U.S. Route 54 (US 54) is an east–west United States Highway in the El Paso metropolitan area in western Texas, eastern New Mexico, the Texas panhandle, and the Oklahoma panhandle in American Truck Simulator. It runs from Interstate 10 and US 180 in El Paso near the Mexican border to northeastern Guymon.

US 54 in New Mexico is signed north–south throughout the state despite being nationally an east–west highway due to its physical orientation from the Texas state line between El Paso and Alamogordo to the Texas state line between Tucumcari and Dalhart, although some signs along the route are signed east–west from Vaughn to the Texas state line northeast of Tucumcari. The highway, along with US 62 and US 180, also travels through two portions of Texas, separated by the portion in New Mexico.

In real life, US 54 spans a total length of 1,197 miles (1,926 km) from El Paso, Texas to Griggsville, Illinois.

Course

US 54 beings in El Paso, Texas, as a controlled access highway at a complex interchange with Interstate 10 and US 180 known as El Paso's "Spaghetti Bowl". The route travels north while it leaves the city, serving several major streets. At 37 miles (59 kilometers) north from its western terminus, US 54 passes by the neighborhood of Newman in the far northeast of El Paso, where the known landmark of "The Edge of Texas" is located.

Right after passing by Newman, US 54 enters New Mexico and traces through the Chihuahuan Desert as the runs towards the north and reaches the city of Alamogordo. There, it runs a short concurrency with US 70, bypassing the city to the east, and intersects US 82 to the north. US 54 continues north and enters Tularosa, where the 70 ends its concurrency with the route. The highway runs withing the central portion of the state, passing through Carrizozo and intersecting US 380. The route then travels a northeast-ward course across the central portion of the state, passes through Corona, and enters Vaughn. Just west of Vaughn, US 54 runs a concurrency with US 60 and US 285 through the city; soon afterwards, the 285 ends the concurreny at the southern limits of Vaughn, and a weigh station is also presented there. The 54 traces east, while it still follows US 60 for a short distance until it ends its concurreny with the highway east of the city. US 54 resumes its northeasterly run across the state, passes by Pastura to the east, and enters Santa Rosa, where it starts its concurrency with Interstate 40. The route also follows a short concurrency with US 84 through the city. As the 54 runs with I-40, the route passes by the Pajarito Rest Area, and then it runs through Tucumcari. In the city, US 54 ends its concurrency with I-40 and runs northeast through the town of Logan.

As it enters Texas for the second time, the surrounding terrain of US 54 transitions to the Great Plains as it enters Dalhart through several farmlands in the Texas panhandle. The route enters the city of Dalhart and intersects US 87 and US 385 altogether. Beyond the city limits, US 54 approaches Spur 24 northeast of Dalhart and continues to travel to the northeast towards the border town of Texhoma.

Half way through Texhoma, US 54 enters the panhandle of Oklahoma, expanding into a four-lane highway across the region; soon afterwards, it enters the city of Guymon, where it intersects US 64, US 412, SH-3, and SH-136 (along with their truck routes), all of which run a concurrency with US 54 through the city. Northeast of the city, the 54 runs a concurrency with the 64 for the rest of its course upon approaching its current eastern terminus at a service shop, in the northeastern part of Guymon, and will in time continue into Kansas.
