The Last Ride: Final Day of MATS 2025 with Legendary Trucks
The Last Ride: Final Day of MATS 2025 with Legendary Trucks
Welcome to the grand finale of the Mid-America Trucking Show 2025 (MATS 2025)—a day packed with roaring engines, gleaming chrome, and the raw beauty of trucking history on full display!
In this episode of Nomad Outdoor Adventures, we take you straight into the heart of MATS on its final day, where the classics come alive. We captured some jaw-dropping rigs, including a gorgeous vintage White Freightliner cab-over, pristine Peterbilts, a rare old Dodge truck, and dozens of other legendary rides that tell the story of America’s trucking roots.
And it wasn’t just about the rigs—we also had the chance to interview one of the proud owners of a beautifully restored truck who shared the story behind their build, the passion that drives them, and the legacy they’re helping to preserve.
