Default Looking for best truck magazine

I am familiar with the basic magazines, Sport Truck, Truck Trends,etc. But are there any other truck magazines out there that are directed more at performance mods? What are your favorites to read?

You want my opinion, READ THIS . I went off a few months back about truck mags. I pretty much feel the same way still. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

if your looking for performance articles past "how to bolt on this" or "how to install a NOS system sure to blow up your engine" your out of look. seems most truck magazines today like to feature 24" rims, air bag suspension, wild paint, and bolt ons. thats if you can find the articles that are somewhere between all those ads.

I agree with the consensus on this one. If you want lots of bling bling <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> , look at those truck mags. Preformance wise, look at "GM high tech performance". Not many articles on trucks, but they are starting to cover the LS1s more now. Its still mostly turbo buicks and LT1s. Many of this sites sponsors have ads in it.

Yes and they are very biased. Sport Truck recommends Jet products and JBA headers on every other page. Also the dyno numbers are usually unrealistic.
