ATV Racing Up and Comers, Cody & Hunter Miller Featured in Toyota Tundra Commercial


ATV Scene: Tell us more. This is too cool!
Hunter: Since I really do drive a Toyota Tundra and Cody drives a Toyota Tacoma we were in the hot seat for the opportunity. Plus at the time, Cody and I were both in the top six in the country when they called us back for another screen test. I think that may have helped our cause as well. They ended up rewriting the whole script of the commercial to include both of us in it.

ATV Scene: They had to have fallen in love with what fell into their laps in you two. You’re not boring and many aren’t as good on camera as you guys.
Cody: Thanks but actually the directors just wanted us to do what we do everyday; hit the track, race each other and be our complete selves. It was really easy.

ATV Scene: You were probably working with an entire film crew with millions of dollars worth of camera and sound equipment. Are we right? Tell us more about the crew and how it all went.
Hunter: Yep. They didn’t skimp. They had six extra trucks there and hundred of people working to make the 30-second commercial as good as they possible could. The directors of the shoot really respected our motocross skills and took our advice into consideration to design the jumps to keep the shoot as safe and practical as possible. It was fun to watch their reaction because they were amazed watching us fly through the air! They didn’t think quads could do that kind of thing. The shoot itself was awesome and we felt privileged to be selected.  I was a bit overwhelmed at times by the people and equipment involved.  It seemed like there were four people for every job.  We were unaccustomed to having someone cater to our every need with endless sandwiches and bottles of water. I’ll never forget it. That’s for sure.

ATV Scene: How about you Cody what do you have to say about the experience?
Cody: When I think about it, we have worked our whole lives to perfect our motocross skills. We’ve put 110% into winning races to try to make racing our jobs. So actually this was our first real job, outside of racing. Most people’s first job is working at McDonalds, cutting the neighbor’s lawn or something of that sort. It was so awesome I can’t even describe it.
