America was built on the pickup truck, and for the past few decades trucks have remained the most popular-selling vehicles by a wide margin in the U.S.A. The Chevy pickup, through all its incarnations, has remained a staple in business fleets and personal use for as long as most people can remember.

As long as people have owned pickups, they’ve modified them for a wide range of uses, including the always-popular pastime of mudding.

If you’re really into mudding, and Chevy trucks, then you’re going to love this next video. because that is all that it is. No deep philosophical double meanings, no drag racing, nothing but mud and Chevys ahead.
