Today, we bring you a really BIG preview as we showcase the 2025 RAM 1500 Laramie, which will be coming to American Truck Simulator with the upcoming release of the Road Trip: RAM & Dodge DLC! The 2025 RAM 1500 Laramie is a full-size American pickup with a spacious cabin, bold styling, and plenty of power under the hood. Its wide body, tall profile, and clean lines give it a strong presence on the road. Measuring over 20 feet long and nearly 7 feet wide, it's a sizeable pickup that's hard to miss. You'll be able to choose from five versions of the Laramie: Standard, Night Edition, Sport Appearance, Southwest Edition, and Chrome Appearance Package. Each has its own look, so there's room to find a style that suits you. The Standard and Chrome packages keep things classic with chrome details, while the Sport Appearance package gives the pickup a sportier look. If you prefer darker details, the Night Edition is another option to consider. You can customise your RAM even further with a range of exterior and interior colours to choose from. We are also adding plenty of accessories for you to explore, including side steps, aftermarket fenders, bed add-ons, bull bars, and roof accessories. Mix and match to create a setup that suits your style before taking it out on the roads of American Truck Simulator! This big truck's power comes from the 3.0L Hurricane SST I6 engine, delivering 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. Inside, the Laramie features a comfortable and luxurious-looking cabin with leather, metal, and carbon-fibre elements, making it an eye-pleasing place to spend…

We're back with another episode of our SCS On The Road series! This time, we're joined by Polish YouTuber and content creator Wujek Bohun, who we recently had the pleasure of welcoming to our offices for a tour and a chat! You may have already seen his own video from the visit on his YouTube channel, but today we're excited to share our interview with him in his own studio! In this episode, we sat down with Wujek to learn more about his journey as a content creator, how he first got started on YouTube, and the experiences that shaped his career along the way. We also took a trip down memory lane as he shared his earliest memories of video games and how his passion for them has developed over the years. Of course, we couldn't miss the opportunity to talk about Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator! From his favourite DLCs to some of the features and improvements he'd love to see in the future, we covered plenty of interesting topics. We recommend turning on the subtitles on YouTube, as this interview was recorded in Polish. A big thank you to Wujek Bohun for taking the time to visit us and sharing his story! We hope you enjoy this latest episode of SCS On The Road, and don't forget to drop a like and subscribe if you liked it. Until next time, keep on truckin'!

October has come to an end, and we're excited to share the results of this year's efforts! Throughout the month, our #BestCommunityEver came together once again to support an important cause, helping us turn our shared passion for trucking into something that reaches far beyond the virtual roads. We're incredibly happy to announce that, thanks to your support of our Pink Ribbon Charity Packs for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, we have raised 32,000 USD! This achievement wouldn't have been possible without you. Every charity pack purchased, every screenshot shared, and every bit of awareness spread throughout the community helped contribute to this result. It's always inspiring to see how our players come together when there's an opportunity to support something meaningful. As with previous years, 100% of the proceeds from the Pink Ribbon Charity Packs will go towards supporting the Alliance of Women with Breast Cancer, helping them continue their valuable work for people in need. Of course, breast cancer awareness shouldn't be limited to a single month of the year. Pinktober gives us a special opportunity to bring more attention to the subject, but staying informed, encouraging regular check-ups, and supporting those affected should remain important throughout the year. Every conversation and every effort to spread awareness can make a difference. To everyone who took part in Pinktober 2026, whether by purchasing a charity pack, sharing your creations, or simply helping spread the word, thank you! Your generosity has once again shown just how much good…

ATS Nevada Rework: Reno and Carson City Rebuilt from Scratch
The Nevada Rework for American Truck Simulator continues to take shape, and a new developer post focuses on the urban centers getting the most significant treatment: Reno and Carson City.
What changed
Reno has been completely rebuilt from scratch, with greater detail, updated scenery, and an improved road network
The team aimed to better capture the city's character and scale while preserving recognizable elements from the original map
New details have been added throughout for players to find
Carson City, Nevada's state capital, is also featured, described as offering a distinct atmosphere from Reno with historic streets and government buildings
The post notes Reno's highway network connects to destinations across Nevada and into California
The announcement, authored by London and published September 30, 2026, frames both cities as part of a broader Nevada Rework project — though the full scope, release timing, and treatment of other Nevada locations were not detailed in this installment.
For drivers who have spent time in the original Nevada map, the promise of ground-up reconstruction suggests meaningfully different routes and landmarks rather than a light visual refresh.

American Truck Simulator 1.61 Adds Proximity Exploration to Map Discovery
SCS Software has released the 1.61 update for American Truck Simulator, now live on Steam. The centerpiece of the update is Proximity Exploration, a quality-of-life addition to the game's map discovery system.
What changed
Proximity Exploration automatically reveals a small area of the map around your vehicle as you travel, rather than requiring you to drive over every individual road segment to mark it explored.
The feature is optional and can be enabled or disabled by the player.
It assists with revealing road segments near dense locations such as rest stops, toll gates, border crossings, and gas stations, where multiple roads often cluster together.
Secret roads are partially protected: Proximity Exploration will reveal only the first segment of a secret road when you draw near — enough for a hint, but the rest must be found manually.
The update follows an Open Beta and a separate 1.61 Experimental Beta. Two features tested during that experimental phase — the Multi-Function Display (MFD) and a revised In-Game Menu — were not included in this release; the developer states they will arrive in a future update after further refinement.
For players pursuing 100% map completion, Proximity Exploration removes one of the more tedious friction points of that goal while leaving intentional mysteries intact.
