Magazines For Performance Truck Owners

By Jone Carducci


After you have spent hours upgrading your diesel truck engine, adding that Smarty tuner or Edge programmer, improving the suspension, plus sizing the tires and installing an aftermarket air intake system, your truck probably looks great and runs even better. While you might be tempted to spend 24/7 driving and polishing your ride, there are others ways to spend your free time, such as reading a truck magazine. Here are a few of the top publications about performance trucks.

Truckin' Magazine is a definite must-read for anyone who loves performance trucks. Each edition includes a variety of features from articles about truck shows, informative pieces about how you can upgrade your truck, reviews of new products and much more. The website offers a good amount of information, as well, including access to an online truck forum. A one-year subscription, which includes 13 issues, costs about $25, so it also makes an affordable gift.

Truck Trend is another option, and this periodical covers both pick-ups and SUVs. This magazine is a bit pricier, with just six for about $20, but for a few dollars less, you can subscribe to the digital version of the magazine. Truck Trend reviews many different makes and models of trucks and includes information about shows, the latest gear and repair and upgrade advice. There is also a website for Truck Trend packed with tons of helpful and interesting information.

Diesel Power is definitely an essential periodical for the diesel truck owner. Each of the monthly issues is packed with helpful tips, product and truck reviews and even features about drag racing. The website also offers a ton of great information, sections on towing, technology and events as well as helpful and entertaining videos. This is definitely one of the more cost-effective publications, as well, with a subscription price of $20 for 12 issues, and you can save five bucks if you opt for a digital subscription instead.

Another idea for diesel truck owners would be Diesel World. While it does also include information about diesel-powered cars, the main emphasis is on trucks. The issues include information about upgrades, towing, events around the United States and much more. There are 12 issues included in the yearly subscription rate, which costs $19.95. The magazine's website also has some helpful information, with special sections specifically for Ford truck owners, one for Dodge truck owners and another for GM owners.

For the latest news about products for diesel trucks, as well as helpful automotive tips, check out Diesel Tech magazine, which costs $20 for eight issues per year. This publication deals mainly with project trucks and work trucks, rather than show trucks. A typical issue would include industry news and helpful articles about maintenance and upgrades.
