Freightliner Trucks is an American truck manufacturer featured in American Truck Simulator.

Owned by Daimler AG since 1981, Freightliner is a part of Daimler subsidiary Daimler Trucks North America (along with Western Star, Detroit Diesel, and Thomas Built Buses).
Freightliner Trucks was the next and last truck brand featured after Western Star Trucks. The Freightliner Cascadia was added to the game on December 2, 2020, along with the 1.39 update.
It was firstly featured in the 18 Wheels of Steel series under the fake names Frisk and Forerunner.
