SCS Software has shared details about Road Trip, an upcoming game mode for American Truck Simulator that allows players to explore the map in passenger cars.

24 August 2026

Developer SCS Software has revealed the first details of an upcoming game mode titled Road Trip for American Truck Simulator. The new feature will expand the simulator's gameplay, allowing players to explore the virtual open world behind the wheel of passenger cars alongside traditional heavy trucks.

The vehicle purchasing experience will differ from the existing truck acquisition system. Players will first select a manufacturer before browsing available models. The dealership interface will offer two distinct display views: a comprehensive catalog detailing individual vehicle specifications, and a comparative table designed to quickly evaluate multiple models side by side.

Once acquired, passenger cars will be stored in a dedicated garage space where players can customize them. Available modifications include repainting, installing custom exterior components, and personalizing the interior. SCS Software has not yet announced an official release date for the Road Trip mode.
