before anyone can properly study it. The image we’ve seen so far leaves plenty of questions unanswered, but also sparks a lot of excitement.

What we’re seeing here is a truck that keeps its secrets well. Its modern design and refined presence hint at something built with both performance and driver comfort in mind. However, details remain limited, and no one has managed to get a closer, clearer look… yet.

Reports suggest that this mysterious newcomer could be a strong contender for both long-haul journeys and regional routes alike, offering versatility for all kinds of jobs across the vast American landscape. Beyond that, though, we’ll leave the speculation up to you.

Do you think you know what it might be?

We’ve kept the engine running, because today we’re excited to share a second gameplay preview from our upcoming Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator! Ready to hit the road?

On this trip, we’re taking on a job contract that takes us through the bustling streets of Chicago. We start our journey at a construction site in the heart of the city, near the Roosevelt Bridge, where we’ll make our way through downtown. Be sure to look out for landmarks such as Buckingham Fountain and for stunning skyline views of the city!

From there, we head south on Interstate 57, where we'll travel towards the picturesque landscapes of southern Illinois, with our final destination being a scenic marina near the city of Marion, located along the shores of Lake Rend. Fancy tagging along for the ride? If so, join us as a co-driver by watching the video below! 

We hope you enjoyed this gameplay preview of Illinois and the trucking opportunities it will bring to American Truck Simulator!
