U.S. Route 64 (US 64) is an east–west United States Highway in northeastern Arizona, northern New Mexico and Oklahoma in American Truck Simulator. The route is separated into three sections: The first section runs from US 160 in Teec Nos Pos to northeastern Guymon. The second section runs from northern Enid to Interstate 35 and US 412 east of the latter city, mostly concurrent with US 412. The third section runs from a toll gate at US 412 and SH-99 between Enid and Tulsa to Interstate 244 and US 75 in Tulsa, mostly concurrent with US 412 and partially with Interstate 244 and US 75.

In real life, US 64 spans a total length of 2,326 miles (3,743 km) from Teec Nos Pos, Arizona to Nags Head, North Carolina.

Course

US 64 begins at its intersection with US 160 in Teec Nos Pos, AZ, and shortly after its beginning enters New Mexico. The highway here descends into Red Wash, where the massive volcanic neck named Ship Rock can first be seen, and rises to the town of Shiprock, where it intersects with US 491 and crosses the San Juan River. After running along the San Juan for a ways, the highway reaches Farmington, where it splits in two: US 64 Business runs through the town's central business district on Broadway and Main Street, while US 64 Bypass (officially the mainline routing of US 64), intended for through traffic, runs along the southern edge of the town on Murray Drive. Between Farmington and Interstate 25, this section is considered among the most scenic routes in New Mexico, as well as in the game. Leaving Farmington and Bloomfield, where it intersects with US 550, the highway crosses the colorful tablelands of the Colorado Plateau, which transitions to forest; somewhere in this forest the highway crosses the Great Continental Divide. The highway soon meets with US 84, with which it runs concurrent for a stretch before splitting off just south of Tierra Amarilla. The highway then crosses the Tusas Mountains through Carson National Forest, afterwards entering the Rio Grande Rift at the southern end of the San Luis Valley, where it crosses the Rio Grande Gorge via a bridge simply named after the gorge; this bridge, standing 600 ft. over the river, is the 10th-highest bridge in the United States. Out of the valley the highway reaches the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a large range of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The highway first crosses the Taos Mountains, a subrange of the Sangre de Cristos, via Palo Flechado Pass, a tricky route with several switchbacks; the largest of these switchbacks can be bypassed with an secret dirt shortcut, which, after driving it for the first time, gives the Forest Shortcut achievement. The highway then enters the valley of Cieneguilla Creek, where it passes through the town of Eagle Nest below many snow-capped peaks, a mountain to the west being Wheeler Peak, the highest point of New Mexico. The highway then traverses the Cimarron Range, another daunting, yet scenic, route. After running through Cimarron Canyon the highway exits the mountains and meets Interstate 25, which then follows concurrent into Raton. US 64 branches off I-25 at exit 450 and follows 2nd Street (Interstate 25 Business) to the north, and then it turns east, following Clayton Road to cross I-25 once again; here, the 64 begins to follow US 87 and the Ports to Plains Corridor across the northeastern part of New Mexico and onto the Great Plains, passing through the town of Des Moines. Continuing east, US 64 approaches Clayton, where it ends its concurrency with the 87 and follows US 56 and US 412 to the northeast.

After passing by a rest area at the northwestern corner of Texas, US 64 enters the Oklahoma Panhandle and the Rita Blanca National Grasslands, while it still follows concurrently with US 56 and US 412. US 385 soon joins the concurrency across the panhandle into Boise City, where the latter route branches off the 64 at a roundabout encircling the Cimarron County Courthouse (which also features a viewpoint). The highway heads east, with SH-3 joining the concurrency, as it leaves Boise City and intersects US 287, which bypasses the said city to the northeast. Continuing across the panhandle, US 56 simply ends further east of Boise City, while US 64 continues into the city of Guymon, where it then follows a fifth highway with the multi-concurrent routes, SH-136. In Guymon, US 412, SH-3, and SH-136 ends the 64's multi-concurreny across the western part of the Oklahoma Panhandle and continues south as a secret road, while US 64 then overlaps the latter highways' truck route, bypassing the business district of the city to the east. The highway then leaves the truck routes and is then overlapped by US 54 to the northeast towards Kansas; here, the gap in the route begins northeast of Guymon, while the highway resumes in northern Enid. In Enid, US 64 gradually bypasses the city center to the north and east upon intersecting its second business route and following US 412 for the second time, heading east towards its junction with Interstate 35, where a second gap in the route is presented. The third second of US 64 is completely unsigned, but this section is still rendered in the game: The highway resumes at an inacessible interchange serving SH-99, with a toll booth underneath, at US 412. The 64 follows the latter route into the city of Tulsa, where it turns south, following a short section of Interstate 244 and US 75 until ending at exit 4 of I-244, at the downtown district of Tulsa.
