Thanks guys, I'm not sure how many finalists there are. There were a lot of entries, and it just depends who's truck & story shoots better as far as which video will be used. It should be a fun experience either way!

Congratulations! Have fun out here in Kalifornia! Are you driving your rig out here for the filming or trucking it? I see a road trip coming on the "Mother Road" from Chi-town to Cali. Get your kicks on route 66.

Happy Motoring.

all i can say is it would take a pretty kickass setup to beat out your truck for the final win.

i'd bet the farm you sir, have this contest wrapped up.

look forward to seeing the final video/TV ads.

From the info I've received, looks like 4 finalists for the video. They may use more than one too.

The video shoot was yesterday. All went well. 9 hours of setup & filming for a 3 minute video. The whole crew was nice & very helpful. We only used my 09 F550 wrecker. The 2011 Rollback in the contest was not used. Can't wait to see the finished product!

I'm not sure. I would think within a month. They were still downloading video to a computer in the motor home 4 hours after I left!
