Making A Difference: American Trucks' Positive Payload 2019 Winter Winners


One of our happiest and proudest associations here at TireKicker is with the fine folks at American MuscleExtreme Terrain and American Trucks.  They have been loyal advertisers since 2012. 

Right now, American Trucks is doing something worth writing about (buying ad space at TireKicker doesn't guarantee editorial coverage). 

It's called the Positive Payload Program.  If you volunteer for or work with a charity that uses Ford F-150sChevy SilveradosGMC Sierras or Dodge Rams in its service to the community, you can apply for a $2,000 donation to that charity.

The winter 2019 winners are: 

Habitat For Humanity Philadelphia, which has repaired 500 homes and built 215 since its launch in 2003---directly impacting the lives of more than 1,700 people.  Habitat's fleet of trucks is essential to get supplies and staff between worksites and warehouses.

Water Mission International, which since 2001 has used innovative technology and engineering expertise to provide access to safe water for more than 3.6 million people in 55 countries.  Trucks are used to deliver equipment and technology to communities in need.  Terrain is often rugged and only a truck can be used to navigate the many miles to individual communities.  Also, during a disaster relief effort, trucks are driven through remote and often flooded areas where people desperately need safe drinking water.
