The Truck of the Month is not only for those who have amzing rigs but it is also for those members who bring life to the forum. Those who are helping and show a concern for others here at EF. Its not about having a truck that has every mod you can think to have on it. Someone once said "well maintained, slightly moded, stock looking trucks are just as important to their owners and this site as are the others." This month goes to Sam. So everyone tell Sam what you think.
