Can TSTDRVR earn its way to a Ford Raptor?
Join us on the Road to the Raptor.

Sponsorships
Merchandise
The Premise
After eight years in the slow lane, TSTDRVR is finally monetized.
That milestone sparked a bigger question: if we put the accelerator down, create better videos, chase bigger stories, build real partnerships, and apply my business knowledge to the channel, could TSTDRVR earn its way to a Ford Raptor?
That’s why I’m starting The Raptor Chapter.
The goal is to work our way toward a 2024 or newer Ford Raptor. This is not about asking anyone to buy me a truck. It is about building TSTDRVR with intention and proving whether the channel can become strong enough to earn one.
YouTube revenue, affiliate commissions, sponsorships, merch, digital products, and anything else TSTDRVR earns along the way will help move us toward the truck. After direct costs and taxes, every dollar goes into the Raptor Fund. We’ll track the progress here and in the videos.
Welcome to The Raptor Chapter.
Be Part of this Chapter
The launch shirt is the first official merch drop for The Raptor Chapter, and is a way to be part of the story from the very beginning.
This whole thing started with a simple question: can a "for fun" YouTube channel get serious and earn its way to a Ford Raptor? Buying the shirt puts a little more fuel in the tank.
It also means you were here when this chapter started. You’re helping push the channel toward something bigger, backing the work, and supporting the dream while it is still a long shot.
Get the shirt. Rep the story. Help fuel the Road to the Raptor.
