unlike many other shows during the same period. "Trucks!" maintained the highest viewership of any automotive how-to television show throughout the years David hosted it. David continued to host and produce the show until the end of the 2005 season, when he chose to pursue, in his own words, "other opportunities". On March 31, 2007—and a bit before that for his loyal fan base—the meaning of "other opportunities" was revealed as a new show called Stacey David’s GearZ, airing on ESPN2. Season two of GearZ moved to the Speed Channel, with the first episode premiering February 23, 2008. GearZ remained on SPEED channel for six seasons. Season eight of GearZ moved to MavTV, with the first episode premiering March 7, 2014. Season nine was also syndicated on Velocity (TV network) with Season 11 premiering in January 2017. Stacey David has now been on the air for 20 years sharing his custom hot rods all over the world in places including Canada, Russia, Mexico, England, France, and more.
