Hello. I'll start the review here. First, I think the lead may need to be at least two to three paragraphs as per WP:LEADSECTION (so far, it's about 23,905). There was also one citation that's already dead, but it's all fixed up. I'll continue reading the article and assess some of the sections before giving a final rating.

Currently, the lead has two paragraphs. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 21:24, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Drive-by comment (appropriately enough): The truck Samson is only mentioned in an image caption. Although it makes sense to only list those of the game's twelve trucks that have Wikipedia articles (which I think is what's being done in "Gameplay"), it might make sense to include the other eight in a footnote. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:28, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Interesting. I'm taking your good idea into consideration. I'm Aya Syameimaru!I文々。新聞Iuserbako 01:45, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Okay, now I implemented your suggestion into the article with this footnote:

Other monster trucks include Bear Foot, Boogey Van, Carolina Crusher, Monster Patrol, Overkill, Power Wheels Bigfoot, Rampage, Samson, and Wildfoot.

Looks good, I'm Aya Syameimaru!. As you can see, I've adjusted it slightly in the article. Also, although it's an uncontroversial statement, I would still add a source to the footnote. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:43, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Added a source to the footnote. I'm Aya Syameimaru!I文々。新聞Iuserbako 05:12, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

I guess the article takes 9-10 minutes to read, and at this point, with 1180 words, can be reviewed with ease I think. «“I'm Aya Syameimaru!”I„文々。新聞“I„userbako”» 10:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
