TruckVault announced today the official launch of their new Media Gallery feature on their website, available by clicking here.
Along with the launch of the new Media Gallery, TruckVault is debuting their newest Product Trial video entitled “Trial by Fire”, in which an older-model SUV equipped with a single-drawer TruckVault was set on fire, simulating a vehicle accident and demonstrating their products’ resilience to heat and flame.
“We worked with our local fire department in creating a simulated freeway car fire scenario” said Sales & Marketing Director Don Fenton. “This was done primarily as a training segment for the firefighters with a secondary benefit being that it provided us with a great test of our product.” The idea for the video originated from a number of customer testimonials in which privately owned TruckVault products survived ravaging vehicle fires, protecting the contents and allowing the items stored within to emerge unharmed. |

TruckVault’s final Hero Hunt of the ’08 airing season was completed this past week just outside of Fort Morgan, CO. Greg Hall was selected as the final recipient of an all-expenses paid waterfowl hunt filmed with TruckVault’s Xtreme Hunts show host Mark Kayser.
Hall resides in Pennsylvania and is currently working as an NTOA Instructor. Greg joined show host Mark Kayser for his waterfowl hunt near Fort Morgan, Colorado, along the South Platte River. The duo joined up with seasoned waterfowl outfitter John Hagen of John Hagen Outdoors.
Conditions for the hunters were very extreme with heavy snow falling ahead of their arrival. Canada geese and mallards were feeding heavily in drought-stricken cornfields that were left standing due to their lack of profit in the region. The hunting was done from pits in large spreads of nearly 300 goose decoys and several dozen mallard decoys.

This summer, we decided to put our newest product, the Extreme Series all-weather vault, to the test to prove to the world just how tough and weather-proof it really is. This included prolonged exposure to blasts from a garden hose, a fire hose and a good hard drenching from the fire truck's deck gun.
The results really speak for themselves - you can see the full video of the test here.
