Vehicles Character Vehicle Luke Harper 1996 Ford F-150 XLT Mason Brooks Blue Kymco scooter Caleb Turner 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD Ethan Cole GMC Terrain Fun Facts They've known each other for nearly a decade. Every summer they take a weekend camping trip along the Mississippi River. They all enjoy hunting and fishing, though Luke is the only one who consistently catches the biggest fish. Mason is the group's go-to mechanic whenever a vehicle breaks down. Caleb owns the largest toolbox but rarely lets anyone borrow his favorite wrenches. Ethan is always the one who suggests spontaneous road trips, even if the destination is just a scenic overlook or a small-town diner.

Together, they're known as a dependable group of hardworking young adults who balance full-time jobs or school with a love for trucks, the outdoors, and spending time with friends in their rural Midwestern community.
