Making and release

The first installment, Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel, was released in 2002.[2] Across America, released in 2003, updated graphics and added a map covering the entire continental U.S. with 30 cities.[3] Pedal to the Metal, released in 2004, expanded the map to include northern Mexico and southern Canada.[4] Convoy, released in 2005, allowed travel through the U.S. and southern Canada but removed Mexican cities.[5]

Haulin, released in 2006, added more cities and realistic graphics but also excluded Mexico.[6] Extreme Trucker, released in 2009, changed the series concept by focusing on three specific hazardous routes.[7] Extreme Trucker 2, released in 2011, added Montana and Bangladesh as locations.[8]
