Me: I hate long drives. Also me: Oooo Jeff is going to drive on his computer. I should watch awhile.

Idk how I managed to sit and watch this all the way through. It's just a semi driving

I live in grand Junction and I’m very impressed with the detail they managed to capture in the town, and nearby areas as well! And yes, they do have a lot of one way streets here, the one you drove on when mentioning that was perfectly modeled. It will be cool to see a snow mod considering it has snowed here a few times over the last couple of weeks! (And Yes Jeff you said Montrose right)

That intersection where the car pulled out in front of you at 31:09 is actually how most people that I've seen in colorado springs drive.

That strange intersection is called a "diverging diamond." Supposedly, it is an alternative to roundabouts, but all they do is confuse and confound. Give me roundabouts any day.

Just drove this, what a phenomenal experience, the whole state is absolutely beautiful

Jeff: WOAH DUDE AI: Im About To End This Man's Whole Career

Watched this over my morning coffee, didn't pay attention to where it was. Playing ATS in VR after work last night I hauled a RMD of Milk through here randomly. Didn't realize where I was untill I was a few turns in! Beautiful!

I took a trip to the million-dollar highway from Durango to Ouray this last summer, not in a truck but in an Audi. I am thoroughly impressed with this detail. I was recognizing that same tunnels, mountain ranges, and even some of the houses on the side. This DLC is incredibly well done and I must try it out myself.

I live in rangely Colorado and to see it in this game is so cool! This is by far my favorite video on ATS that Jeff has done, just bcuz it’s so close to home for me, like I’ve driven Douglas pass so many times and to see it in this game, and how realistic and spot on it is, it’s so amazing!

A good bit of my family including my dad and two aunts live over in Montrose. My dad actually lives just up a hill from the airport. Was more excited than i expected to see it on ATS lol

watching from Grand Junction! Way cool to see how recognizable it is. That crossover intersection by the truck stop is really there! Haha, fun video Jeff keep em coming.

cant wait to take an heavy haul through that pass with Pinga's Peter build, going to be so fun to ride the jakes.

I have been on this highway in real life and oh my goodness, it is beautiful! SCS did a great job of Colorado for this sim.

Love it man, the wheel set up looks AMAZING and congrats on the new PC man keep on keeping on!

What a cool video, thanks Jeff! Nice truck and a great run! I look forward to seeing that runaway truck ramp test video! By the way, nice setup! Thanks again for the cool video!

I’m from Durango and know this route like the back of my hand. Pretty accurate all things considered. Of course they had to cut things out for obvious reasons but the things they did put in was pretty accurate! All things considered, Great representation of Southwest Colorado!

Hey Jeff hope your having a amazing day and good bless you brother

Nice vid Jeff! - Very relaxing to watch this scenery

Hey Jeff this summer I'm going to buy one of those little Geo Metro cars that gets like 45 miles to the gallon and I'm roadtriping from Oregon down to Durango to see the narrow gauge railroad there and experience Colorado, a state I've never been to.

That perterbuilt you used today is my favorite semi truck ever.

This is such a cool video to me. I love these videos, especially because i live right in a small town where highway 160 and 84 meet. It’s east of durango!

i stayed in ouray last year and drove that hwy. when i woke up in the morning the mountain peaks were covered in snow. really cool town and scenery in that area.

This is amazing. I just recently purchased a gaming PC, wheel, pedals, and TackIR. I can't wait to get this game and DLCs and start driving.

“Driver” is modeled after Pilot & Flying J (same company). “Hearts” is modeled after Love’s. Having been to GJ, they modeled that Pilot perfectly. I hate going to that Pilot IRL. I’m surprised they didn’t include the TA at that exit, or anywhere in the game.

Everywhere he's been in Grand junction is realistic

The million dollar road reminds me so much of South Dakota and the black hills. I have a 1996 Chevy truck with true duals turbo tubes out the sides with no cats and the sound bounces out of trees here in Kansas just driving down the road, I can’t imagine going down a road and putting the truck into third or second and not using the breaks and letting the pipes work, that would sound so good with them cracking down the road

There are many towns that have one way highways through town. Including Alamosa.

Watching from the UK,loved every minute of it! 😅🤩

Coming out of Ouray was amazing the switch backs are very accurate. I was just there two weeks ago.

