SimTask Truck-40 Add-On Kit: Take Your Setup to the Next Level of Truck Simulation
What if you could finally hit the road with a genuine truck steering wheel in Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator? With the SimTask Truck-40, you can transform your setup into a true heavy-duty truck cockpit in just a few minutes.
Long-haul journeys, precision manoeuvres, winding roads and deliveries across Europe all take on a whole new dimension with a truck steering wheel. But if you’re still playing with a gamepad or a standard racing wheel, you might be wondering whether upgrading to dedicated equipment is really worth it.
The SimTask Truck-40 Add-On Kit is designed to help you take that next step. Featuring a 40 cm-diameter steering wheel, an adjustable mounting bracket and integrated controls, it lets you adopt a more natural driving position and fully immerse yourself in the cab of your truck.
And here’s the good news: there’s no need to start from scratch. Installation is designed to be simple, quick and accessible, even if you’ve never built a dedicated trucking setup before.
A steering wheel designed to bring the truck cab experience to life
With its 40 cm diameter, the SimTask Truck-40 features the proportions of a heavy-duty truck steering wheel and takes inspiration from the design of iconic European trucks. It’s an immediately noticeable difference for anyone looking to enjoy a more authentic driving experience, closer to getting behind the wheel of a real truck.
But immersion isn’t just about steering wheel size. The dedicated metal mounting bracket allows you to position your Thrustmaster wheel base horizontally, recreating the typical steering angle found in heavy-duty truck cabs. With four height adjustment positions and an adjustable tilt of up to 30°, you can customise your driving station to suit your desk and personal preferences.
The 22 integrated action buttons also give you quick access to essential controls without constantly having to take your eyes off the road. Indicators, onboard functions and the horn: enjoy the controls and driving habits of a real trucker, and focus on what really matters – the journey ahead.
The result? A more natural, comfortable and immersive experience, especially during long-haul driving sessions.
Easy installation: your next step towards truck simulation
The SimTask Truck-40 is designed to integrate easily into your existing setup. Its mounting bracket consists of three main parts, assembly is quick, and height and tilt adjustments can be made without tools. Once installed on a compatible desk (with a thickness between 2 and 7 cm), all that’s left to do is attach your equipment, adjust your driving position and get ready for your first journey.
To help you get started, we’ve put together a video tutorial that walks you through setting up and using your new equipment.
Unbox it, set it up and hit the road
The experience starts as soon as you open the box. The kit includes the steering wheel, metal mounting bracket, fastening components and all the accessories needed for assembly. The two included Quick Release mounts ensure compatibility with supported Thrustmaster wheel base mounting systems.
Take a moment to identify the different components, assemble the bracket, then install your steering wheel and adjust its position. In just a few steps, your desk is transformed into a dedicated truck driving station.
Adjust your driving position to suit your style
The SimTask Truck-40 mounting bracket offers four preset height positions and an adjustable tilt of up to 30°.
The goal is simple: recreate a driving position closer to that of a real truck driver, with the steering wheel naturally positioned in front of you. It’s a small detail that makes a real difference when navigating every bend, roundabout and loading dock.
Configure your game and start your first delivery
Once your equipment is installed, it’s time to hit the road!
Depending on your platform and setup, you can check your game’s control settings and customise the button assignments to match your driving habits. The goal is to get you from installation to driving as quickly as possible, without getting bogged down in complicated settings.
Already own a Thrustmaster wheel? Keep your wheel base!
That’s one of the biggest advantages of the SimTask Truck-40: you don’t need to replace your entire setup to get into truck simulation.
Thanks to the two included Quick Release mounts – one designed for latch-based mounting systems and the other for screw-based mounting systems – the kit is designed to be compatible with existing and future Thrustmaster force feedback wheel bases, including older generations using supported mounting systems.
Currently compatible wheel bases:
- T818
- T598
- T300
- T-GT
- TS-XW
- TS-PC
Please note: The SimTask Truck-40 is an add-on kit. The force feedback wheel base is not included. Make sure to check the exact compatibility of your model, platform and accessories before purchasing.
