Every Episode. Off the Tailgate of His Truck.

The Gas Station Tailgate Review isn't produced in a studio. It's filmed right off the tailgate of Stafford's truck — at roadside stops, gas stations, and diners across Mississippi and the Southeast. That's not a format. That's a personality. And 6.5 million people showed up to watch it in just 90 days.
