Описание: Some vehicles are built to be driven. Others are built to survive history.
In this DriveFlix episode, we dive into the raw mechanical soul of The Fall Guy by uncovering the untold story behind Colts 1982 GMC K2500—the pickup truck that endured punishment no human stuntman could.

Across 20 detailed facts, this video explores how a working-class GMC transformed into one of television’s most abused and iconic stunt vehicles. From factory engineering choices that favored durability, to suspension lifts designed for brutal airborne landings, to purpose-built jump trucks created after production realities turned destructive, this is the story behind the metal.

You’ll discover how camera angles exaggerated speed, why multiple stunt trucks rotated through single episodes, how engines, frames, axles, and suspensions paid the price for realism, and how behind-the-scenes repair cycles moved faster than the episodes themselves. We also explore the cultural legacy that turned this truck into an icon—and what ultimately happened to the surviving stunt machines once the cameras stopped rolling.

This isn’t trivia. It’s engineering, filmmaking, and risk—colliding at full speed.
