I would assume if you're here you are subscribed to Pickup Truck Plus Suv, so, that's a given. I'm curious what some of you are watching besides Tim for content.
Here's my list: (No specific order but MeatEater is BY FAR #1 and I don't hunt...always wanted to)
TFL (Truck and Off-Road) - My first introduction to truck review YouTube. They're at their best when they have 3-4 vehicles at the same time and take them on a trip for comparison reviews.
Vice Grip Garage (Derek Bieri) - Made a name for him self doing 1-2 hour long barn find restorations on older vehicles. Not restorations really but getting them back on the road. Great guy that's easy to listen to. One of the funnier dudes I watch. The best by the ear mechanic I've ever seen.
Truck King (Howard and Stephen Elmer) - Father son Combo, son (Stephen) was on TFL as a guest for a while and now does his own thing. Similar to TFL Off road but they have property set up in a way that actually compares like vehicle performance off road. Truck focused.
Driving Sports TV (Ryan Douthit) - Great hands on review content. Plus, he's in my neck of the woods the PNW so I relate to his content and recognize where he is doing most of his testing. Good solid breakdowns of the vehicles. All types of vehicles.
Meateater (Steven Rinella) - Favortie channel by far. Hunting, Convservation, History... all things hunting/fishing with a nod towards biology and education.
Tinkerer's Garage - Engineer who is an overlander and mostly Toyota based. Hands down the best content on technical aspects of various off road issues. Sway bars, wheel travel etc. Doesn't make a TON of videos but when he does they're extremely informational.
Dons Life - Introduced to him as an AT4 owner who's specialty is modifying his vehicles and walking you through the process. Currently has a GMC AT4, Chevy Corvetter and Cadillac Escalade. Will probably be unsubscribing soon to make room for Texas Trucks. Nothing against him I'm just done with my truck and don't plan on doing any more mods to it. You don't have to have one of his vehicles to watch, his guides go over a ton of stuff applicable to any vehicle.
Soon to be possibly subscribed to:
The Getty Adventures - Reviews trucks from the perspective of a heavy duty diesel mechanic and towing review videos. I really like his insights but I'm not 100% sold yet. Definitely RAM heavy and a little biased.
Texas Trucks - New guys I've been watching and then recently saw them on PT+. Seem to do a good job and I REALLY appreciate the back and forth and differening opinions. I think that's why I liked TFL so much early on, two people allow for more opinions and calling bullshit when needed.
I'm picky and don't subscribe to a ton but watch all of their content pretty religously.
