What this mod does
Adviser Top Bar Small HUD is another UI mod by Distiller. It removes the new tachometer, shrinks the map and moves it to the top of the screen, and gathers the gauges into a top bar. It’s the alternative for anyone who wants the bar without giving up the map; if you’d rather remove it completely, there’s Adviser Top Bar NO GPS.
What the bar shows
- Warning lights, fuel, lights and turn signals.
- Gear, cruise control, speed and speed limit.
- In-game time, fatigue monitor and a strip with the company name.
Version and screens
It only works on 1.59 or later. Version 1.61.1019 was released on October 19, 2026. It’s tested from 1920×1080 to 7680×1440, and in the comments the author shared a variant for ultrawide monitors. You can enable widgets and adjust transparency with the F6 key.
Add-ons and known issues
The author offers HUD mirror and tachometer add-ons in his collections. A user with the Volvo VNL 2025 reported that the radio widget covers the truck’s center screen; the author said he’ll look for a fix. In the meantime, you can set the radio to only show up when you change stations.
