History Channel's 'Truck Weekend' Showcases Ford Pickups
Ford fans won't know what to do with themselves come Saturday, beyond the fact that they may feel compelled to stay indoors Saturday and Sunday nights. In a unique — and we're guessing quite lucrative — prime-time collaboration between the History Channel and Ford Motor Co., this weekend's History Channel evening lineups will be made up of F-Series pickup truck TV specials.
The weekend Ford fest will run Saturday and Sunday starting at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time each night. Both evenings the History Channel will showcase television shows that, in one way or another, have a new, classic or custom Ford F-Series pickup at their heart. In addition, custom vignettes will air on the History Channel as well as on its digital and social channels.
Here are the particulars:
Saturday
- "Truck Night in America," 8 p.m. EST Saturday: Custom-modified all-terrain Ford vehicles take on all types of terrain across the U.S.
- "Truck Hunters," 9 p.m. EST Saturday: Competing truck builders compete to make a customer sale by improving two classic pickups.
