If you want a long haul across the American desert and a snowy mountain pass on the same phone, Truck Simulator USA is built for that. It is a simulation game by Ovidiu Pop, released on January 17, 2017, and listed in the truck games and driving simulators categories. Google Play shows it as free, with over 50 million installs.
Free to install, with ads and purchases
Truck Simulator USA costs nothing to start, though it shows ads and sells in-app purchases.
Its Everyone content rating covers the long hauls across America, Canada and Mexico. For steering you can pick tilt, buttons or a virtual wheel, and anyone who wants a more hands-on drive can switch to the manual H-Shifter with clutch.
Manual gearbox, tilt steering and three countries
Driving covers the USA, Canada and Mexico, with desert, snow, mountain and city settings. You can steer by tilting the device, with buttons or with a virtual wheel. A manual transmission with an H-shifter and clutch is included for players who want more than automatic driving.
The truck lineup mixes American and European brands, and engine sounds such as V8 and Cummins are included. A British lorry and prototype electric trucks are also mentioned.
Beyond driving, the game offers career mode, online multiplayer, parking practice, warehouse purchases, visual and mechanical damage, and a weather system with snow, rain and sun.
Version 10.0.24 and device requirements
The current version is 10.0.24, last updated on June 19, 2026. It needs Android 7.1 or newer. Nine years of updates since the 2017 release suggest the developer keeps maintaining it.
