World of Trucks: Cruising South Dakota Event

With the release of our South Dakota DLC, we invite you all to join us on Thursday, the 24th of September, for the newest World of Trucks event - Cruising South Dakota! Roll through the Mount Rushmore State and take in its wide-open landscapes, natural beauty and rich history.

So, what is the challenge? Haul cargo to or from any city in South Dakota and help the community reach a collective goal of 150,000,000 miles (241,402,000 km). With the strength of our #BestCommunityEver, we know you will smash it! 

Hit the road by #CruisingSouthDakota, where vast prairies meet the rugged Black Hills and the otherworldly Badlands, with long crossings over the Missouri River along the way. But this land carries far more than scenery, it holds stories that reach deep into the past. The Black Hills, known to the Lakota people as Paha Sapa, are sacred ground, while Badlands National Park preserves one of the richest fossil beds on Earth. This is where giants like SUE the T. rex slept for millions of years before being discovered.

During your travels, you can look forward to many spectacular views and highlights, such as:

• Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the iconic monument carved into a granite face in the Black Hills.
• Badlands National Park, a dramatic maze of layered rock spires and buttes unlike anywhere else in America.
• Deadwood, the legendary gold rush town where Wild Bill Hickok played his final hand.
• Missouri River crossings, where the great river divides the rolling east from the rugged west of the state.

As with past Cruising events, you can also participate using your own trailer by selecting jobs from the External Market!

The South Dakota DLC features 13 incredible cities to explore, and we're offering an exclusive reward for completing your personal goal, which will require you to deliver a job to or from all of them. All jobs for the event must be at least 100 miles (161 km) long.

Take part in this breathtaking journey across the Great Plains, from South Dakota's sweeping landscapes and Black Hills to its frontier towns. Let's roll through the Mount Rushmore State!
