Introducing PickupTruckTalk.com
Tundraheadquarters fans and readers, Tim here. I have a pretty big announcement. As many of you know, I’ve grown as an automotive journalist and now get vehicles from a wide variety of manufactures as well as publishing to multiple outlets. This combined with a desire to expand my skills, as well as some knucklehead journalist calling trucks “uncivilized” on a prominent podcast, have driven me to finally do something I’ve been thinking about for years. I’m very pleased to announce the launch of PickupTruckTalk.com!!!
This site will house all my work including posts on Tundraheadquarters.com and Tacomahq.com. I still plan to work on both of these sites and all stories will be posted on them FIRST. I’ll then republish them on Pickup Truck Talk. Thank YOU readers for your support over the years as I have grown into the journalist I am today.
