What is your favorite Interstate in American Truck Simulator?
EDITED 11/1/23 (Poll Updated with more options):
So, I decided to start this thread mainly because I am curious about your favorite interstate currently in ATS!
Currently, there are 27 Interstates that I count in American Truck Simulator as of the Texas DLC release, also including 10 other (3-digit) interstates like I-405 and I-180.
Of the 27 2-digit Interstates, 14 highways (I-2, I-5, I-8, I-11, I-14, I-17, I-19, I-25, I-27, I-37, I-45, I-82, I-84 West, and I-86) are complete, there are many more 3 digit interstate complete as well but those I just listed are the main highways in the game.
So, what is your favorite Interstate in the game? Do you have a least favorite interstate in the game? I will go first!
My favorite interstate currently is I-90, I-90 is a masterpiece from the west end to the current east end in Gillette Wyoming. I also really like I-70 too at the moment and I think I-35 is going to be a blast to drive on when more states like Oklahoma and Kansas come out soon.
I can tell you one or two interstates I don't like, I don't like I-17 in the game currently, especially with an aging Arizona, I probably won't change my opinion until Arizona gets a refresh, I don't really like I-8 that much but that's due to it's road network in real life.

Re: What is your favorite Interstate in American Truck Simulator?
I-84 is my favorite without a doubt. I drive between Portland and Salt Lake City in ATS all the time, and I never get board of that route. It offers everything I love about highways, straight flat sections through rural places, as well as sections with more lanes through suburban and urban areas. It reminds me a lot of the driving I do on the Interstates in real-life such as I-81 and I-70 (the part in Maryland and Pennsylvania).
For me, my least favourite Interstate in ATS is I-10, mostly because of how unrealistically portrayed it is in California. I'm hoping as the California rework moves south, SCS can touch up I-10, especially adding the missing section of it between I-5 and CA-1 in Los Angeles. I'm very much looking forward to having more of I-10 with Texas, hopefully much better than I-10 in California.

I was tempted to vote for I-70 right away because of its scenery, but I went with I-80.
Probably the Interstate I've travelled most in the game is I-40. up until Idaho really fleshed out the PNW, I've found myself running the Kingman-Albuquerque corridor over and over and over again, and I couldn't wait for I-80 to become an alternate east/west corridor. Now with Wyoming, I feel that's been achieved. I just did a job from Rock Springs to Reno, and even though the highway in Nevada doesn't hold up, the road feels much more complete. Maybe it's because now the eastern end is at an actual city instead of the middle of nowhere, or that it's out of the desert and the Great Basin, or over the Great Divide; whatever it is, it feels more like a proper, almost complete highway now.

Handy maps and diagrams.
Furthermore, I consider that I-80 across Nevada must be redone next.

I-70 is best one still after Wyoming, but I-5 California least like especially north of grapevine and I-580 as old segments of roads and textures. I-5 will getting better south of Sacramento.
Re: What is your favorite Interstate in American Truck Simulator?
Interstate 84 for me. Interstate 70 is good too, but it's shorter for the time being. Every interstate through California has to be rebuilt too. I-84 on the other hand is complete and offers a wide variety of terrain that one never gets bored despite passing through it many times.

I said 70 as well: 80 in Wyoming felt too urban, 5 feels wrong from irl experience, and 84 is a patchwork of good and bad.
70 has proper hills, good rest areas, nice scenery, and more. Probably the height of SCS interstate map building at this point.
For modded maps, I-80 courtesy of Team Reforma is my favorite.

Re: What is your favorite Interstate in American Truck Simulator?
I went with I-70. Deserts, rock formations, canyons, mountains, the big city of Denver, and wide open plains. It has it all. All beautifully sculpted and modeled, too. Once we get I-90 through Montana, that might steal the crown away. IRL 90 through MT is absolutely stunning.
Least favorite is the CA/NV stretch of I-80. A wild ride of steep hills, sharp curves, and they're all very sudden, all with outdated textures and scenery.

I-84 and I-70 for me.
I went with 70 simply because that run through Colorado in the mountains is too gorgeous. Anytime I get a load going one way or another through there, it's the only road I'm giddy (giddy? eh, can't think of a more suitable word) about driving on.

Re: What is your favorite Interstate in American Truck Simulator?
I'm not sure what my favourite Interstate is, I guess I'll go for I-70 because of Colorado.
But I can easily tell you what my least favourite one is: I-40. I'm just sick of it. Back when there were only 3-4 states, pretty much every long-distance job took me through it. Driving up and down the same desert over and over grew old really fast.

Re: What is your favorite Interstate in American Truck Simulator?
I also think it's hard to pick one favorite interstate. The I-70 is probably best because all sections are relatively recent as it was introduced with the Utah DLC. I-80 in Utah and Wyoming, I-5 in Oregon and Washington, I-84 in western Oregon and through Idaho, I-15 from Las Vegas north, I-90 in Washington are all great interstate sections.
Least favorite is probably I-8 or I-10 in California, because there's just nothing special to them. Also not a fan of I-84 in eastern Oregon with the very tight turns + the fact I've driven that a million times.
