Ep 3. Cheap Truck Challenge!

In this episode of Roadkill season 1, titled "Cheap Truck Challenge!", hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan take on a challenge to find the best cheap truck under $5,000. The hosts are given strict instructions that the truck must be a full-size, rear-wheel-drive vehicle with a V8 engine.
