🛻 Trucker Ty “Diesel Duke” Dalton Drops $2.8M on Smoky Mountain Log Mansion
Long haul trucking influencer Diesel Duke buys a luxurious $2.8M log cabin estate with a custom truck trail, filming studio, and private BBQ pit in Tennessee
America’s Favorite Trucker Just Put Down Roots
Ty Dalton, better known as “Diesel Duke” to his 2 million YouTube subscribers, is trading the open road for mountain air — at least part-time. The trucking influencer, known for his rugged lifestyle, diesel rants, and epic road stories, has purchased a $2.8 million luxury log cabin estate in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
This isn’t your average truck stop rest break — this is a high-octane, horsepower-infused retreat built for a man who lives and breathes 18 wheels.
Inside the Diesel Duke’s Smoky Hideout
The 6,000-square-foot log mansion sits on 25 wooded acres and features:
-
5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms
-
A 2-story stone fireplace
-
Indoor waterfall and koi pond
-
Heated garage for up to 4 full-size semis
-
An off-road truck trail that circles the property
Diesel Duke reportedly had a “gearhead media cave” built into the basement — a soundproof studio for filming hauls, podcast episodes, and breakdown tutorials.
A Mansion Made for Mud, Metal & Meat
One of the home’s wildest features? A built-in smokehouse and BBQ pit overlooking the valley. In a video tour, Ty explained,
“If I’m gonna cook ribs, I’m gonna do it with a view and diesel smoke in the background.”
Outside, he’s added a massive flagpole with the words “Keep It Rolling” engraved at the base — a tribute to his fallen trucking mentor.
The estate also includes:
-
An outdoor truck wash with heated water
-
A custom fire ring shaped like a semi-truck wheel
-
A helipad — which he joked is “just in case I want to chopper out when traffic gets too stupid.”
A Home That Hauls Just Like He Does
Dalton says the move was about creating a place where he could rest, create, and connect with his audience.
“I’ve been living outta a cab for 15 years,” he said. “Now I finally got a place to hang my hat — and still smell diesel in the morning.”
He plans to host trucking meetups, survival weekends, and even off-road truck racing events on the property.
From steering wheel to stardom, Diesel Duke’s log mansion in the Smokies is a powerful symbol of trucking success. Whether he’s filming an oil change tutorial or roasting marshmallows under the stars, Ty Dalton proves that even the hardest-working haulers can have a soft spot for luxury.
