Brenthel Industries was founded by brothers Jonathan and Jordan Brenthel with one mission: to build the most advanced off-road race vehicles in the world. What started in a garage quickly grew into a full-scale operation fueled by precision engineering, relentless testing, and a deep passion for motorsports. Every chassis, every weld, every design is driven by real-world racing experience and a commitment to quality above all else. From local trails to Baja championships, Brenthel delivers performance that doesn't flinch under pressure.

TESTIMONIALS
SHAWN R.
I had an incredible experience with Brenthel Industries and their Trophy Truck Arrive & Drive program. From the moment I got behind the wheel, I knew I was in for something special. The team’s passion for racing, attention to detail, and top-tier preparation were clear every step of the way. Racing their Spec Trophy Truck in the Baja 500 was unforgettable—everything felt dialed in, and their support made me confident from start to finish. What truly sets them apart is their dedication to their customers. The entire process was seamless, and they went above and beyond to deliver an incredible experience. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or new to the sport, I can’t recommend their program enough. I can’t wait to race with them again!

Jonathan, wanted to thank your organizing for the support. We had a great experience. Such a brutal coarse and a testament on how the quality of the product you make. Thanks so much for helping dreams happen.

Truck was demonstrably better than the old truck!! It took me through the tightest places in Matomi Wash like you made it especially for that and I just ate up folds in the long whoop sections before and after I handed it off to Moses
LOUS H.
Congratulations and Thank You! The quality and innovation of the Truck you have built for us is outstanding in every way! After 2 seasons of racing, Josh and I are very impressed with the abuse we have put it thru and the reliability it has provided. 2 years in a row finishing the “Baja Nevada” 650 mile race is a testament to that! But the truck is only 1 piece of this adventure. Your outstanding crew, your support after purchase, your help in training and your outstanding pit services helped a couple of “Buffalo Guys” realize a long time dream of racing the “Baja 1000”. We are truly “living the dream”. For a father to be able to do this with his son and nephew is priceless. I love the quote from Corky McMillin, passed on to me by his son Mark, “Expensive family glue”.Keep up the good work! Feel free to share my thoughts, and also pass my contact as a reference. I appreciate the excellence you are building!

BOBBY P.
The Truck is Night & Day difference from the Gen 2 truck. It is working really good, I am impressed.
JENSON B.
Thanks for your words mate. I’ve also learnt a lot in my very short time in off-road racing and have realized you guys are doing a terrific job, the best job by any team in the sport. You make the amateurs feel like the pros and you give the pros the equipment to win.
JIM C.
Thank you for an amazing weekend — everything was effortless on my end thanks to your team’s preparation, professionalism, and hospitality. Special thanks to Tyler, Joey, and the crew for getting the truck fixed and to Amanda and Stephanie for inviting Amy — you treated me like family despite my endless requests. I appreciate everything you did (and everything behind the scenes I didn’t see) and I can’t wait to come back.
STERLING M.
What a fantastic opportunity you guys are offering! Whether it’s a once in a life time experience, getting your feet wet in the sport of desert racing , or taking your driving to the next level with truly priceless tips that only come form racing against professional drivers & thousands of miles behind the wheel! I simply can’t express how pleased I have been with the service after the sale with Brenthel Industries.
SHANE R.
That's why you sell truck man! Service after the sell.Excellent service kills those other competitors if you even consider them competitors!Thanks So MuchSuper Stoked to be driving one of your trucks
DAVID D.
I wanted to drop you a note after the test we just ran. It went very well and everyone had a great time. The coaching, support and camaraderie had the group gelling pretty quickly. All of which made it more fun. Only Earl knew we were crazy before we arrived….and he was dumb enough to stick around !
