A steering wheel that's finally changing careers

We’re used to rims under 300 mm designed for the track. With the TSW Truck Wheel, MOZA has created the first steering wheel designed from the ground up for trucks. The rim measures 400 mm—about 16 inches—which is very close to the size of a real heavy-duty truck steering wheel. As soon as you put your hands on it, it’s a whole new experience. Your movements become sweeping and slow, much like those of a truck driver maneuvering his rig.

400 mm between the hands

The first thing you notice is the diameter and weight. This large rim encourages a natural grip, with genuine arm movements rather than wrist adjustments. The rim is covered in perforated, textured microfiber, offering excellent grip and a pleasant feel. Your hands glide smoothly over the rim, which is useful when navigating roundabouts and parallel parking at the curb. The structure is built around a 4-mm aluminum inner frame, with polymer composite sidewalls and hub. It’s sturdy and functional, with a few plastic parts that remind you that practicality takes precedence over luxury.

On the road, kilometer after kilometer

It’s in-game that the TSW really comes into its own. In Euro Truck Simulator 2, the steering blew us away with its precision. On a long straight stretch, you can correct your course with a single finger without the truck veering off course, and that stability matters when you’re keeping a trailer in its lane for kilometers. On tight ramps or at roundabouts, the large steering wheel diameter allows for sharp turns, giving you a distinct sense of the truck’s weight shifting as you navigate the curve. Shifting gears manually becomes a pleasure, and you’ll quickly switch off cruise control to really take the wheel. The row of RGB LEDs at the top of the rim reacts to engine RPM and helps you shift gears without taking your eyes off the road. You may need to adjust the steering calibration in ETS2 from time to time, but once you find the right setting, the illusion of holding a real truck steering wheel is striking.

During long sessions

Trucking involves long drives, and that’s where this steering wheel makes a difference. The microfiber remains comfortable even after several hours, and your hands won’t slip. The large diameter distributes the force evenly across your arms instead of straining your wrists, so driving across Europe in one go never feels like a chore. The buttons have a crisp click that inspires confidence over time, and you quickly get into the habit of activating the turn signals and headlights without even thinking about it. You finish a leg of the trip with the feeling that you’ve really been on the road.

Buttons, dials, and joysticks

The controls are designed for the cockpit. There are 14 short-travel buttons, backlit in RGB with 16.7 million colors, plus two aluminum dials and two four-way mini joysticks. Everything is within easy reach without having to let go of the steering wheel. You can assign turn signals, headlights, horn, windshield wipers, trailer control, and cruise control to the expected locations. The dials work very well for controlling the radio and menus, while the joysticks are used to navigate the interface. You’ll need to spend a little time in the MOZA Pit House software to map everything out, but once it’s set up, the immersion is total, and your hands stay on the steering wheel just like in a real cockpit.

Installation and Compatibility

The TSW attaches via a clamp to a 3- to 70-mm plate or mounts on an aluminum profile. An optional truck mount offers angle adjustment from 0 to 75 degrees to match the elevated position of a truck driver’s seat. It operates both wired and wirelessly, with an all-aluminum quick-release mount. Most importantly, it isn’t locked into a specific ecosystem: it’s compatible with all MOZA bases, as well as third-party bases via the MOZA adapter (sold separately). Keep in mind that a steering wheel alone isn’t enough—a force feedback base is still essential—and the target platforms are PCs running ETS2 and American Truck Simulator.

Who is this for?

The TSW Truck Wheel isn’t an everyday purchase. It’s a niche device—and it proudly admits it—aimed at truck simulation enthusiasts who are ready to invest in dedicated equipment. For this audience, it’s currently the most authentic way to experience long-haul drives. For a race car driver, the appeal is limited, but anyone who spends their evenings on the roads of Europe or America will find a true travel companion here.