Amazing video, thanks for the content jeff

My grandpa was a truck driver until he wrecked 2 different trucks in 1 year and I said ur done and he agreed and how he’s working at electrical plant 🙏 thank god for keeping him safe through the wrecks and pain he went through

That was a beautiful drive. Thanks for the amazing content.

Very cool to see you going through Grand Junction since that is my hometown!! That truck stop you come to is the Pilot very spot on recreation of that truck stop. You are correct to the right is the Loves Truck Stop. That mural of the Mountains to the right when you first came into Grand Junction is very accurate the is an RV dealership called Centennial RV . Then yes the one way is very accurate the one you are on is called Pitkin Avenue. The park on the left hand side is known as Bum park where all the transients hang out. The to the North West is the Grand Junction police station. All spot on recreation. Then when you get into Montrose and yes you said it correctly. Yes that is Montrose Regional Airport. Then when you got to Main Street and the statue to the left is a a spot on recreation of the Tribute to the Cowboy. I am a delivery Driver and I have drove a 26' box truck on the Million Dollar Highway or "Red Mountain Pass" to the locals. That very first thing when you come out of Rangly is Douglas Pass with all the switch backs.

Yaay i am definitely going to pick up the dlc when it comes out and the game your videos are so detailed and i love it you are so likeable love you Jeff

1:01:39 "You got it boss" 🤣🤣, that was a great voice there 👌👌. There it is

That was another awesome video I enjoyed that alot and i loved it and I love that Blake Pete its a pretty truck and hope ur having a good week and keep up the great work much love to you jeff have a good one take care god bless and I will see you on the next one brother see ya later alligator

An hour and a half long video from Jeff? Now that's what I'm talking about! Will probably save it for Friday though when I have enough time

From 9:30 this section of road reminded me of the film Duel when he was being chased up the hill but it was all really slow, the dull engine noise that the truck made was very similar.

Love the ATS videos man.

I love these videos man keep it up

Thanks for the vid Jeff, keep up the good work! :)

They captured Montrose Drivers Perfectly. Ouray is like 'Yur Ray"

Those intersections are called “Diverging Diamonds”. They have some in St. Louis, Jeff. Dorsett and I270 has had one for about 7-8 years now.

If you want to see a cool Australian stretch of road that is somewhat similar, and narrower, shrouded entirely in Forrest, look up the black spur in Victoria... its on the maroondah highway

I used my last bit of internet to watch this video lol 😂 Great video! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm actually from Montrose Jeff I love that you went through there it is modeled so we'll it's awesome the airport was cool to see and you went straight through the heart or Montrose down Townsend that was awesome

I wouldn't mind super slick roads like ice but we need an option to chain up. That would be cool

Hey Jeff loved this video and could of watched it for another couple of hours

Yes! The beautiful Colorado!

I thought i will never watch you again Jeff since KZfaq was down 🥺

My fav thing to listen to are real realtime local radio stations via the ''Koen's Local Radio for ATS/ETS2'' add-on. I will never stop advertising for that. :))

The incident with the car that ran the right on red is exactly why when I got my actual CDL my instructor always told me to stop so I can see the stop line ahead of me. Gives myself time to react if someone does run a light

Great video Jeff keep up the great videos buddy. Live in denver Colorado

That engine brake is asmr for me lol

For me as non American, Colorado looks beautiful. SCS did some good work. The WesternStar truck has on both sides blinker light in the mirrows since 1.39 update.

i do really like the longer drives since i am a fan of ATS it's a relaxing game to play or watch.

I was in the national guard and had to drive from Denver to Alamosa for the weekends. Would wake up around 0130 to get to formation around 0600. Thats a brutal drive especially once your on 160 to wolf creek pass.

nice vid bud keep up te great work

Jeff: i you didn’t know, i’m on my new pc!!! Me: I didn’t know you needed a new one?

what amazing long trip in ATS Jeff

The one way split road in junction is spot on They do that to increase capacity without buying and knocking down property. Can’t believe how close they got the look and feel!

It took a while for me to like those cross-over interchanges. It felt weird driving on the wrong side of the road, but they are affective at keeping the traffic moving, though!

ridden that highway a couple years ago leaving telluride to Santa fe, astonishing

good video I love your ats videos so much 👍

I think I either have the New Mexico DLC, or the Colorado DLC, either way I cannot wait to get all the bits you yourself have to play the Colorado DLC. Now all I need is a computer to run it! Haha. Forgot to add, if I were you on that mountain going down, I’d go full speed and just hit the ramp. I would straight up wolf creek pass this here mountain, hopefully not fly off a cliff.

