The truth comes out.
I'm in the wrong business! All about social influence nowadaysIt's all about the revenue they get from the videos. Trash a brand new truck to get thousands of views to make money. Then they move on to another vehicle and do the same thing over and over and over.

I don't understand the negativity these youtube influencers receive. If you don't like, then don't watch. I don't see this guy abusing the truck by any means. It's a TRX, not a Lamborghini. This truck really should have been able to handle what he threw at it. The failure he experienced should not have happened. Is this guy the most knowledgeable vehicle enthusiast on the internet? No. But I don't see him doing anything wrong. I see a guy making a living following his passion.
I can see both sides and didnt want to incite a war of what’s right or wrong. I think I’m coming from the perspective of working hard to buy something nice and keeping it nice. I’m sure it’s the OCD coming out in me, but take great pride in keeping a clean, well-functioning fleet of vehicles and bikes.I agree, all the vids, especially the jump & fire guy only highlight these vehicles and make for interesting viewing.
I also agree this guy didn't look to do anything out of the ordinary during his drive, nothing should have broke the way he was using it. The only mistake he made was driving it after he saw the leak. He should have turned it off and had it towed back to the dealer, not driven.

He alludes to driving it much rougher before they started filming... complains about how heavy the front end is and how people knew what happened earlier. I think he probably did something stupid and didn’t release the video.I agree, all the vids, especially the jump & fire guy only highlight these vehicles and make for interesting viewing.

Agreed!when i clicked the linked and saw it was him i rolled my eyes.
ugh i really dislike his channel. he always titles his videos (why you should get x over y) but never addresses it in the video. he just borrows trucks from a dealer and walks you through the features. if you listen to his other videos it's clear he is not knowledgeable and it just frustrates me.
Don’t forget it also makes him money for each viewer. This is why they’re so many STUPID people making videos on YouTube. Go unsubscribe and watch his channel disappear.We are all currently helping him to achieve his goal. We are discussing his channel and driving his viewership creating curiosity. Some will like his content, some won't. Either way, he is accumulating Likes, Subscribers, and Comments which are essential to a successful channel.
Is the hood scoop functional? if so, he sucked a lung full of water when it went over the hood when he went in. OOOOPS!!!!!!
