Congrats to Gary and Elaine on this brand new 2026 1500 Ram Rebel!

Erin Marquard's Reflection: I worked with Gary and Elaine for several weeks to help them find the PERFECT truck for their lifestyle. They were such fun to work with! They plan on enjoying the summer and doing a little traveling with their dogs in the new truck.

Our Sales Professional Alan Sydow made the long trek out to Greeley, CO to deliver this beautiful 2023 GMC Yukon XL to his cousins, Jen and Derek! Nothing beats going the extra mile—literally—to make sure our customers drive off happy.

Enjoy the new ride and safe travels!

💥 Fast Moves & Fresh Trades! 💥
Huge congratulations to David from Hillsboro, ND! 🥳

He saw this gorgeous 2022 Ford F-150 hit our lot as a fresh trade and didn't wait a single second. He teamed up with Candy and locked it down before it even had a chance to visit our detail department!

That’s how you claim the perfect truck.

Tech Tip Tuesday: Light Duty Truck Towing in Minnesota

When it comes to towing in Minnesota, not all light duty trucks are created equal.

Whether you are pulling a fishing boat to the lake or hauling a camper up north, you need a truck that can handle real world conditions like snow, ice, and long highway miles.

This week we break down how trucks like the Ford F-150 and GMC Sierra 1500 perform when it matters most.

Travis brings over 15 years of Ford truck sales experience and helps customers every day find the right fit for their towing needs. As a fisherman himself, he knows what it means to trust your truck when the boat is hooked up and the weekend is on the line.

🚗 What was your first vehicle? 🚗

We went around Nelson Auto and asked our team what their very first vehicle was. The answers ranged from a classic 1970 Camaro to a 2010 Dodge Avenger, with plenty of memorable rides in between.

Some of us learned to drive in muscle cars. Some started with practical daily drivers. Every vehicle has a story.

Watch the video to see what our staff drove first, then tell us about your first vehicle in the comments.

✨ Most Rewarding Detail Series ✨

We're highlighting some of the most rewarding details our team has completed!

🚗 First up: Conrad, our Detail Manager, tackled a vehicle that had become home to a family of mice before arriving at Nelson Auto. It was a big job, but the transformation was worth every minute.

🐶 Next: Desiree took on a vehicle covered in stubborn dog hair. Anyone who has dealt with pet hair knows it doesn't give up easily—but neither does Desiree!

✨ And finally: Jayde brought worn leather seats back to life, restoring their clean appearance and shine.

Every vehicle has a story, and our detailing team takes pride in helping write the next chapter.
