Well, season 2 on "Truck Night,"
we tried to ramp it up a little bit with some new challenges.
And one of our favorite is Creek Climb.
It's a cool little creek that tests your truck's suspension.
Man, you can see that thing articulate.
[engine roaring]
And then we hit some gnarly climbs.
That first climb's at 60 degrees.
And then the second climb is at 70 degrees.
And we made it even a little nastier.
We threw some water on top of it.
It's super cool.
Let's take a look at it.
Go!
Nice and slow.
A little slower.
No, no, no, turn my way.
My way, driver.
See, if you can see, it's hard to get
those tires to stick on the rocks
because it's so damn slippery.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[crash]
Oh!
You've got to really drive it high up onto Glen's left there
to get the front end around it.
And then the rear end kind of settles in.
If you don't, you end up on your side,
right in the middle of this creek bed.
[music playing]
And then you go into the bends.
So you've got to carry a high line here so that you can make
it around that next bend there and maintain
the high side on this one.
Because the last turn out of here gets real tight.
Run up and over it and to the right.
There you go.
A little more right, a little more right.
Get down in the pond.
Nice work.
Once the driver comes out the creek part,
now it's time to do the climb part.
[engine roaring]
This is where it's really crucial to pick a good line.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.

ROB PARK: To try and pull momentum
and not have the tires leave the ground--
Woo!
--that's really key in this challenge.
Woo!
That's what I'm talking about, Zach!
Nailed it!
Yeah!
ABE WINE: Killer job.
So that's a look at the creek climb.
We love it.
I know a lot of the other drivers have loved it.
[engine roaring]
You guys wanted it.
You wanted some rocks.
Kicking it up for season 2.
[music playing]
PETE SOHREN: This is the Slag Heap.
And it tests your truck's speed.
So you're looking at a climb of about 100 vertical feet
at a 45-degree angle.
But you have to climb over a bunch of logs
to get to the finish line.
The key to this challenge is when to be on the gas
and when to be on the brakes.
Slag Heap is one of our toughest challenges
here on "Truck Night."
Every one of those trucks had the power to get up this hill.
But driver error kept three of them from making it.
Ready, set, go!
[engines roaring]
Oh, look at the little red one on the far side.
All you got to do to get up the Slag Hill
is maintain traction.
We had one driver on the outside lane
barely spin a tire going up the hill.
We had every other driver throwing big rooster tails.
They looked like boats going across the water.
PETE SOHREN: The little red Ford's gonna
make it up the hill first.
GLEN PLAKE: Go, little red!
Do it, buddy!
Do it!
Yeah!
Little red takes it.
Let's come over the lane 2 here.
Look at the two big holes dug in right there
in front of that log.
Instead of backing up, resetting,
he just spin the tires, spin the tires, spin the tires.
And then he broke something.
[engine roaring]
[crash]
Oh, my gosh.
[bleep]
You come over the lane 3, you got four,
six big holes on those logs.
Back up, reset.
You know?
This challenge-- you don't have to win, you've got to finish.
Everything on "Truck Night," you don't have to win.
You've got to finish, especially in these early challenges.
[engine roaring]
Do it! Do it!
Do it!
Go, go, yeah!
MAN: There you go, buddy!
Look over here.
We kind of got a mess.
Looks like a rototiller has been going up there because they've
just been turning and burning.
Big, giant motors, it causes a lack of traction problem
if not done correctly.
[engines roaring]
[creaking]
Oh, no!
Stop, stop!
It's over!
Wow!
These five lanes tell the story of Slag Heap.
I've got two clean lanes, and I've got three
lanes where people got stuck.
