Truck Night in America

I am not a bigot and do even like some country music, and I have hillbilly-like friends with many nice quirks, but these guys are over the top.
The trucks themselves are capable and i guess the drivers too shines thru sometimes.
But the way that they have to floor it and drive like fools to break something to make good TV makes me pick up the remote and switch channels.. Everyone doing offroading for more than two weeks knows that you cannot drive like that to make the car last thru the episode. Giving it just enough speed so they fall down on the belly to crack a transfer box or blow their transmission or break an axle.
Could someone please just make a good offroad/4x4 TV show?

Makes you want to hide behind the sofa cushions or crawl under your pillow.. This really should be a TV program right up my alley but the idiotic challenges and stupid american production and the inbred presenters with mullet-hairdo that clearly has voted Trump..

And what if the Heep had floored it long enough to beat the zuk?
Breakdown!
Given a big enough wallet It is possible to build a Jeep to not break down and other cars as well, you just have to build it right.
But for some reason, that isn't the best TV show it seems..