Not gonna watch the vid yet because I want everything to be new for me when I buy it tomorrow. Just stopped by to leave a like 👍

Great video! Finally, youtube is back up!

Glad to see they got the montrose drivers dialed in correctly lol. Still better drivers than we have down here in grand junction.

@34:30 that town is Ouray and you say it like your-a and i love that little town me and my family vacationed there a few years back and rented jeeps to take on the mountain trails there! also little known fact if you watch the Netflix series The Ranch, Ouray is the little town that's in the opening scene of the show!

The hearts(loves) is accessible when you make a right turn at the light, go to the end of the road and make another right. Its almost exactly the same IRL as the game. That flying J can be kinda weird to navigate when its busy.

Keep up the good work on vids of ats I really want to play this game seeing you play this game really caught my attention game looks really satisfying to play I gaming PC to play the game but I haven't bought the game yet and keep up the good work on ats multiplayer convoy with boys don't stop giving Dave a hard time all you boys r good hearted

Lol that's crazy I grew up in the Fruita and Mack area and the detail is pretty good Loma is a bit bigger than that when coming off that highway but you take what you can from there lol

Jeff I’ve been watching your videos for several years now, I LOVE five pd btw. I was an OTR car hauler for almost 20 years and I hate how nit picky people are on your videos my last truck was a 2011 Peterbuilt with an Acert Cat and an 18 speed with a Cotrel high side trailer you do a great job I think you could drive a real one with just a little help you are doing a great job keep it up

You should do a sim tour. Would love to see your setup cause it seems super realistic.

When I play ATS I listen to podcasts or Truckers FM or Truck Sim Radio I use the Hori racing wheel and pedals with the g29 shifter

Nice love this dlc can’t wait 👍

Dammit Jeff you make me buy too many games, now I gotta buy this one.

The one way roads are definitely a big thing in western Colorado. I'm from Grand Junction. It's very shrunken down in game, but it looks pretty similar.

"There are many legends about how the highway got its name. Some say it was named for the million-dollar views. Others claim the nickname stuck after would-be road-trippers claimed they wouldn’t drive the highway for a million dollars. But the name actually came from a planning meeting in the 1920s where, while discussing rebuilding the highway between Ouray and Silverton, someone at the meeting remarked that the project would cost a million dollars - an incredible sum for such a short span of road construction at the time. Once construction was complete, the name stuck, and the Million Dollar Highway was born." Source: Travel Awaits

Stuck working out of town, I will not get to play this until Saturday most likely. I came across a herd of cattle in the middle of CO 50 one time just east of Montrose.

I live in Montrose about and hour or so from Grand Junction and this is awesome to see

The million dollar highway reminds me of driving anywhere in Maine, but more specifically Acadia National Park

me: "one more video" the time: 11:30 PM me not realizing an hour and a half passed: "HOLY CRAP ITS 1 25 AM on a school night"

Can't wait to see that PC!!!

I did a two way trip from Raton to Bellingham from Bellingham to Raton pretending to do a two way for my virtual company, it took me 4 ish ours and I really felt it after I stopped. I really didn't want to drive the next day XD.

Dam nice truck

Yessir a hour long episode

Nice setup

I love ur ats content

I live in Montrose Colorado 💯😂 and yes that's how grand junction is 💯

Good work JEFF

Around 18 min mark first time I’ve seen those intersections was in Gatlinburg/Knoxville, TN. They are interesting.

"This is a stretch of guardrail-less highway on the San Juan Skyway between Silverton, Colorado and Ouray, Colorado. It seems the origins of the name "Million Dollar Highway" are up for debate. It is thought that a million dollars worth of gold and precious minerals were paved over when creating the road" Thats what I found. As always, great video.

Awesome video.

27:00, the pair of one-ways. I don't know about Colorado, but Lindstrom, Minnesota has a similar setup.

Dammit Jeff, Having a good dream then I had to go pick you up and you wouldn't stop talking about trucks and woke up to this video.

Drove a 10 speed for about a year before, never used lowest gear for moving, always used 2nd if loaded or 3rd if empty. Only used 1st gear when I was starting uphill on a light. I really hated those.

Grew up in pueblo so i cant wait to play it

I live by montrose and I take that pass all the time in my pete! Its crazy how realistic they made it!
