Long hauls, changing roads and the slow rhythm of handling a heavy rig give the driving a pleasantly unhurried feel. Weather and daylight keep familiar routes from feeling completely static, while truck tuning adds just enough room for personal preference. The upgraded visuals also make the cab and roadside scenery easier on the eyes.
Several American rigs can be driven and tweaked, covering both looks and mechanical setup. Content that would normally require real-money purchases in the in-game store has been unlocked for free, so there is less need to spend extra just to access the available goodies.
