American Truck Simulator Setup: Complete PC Shopping List
This is a complete American Truck Simulator setup for a Windows PC and automatic transmission. It starts with a truck style wheel, matched direct drive base, pedals, and desk clamp, then adds one selected computer, ultrawide display, keyboard and mouse. A headset and powered USB hub are optional additions.
Looking for a lower-cost start on a Windows PC? We sell two parts directly: the GTR RS30 wheel with two pedals, $249.99, and the GTR RSH3 shifter, $89.99. The RS30 is a 10.5-inch racing wheel rather than a truck-style wheel, so check game support and mounting first. Prices checked November 3, 2026, before shipping and tax.
The first five listed items form the selected electronics core. You also need a strong non-glass desk, adjustable chair, a way to stop the pedals and chair from moving, American Truck Simulator, room-specific cables, and safe power. The subtotal including both optional extras is $2,147.16 before shipping and tax.
Starting with no equipment? Choose the five core products below, then add the headset or powered hub only if needed. You do not need a cockpit, clutch, shifter, truck stalks, or triple monitors to begin driving with automatic transmission.
Already have a suitable PC and display?
Start with the selected MOZA Trucking Bundle, $459.99 USD, including the R5 base, truck wheel, two pedals and truck clamp. The PC, display, game, desk and chair are separate. Check the current seller listing and your mounting needs before ordering.

Choose your trucking setup
- Desk setup: Choose the core items and any needed extras below, then provide a strong desk, adjustable chair and secured pedals. This is the current ready-to-shop starting point.
- Compact rig: Use the same electronics with a movable or foldable structure that provides an upright seat, a flatter truck-wheel angle and secured pedals. Confirm exactly how the R5 base attaches before buying the structure.
- Preferred full rig: Use the same electronics with a permanent truck-style cockpit or compatible aluminum-profile structure, upright seat, dedicated display support and reachable mounting for later shifter, stalk and button controls.
The subtotal below includes the selected electronics and both optional extras. A compact or full structure, its seat, mounts and display support are additional.

What this version intentionally leaves out
- Manual shifter, clutch, range and splitter controls
- Truck stalks and secondary button panels
- Cockpit, dedicated seat, or monitor stand
- Game, downloadable maps, and other software
- Room-specific cables, power equipment, and cable management
Starting with automatic transmission reduces cost and removes several mounting and compatibility questions. Add specialized controls after confirming game support and a comfortable location for each device.
Before ordering
Confirm desk thickness and stability, chair and pedal movement, truck-wheel clamp clearance, current game support, the exact computer configuration, monitor support, ports, cables, and delivery estimates. The $459.99 MOZA Trucking Bundle is used here because its listing explicitly includes the truck-wheel clamp.
