Motorz TV (pronounced Motors) is an American television series seen nationwide on MavTV, Untamed Sports TV, TiVo, and globally on YouTube and iTunes. The educational automotive series is hosted by Chris Duke, President and Executive Producer of Duke Networks.

Each episode features step-by-step DIY installation help of automotive products, vehicle maintenance tips, new products, and a letters segment. The program premiered on the Internet in 2008 and on Television in 2010. Motorz TV was created by Chris Duke and is produced by Duke Networks.

Motorz TV began life as "Truckblog TV", named after the [Truckblog website] which Chris Duke started in in 2004. In September 2008 the name of the series was changed to Motorz TV to attract a larger audience and brand the series independently, separate from Truckblog.

During its two-year lifespan, Motorz TV has helped automotive enthusiasts learn more about how to maintain their vehicles and install aftermarket products such as exhaust kits, air intake kits, suspension kits, body kits, steps, tonneau covers, mobile electronics, performance accessories, and more on a varying range of cars and pickup trucks.

Each episode starts with the tools required for the installation, an overview of the products being installed, followed by the step-by-step installation procedure. At the end of every episode the product's benefits are shown before the credits roll with humorous out-takes.
