Worldwide Popularity
Pimp My Ride is one of MTV's most popular shows with nearly all of its worldwide viewers, and also in the US, where it is second place to The Real World (which is generally much less known outside of the United States). Country Music Television, also owned by MTV parent Viacom, has a show called Trick My Truck that operates on the same principle, but only customizes semi-trailer trucks.
In the USA all 7 seasons are currently being shown on Speed TV network with all verbal references to MTV dubbed out and images on all TV monitors installed in "pimped" cars pixilated due to copyright issues.
