Trivia[]

Due to the real-life parts shortage, Daimler Trucks North America had to discontinue the 48" Sleeper option from the 57X line-up. As the result, the 57X for ATS was released with only 2 cabs. Many modders take the 48" Sleeper and its customisation options files from the first version of the DLC and make the def file for it to make it available in the game as a MOD.
In real-life, it is a replacement of the 5700XE.
