Check it out. The Nexen booth today featured our Publisher Tim Esterdahl talking with host Michael Caudill, also of Chasing Horsepower and Fox News, about trucks and why Tim is so harsh on automakers at times. Good times!

That time when you are installing a @deckedusa drawer system and the instructions either didn’t include a needed step or you missed a step to tighten some key bolts. Choices were: pull it all back out OR send in the skinny teenager. I think we made a good choice! #trucktalk

Hello everyone, I need your help. I recently received some feedback that got me to think about various aspects of the business, and I'm considering publishing a more structured schedule of videos instead of posting daily, as I've been doing for years. There is some YouTube fatigue out there, and tossing in YouTube shorts seems like the way to go to keep things fresh. Granted if there was breaking news I'd run that video, but I'm thinking of scaling back on publishing videos as often as I have been. I'd keep the Friday truck news recap show, but I'd run videos on say Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Thoughts?

Are you watching less YouTube and would prefer a schedule of videos like the Friday news recap show?

Jill and I have decided to part ways after an amazing 5 years! She will still appear on the channel from time to time, but will transition into a freelance contributor role. You can find her on her own YouTube channel (link below) and on many social media platforms. I'd like to personally thank Jill for all of her hard work over the years. It was a mutual decision with no hard feelings.

Sometimes the sunset lighting is just right after a brief thunderstorm with the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO.
