Arkansas is a state of the United States, which is featured in American Truck Simulator as a map expansion DLC that was released on September 16, 2024. It is the fourteenth map of DLC involving map expansions, but the thirteenth paid one.

Summary

The state is bordered by Louisiana to the south, Texas and Oklahoma to the west, Tennessee and Mississippi to the east and Missouri to the north. Meet the team who's designing Arkansas from the Arkansas - Meet The Team blog post.

Located in the south-central region of the United States, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, many State Parks, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers like the Arkansas and Mississippi, as well as the ever-stretching Ozark and Quachita mountain ranges.
While hauling cargo, you will be able to not only see some of these beautiful landscapes and areas, but travel through a variety of large and small towns and cities, where you'll find industries, landmarks and more.
