Tow to Road Feature: A New Quality of Life Addition in 1.59

The team at SCS Software is happy to reveal a new feature that will be available in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator with the upcoming release of the 1.59 update. The Tow to Road feature 1.59 is designed to improve quality of life for players by reducing frustrating situations during gameplay.

How Tow to Road Works

The Tow to Road feature 1.59 allows drivers to quickly recover if their truck overturns or gets stuck in a ditch or uneven terrain. It will also help prevent disruptions in multiplayer sessions. Players can continue with their convoy when they find themselves stuck. Without needing to be towed to a service location, which could cause unnecessary delays.

When you are in a difficult situation, simply find the new “Tow to Road” button under the Service menu (set to F7 by default). After paying a small fee for the towing service. You will be transported to your last safe location on the road.

Important Details to Know

Be careful about a few important details. If you disconnect your trailer beforehand, it will remain in its original position. Only the truck will be towed. Additionally, if you move too far away from your last safe position on the road. The Tow to Road feature 1.59 may become unavailable to prevent misuse of the feature.

Tow to Road vs. Tow to Service

The team is keeping the Tow to Service feature as well, as it serves a different purpose. Tow to Service is intended for situations involving heavy vehicle damage, where driving is no longer possible and repairs are required. Tow to Road, on the other hand, is primarily used to quickly return the vehicle to a drivable position on the road.

The team hopes players will appreciate this new addition. For more on the 1.59 update, check out our 1.59 update preview and ATS 1.59 features overview.
