Which type of dlc? Map, cargo, transports. If you have no dlc maps and just the base game Oregon or New Mexico are a good starting point and then I would add more dlc maps in the order of when they were originally released, Washington, Utah and so on. Happy truckin

Define "best".

The cheapest ones are the paint jobs I think.

The best dlcs are states. The biggest state is Texas. Personally you need em all so work some overtime.

My preferences in order top to bottom:
State maps
Jobs (heavy haul, special transport, etc.)
Accessory packs (Tires, steering wheels, truck accessories, etc.)
Paint

States give you more miles to drive as well as more job locations. Jobs give you more variety in different jobs, many of which pay more than base game jobs.

For the last two, you can also find plenty of free mods, but the DLCs are usually very cheap even without a sale. These DLCs are pretty much just cosmetic, but give you more options from base game options to make your truck look the way you want.

States I would just get from base states and work your way out. You usually get a discount with bundles (especially when on sale).

Personally, I really enjoy the Pacific Northwest. But Kansas is growing on me.
all map expansions except Texas are around $11.99. if you want more roads, cities., and other stuff the map expansions are for you. If you need to, wait for a sale on steam to pick up the new map DLCs

This game has made me want to visit Washington, Oregon, Neveda, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and Colorado IRL.

Kansas is definitely one I'm liking a lot as well.

I've been to Washington (lived there for two years actually), been to Nevada for a week on vacation, but I didn't really see much, so I can't say anything. And I was in Colorado for a bit over a week, but again, didn't see a whole lot. But have been there several times through Denver though.

Washington is a little bit crunched due to the map scale, but it's workable at least. Going from Yakima to Seattle for example requires going over (or through) the Cascades, and where I lived was pretty much dead center in the state in a small town. It's only represented by a sign in-game, but it's just north of Yakima, takes about half an hour or so to drive if going over the mountain. If you go through the valley for a scenic route, then it takes about 45 minutes, but you're on a winding road with a river down off the side. Not a bad view really. State is beautiful though, I'll give it that, and the mountains are nice to break up the horizon.

Colorado on the other hand, you do have mountains in the western side of the state, but once you get more east, it gets quite a bit flat at times. I have been up to Pike's Peak as a kid though, and it's quite the sight up there. There are some scenic ways for sure, but I didn't do a whole lot in my time up there recently. But like Washington, the mountains are nice to break up the horizon since I've lived in DFW all my life for the most part, so the flat areas kinda get boring after a while. lol

All of them with exception to the paints...just personal preference I don't much care what looks like just the driving is what makes it.
