Common Questions

How often do you publish new posts?

New posts drop every Monday and Thursday. Fitment guides on Mondays, then alternating Garage features and Bang For Your Buck deals on Thursdays.

Do you write about other vehicles besides F-150s and Silverados?

Yes. We cover every truck and SUV we carry wheels and tires for. Rams, Tacomas, 4Runners, Tahoes, Suburbans, Jeeps, and more. If we sell parts for it, we will eventually write a fitment guide for it.

Can I submit my truck to be featured in The Garage?

Absolutely. Send us your build photos and the story behind it via Instagram DM or our contact form. We feature customer trucks regularly.

I have a fitment question that is not covered in any post. What should I do?

Message us. We answer fitment questions directly through Instagram DM, email, or the contact form. If it is a common question, it might end up as the next blog post.
