    Sorry to say you'll never make the cut. You are too much into your truck, with good reason. They need you to say, "better than Toyota" or something to that extent and I don't see it happening. I don't say this to be demeaning, disrespectful or hurtful in any way. I wish you the best of luck but I'll be SUPER surprised if they can get you to say anything that they can use in a commercial. That said, I'm dying to see how this turns out!

    haha! I thought the same thing. But they interviewed me for over an hour. I told them exactly why I bought 2 tundras instead of the others (reliability). I also told them exactly what I do with my truck. They still want to put me in a Rebel, let me pick the trails, drive it for a day, and tell them what I think.

    Now, I'll give them my honest opinion. There's no way for me to test reliability unless the wheels fall off on the trail. They haven't given me the rules yet, but I don't plan on abusing it. I plan on driving it the way I would drive a stock toyota.

    And lets all be honest with each other shall we?? The tundra is boring AF. All toyotas are boooring. They are reliable and dependable but doesn't anybody want to admit that the other trucks are pretty? they have some fun features and they all get way better mpg. that Rebel looks pretty damn cool. If Ram was as durable and reliable as a tundra, I bet we'd all be driving one...

    Yep, honest opinion, that's what I'd expect you'd do. And, yes, there are other trucks that look BA, the Raptors often look pretty BA and I liked the look of the Rebel when I first saw it. The Tundra Pro falls well short of what a Raptor should be capable of and I wish Toyota would step up the game and make a REAL offroad challenger but I understand it's all about the money/ sales.
    I'm glad they chose you and can't wait to see this story unfold!

    I agree Rebels look badass and I wouldn’t doubt they will perform just as well as any brand. Unfortunately, you can’t test it past 100k miles. Basically the reason we all choose Toyota over the rest. But none the less, it’s badass you were chosen to be in the commercial. I can’t wait to see what happens next :fistbump:

    Plus that extra money is going to be nice :yes:

    haha! they mentioned something about money, but I can't imagine it will be anything significant.

    But imagine if they said something like, $100 for every positive thing you say about the Ram

    This is a possibility, I’ve been to a few TV show tapings and lots of shit gets edited out. But in Alex’s case, as long as he gets paid and they are loaning him a Rebel for day, that’s win win no matter what.
    @osidepunker take that bad boy to big bear and run the trails up there :D

    I guess if you don’t want to make the drive to big bear and do some easier shit, Azusa is close by or run up to the grapevine.

    Azusa OHV is pretty decent. A lot of mud and the gatekeeper is interesting. Not technical but watching people stall out in the middle of the creek is fun.

    Alex, let me know if you need a ride there. We can go pick up the Rebel and I'll follow you to the trails in your truck. Then when you get sick of the Dodge, you can have your truck back and I'll drive the Dodge. :thumbsup:
