In custom builds, swapping in a different manufacturer’s components is often done to improve parts availability or drivability.","simplifiedExplanation":"“Ford-controlled” means the builder used Ford parts to run or control key parts of the vehicle. People do this on custom trucks so repairs are easier and the vehicle drives better."}},{"startTime":107.7,"endTime":111.8,"type":"term","title":"350","quote":"Kind of converted? It's got a 350. Oh, it's a Chevy.","canonicalId":"term:350","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.85,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"“350” almost certainly refers to a 350 cubic-inch V8 engine, commonly associated with Chevrolet small-block V8s in truck and off-road builds. These engines are popular because they’re compact, make decent power, and have huge aftermarket support.","simplifiedExplanation":"“350” is shorthand for an engine size (about 350 cubic inches). It’s a common V8 swap in trucks because parts and upgrades are widely available."}},{"startTime":173.1,"endTime":177.9,"type":"term","title":"wide body stance","url":"/glossary/wide-body-stance","quote":"Yeah, but I think this Tacoma reminds me of something because it's basically one of\n\nthe trends we're seeing already at the show is kind of this wide body stance because\n\nthe tires are getting bigger and the wheels are getting a little bit more offset.","canonicalId":"term:wide-body-stance","priority":0.6,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"A wide body stance is a styling approach where the truck sits visually wider than stock, usually by fitting larger tires and wheels and sometimes adding fender flares or bodywork. The goal is both aesthetics and clearance—more tire width can improve off-road traction and allow more aggressive wheel/tire setups.","simplifiedExplanation":"A wide body stance means the truck looks wider than normal. Usually that’s because it has bigger tires and wheels, and sometimes extra fender coverage so the tires fit properly."}},{"startTime":177.9,"endTime":183.0,"type":"term","title":"wheel offset","url":"/glossary/wheel-offset","quote":"the trends we're seeing already at the show is kind of this wide body stance because\n\nthe tires are getting bigger and the wheels are getting a little bit more offset.\n\nWe're going to see some real wide body ones a little bit later where they're full of","canonicalId":"term:wheel-offset","priority":0.55,"confidence":0.85,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"Wheel offset is the distance between the wheel’s mounting surface and its centerline, which determines how far the wheel sits inward or outward in the wheel well. More offset toward the outside (often called “more negative offset”) helps create a wider stance, but it can also affect clearance with suspension components and fenders.","simplifiedExplanation":"Wheel offset is how the wheel is positioned relative to the truck—whether it sits more tucked in or sticks out. Changing it can make the truck look wider, but you have to make sure the tires still clear everything."}},{"startTime":279.2,"endTime":281.5,"type":"concept","title":"overlanding","url":"/glossary/overlanding","quote":"Which it makes sense. You're overlanding.

It usually involves carrying gear for cooking, sleeping, and recovery, and often favors trucks/SUVs with strong off-road capability.","simplifiedExplanation":"Overlanding means traveling and camping in more remote places, kind of like a road trip that’s also an adventure.

It’s popular for overland and work builds because it’s easy to mount gear, storage, and recovery equipment securely.","simplifiedExplanation":"A flatbed is a truck bed that’s open and flat on top. It’s useful for hauling gear and building custom setups for camping or work."}},{"startTime":312.9,"endTime":317.9,"type":"part","title":"suspension system","url":"/glossary/suspension-system","quote":"But I mean, it's showing off the suspension system here. But it's really cool.","canonicalId":"part:suspension-system","priority":0.4,"confidence":0.85,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"The suspension system is what connects the wheels to the truck’s body and controls how the vehicle absorbs bumps and maintains tire contact. Off-road builds often emphasize suspension tuning and components so the truck can handle uneven terrain without losing traction.","simplifiedExplanation":"The suspension system is the part of the truck that helps it ride over bumps and rough ground. Better suspension helps the tires stay planted when the road gets uneven."}},{"startTime":333.1,"endTime":335.0,"type":"term","title":"off-roading","url":"/glossary/off-roading","quote":"You drop the box and you're off-roading.

It typically requires more traction management and clearance than street driving.","simplifiedExplanation":"Off-roading means driving on dirt, rocks, or trails instead of regular paved roads. It usually needs better traction and clearance than everyday driving."}},{"startTime":365.3,"endTime":368.2,"type":"term","title":"four-wheel camper","quote":"Well, for example, here's a four-wheel camper project M and it's got, I think that's a Starlink dish going inside of it.
