The episode aired when Season 5 had only one episode left, like what happened with all other seasons except the third. Said season finale had to air in July 2021 because of having similarities with the Olympic Games which got postponed in 2021 because of COVID-19.
For the first time, every Crusher and Pickle subplot takes place in three different areas (in the first subplot, it's a field of apple trees, in the second, it's on a dock, and for the third, it's in the jungle).
The firefighters from Fired Up! and Five Alarm Blaze return in this episode. However, the Fire Chief doesn't appear in this episode. They are also redesigned as cabover trucks, as they originally had longnose designs in the original animation style. This redesign makes them more realistic to modern-era fire trucks.
This is also the only time Blaze doesn't turn into a fire truck to stop a fire, as Blaze is mostly a Big Rig for most of the episode.
The Wildbrain logo is redesigned as of this episode, this time being CG animated, with shading.
This is the second time mass is taught. Also, Mass, previously sung in The Team Truck Challenge, is heard again in this episode, but this time it's edited to have only Blaze and AJ sing the song since Pickle's only appearances in this episode is in the subplots.
This is also the sixth time a STEM lesson from a past episode is taught again.
This is the eighteenth episode to end with a fade to black instead of an iris out.
This is the first episode where Stefan Seslija, the sound effects editor and re-recording mixer at WildBrain Studios (formerly DHX Media) relocated at Bergium Audio Post as the sound designer and re-recording mixer.
This episode marks the second to fifth highest numbers shown or mentioned (42000, 31000, 28000, and 26000), losing to 7 billion in Robots in Space.
Running Gags[]
Whenever Crusher and Pickle are somewhere doing something, they see Big Rig Blaze drive by. Pickle is amazed by Big Rig Blaze, but Crusher doubts it, and attempts to show Pickle he's stronger than Blaze by telling Pickle to toss him stuff on top of stuff, but when he's about to tell Pickle he's the strongest monster machine, the thing he's standing on breaks, and he crashes to the ground, getting dizzy.

Goofs[]
Crusher doubts that Blaze is stronger than him, but Blaze is really stronger than him, so Crusher should've been wrong about himself being the strongest monster machine, as Pickle was right.
This gag might've come from the fact that Crusher was based off of an actual big rig cab.
Some of the captions in Big Rig Roll and the STEM song have incorrect lyrics.
