What it is
Trucks & Trailers is a truck-driving simulation from SCS Software, released in 2011. It focuses on driving challenges rather than a general route-based description: players complete courses and tasks that test reversing with a trailer, arranging vehicles in a yard and precise parking. The store description lists 50 individual challenges and says difficulty can be increased as skills improve. At the highest setting, external camera views are disabled, leaving drivers to maneuver with in-cab mirrors. The game includes single-player, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and leaderboards. Steam also lists partial controller support, Remote Play Together and Family Sharing. Its listed genre is simulation, and the Steam platform listing is Windows. The game is published by SCS Software, which is also listed as its developer.
