Seeing this warning was odd at first due to this being an off-roading simulator. Two of the trucks, the Bison and LTL9000, are specifically marked for “not being suitable for off-roading”. These big rigs would be right at home in American Truck Simulator, but boy does Spintires: MudRunner put a beating on them. But, what sets the American Wilds content apart are the new vehicles, specifically the transport trucks: the Chevrolet Bison, Ford LTL9000, Freightliner FLD120, and Western Star 6900XD. As expected, both have multiple ways to solve the returning objective of delivering lumber to the Lumber Mill. I quickly learned that this DLC is deserving of the name ‘ American Wilds’.Įach of the two new maps is still fairly big. But, in typical Spintires fashion, I was duped. I was led to believe this due to there being a lot more asphalt roads than the original Russian maps. In fact, it felt even easier than the original maps, which are based in Russia. At first glance, everything seemed straightforward. I jumped straight into Grizzly Creek as my first introduction to the new content. The devs have also added two new Challenges, along with nine new American-made vehicles.

As the first paid-DLC pack for MudRunner, I think it’s safe to say that the new content is worth it for any Spintires fan.Īmerican Wilds builds upon the existing content in Spintires: MudRunner by introducing two new sandbox maps: Grizzly Creek and Mount Logmore.

Now, the rough-and-tough 4×4 sim has returned to take players into the backwoods of Montana and North Dakota, USA with the new American Wilds expansion. Its complex off-road physics and realistic handling blew me away, making it one of my favorite driving simulators ever. I was introduced to the Spintires series with the original release of Spintires: MudRunner when it launched back in Fall 2017.
