Trucks: American Truck Simulator
Trucks, also known as a tractor unit (ten-wheeler, semi-tractor, semi-truck, big rig, or eighteen-wheeler) are vehicles that transport trailers in American Truck Simulator.
Summary
Trucks are the key component of American Truck Simulator which allow you to transport goods from one location to another. There are currently 4 truck manufacturers and 17 different models in American Truck Simulator, all of which can be serviced and upgraded in service shops. For information on where to purchase the trucks, visit the truck dealer or used truck dealer articles.
Models

FAQ
- Q: Why does vehicle development take a long time?
- A: SCS doesn't announce things that are not in the stage of Beta testing, in case anything happens, manufacturers postpone due to a design/sound issues or major licensing factors come into play which can cause a delay. [1]
- Q: Why aren't after-market truck accessories or add-ons apart of a truck release?
- A: What you get as "free" part of the truck is completely factory products that are still available in production and everything that comes from this brand as part of this truck when you buy or order from the factory itself. Any Tuning DLC's or after-market accessories have to be separate DLC's. [2]
