Motorz TV began life as "Truckblog TV", named after the Truckblog.com website which Chris Duke started in 2004. In September 2008 the name of the series was changed to Motorz TV to attract a larger audience and brand the series independently, separate from Truckblog.
During its two-year lifespan, Motorz TV has helped automotive enthusiasts learn more about how to maintain their vehicles and install aftermarket products such as exhaust kits, air intake kits, suspension kits, body kits, steps, tonneau covers, mobile electronics, performance accessories, and more on a varying range of cars and pickup trucks.
Each episode starts with the tools required for the installation, an overview of the products being installed, followed by the step-by-step installation procedure. At the end of every episode the product's benefits are shown before the credits roll with humorous out-takes.
