The STRANGEST Monster Truck EVER Built

Monster trucks started with one rule. Take a truck, put bigger tires on it, and drive it over something. Some people took that rule and went completely off the rails. In this video we go through seven of the strangest monster trucks ever built. Not strange because of a paint job or a funny name. Strange in the structural, conceptual, what-were-they-thinking sense. A Ford F-150 mounted backwards so the driver faces the bed and the whole arena thinks the truck is driving in reverse. A Cadillac Escalade with a mohawk made of fiberglass broom bristles that became the first monster truck in history sponsored by a hair salon. A Ford Aerostar minivan on competition suspension that somehow crushed the same cars as Grave Digger. A military tank wearing a minivan costume that competed against full monster trucks at the Pontiac Silverdome and ended Bob Chandler's driving career. A truck built specifically for tires that came off a Cold War-era U.S. Army land train in Alaska that has never competed in a single event in forty years and still holds the Guinness World Record. The world's first fully electric monster truck, which was so quiet that for the first time in the sport's history you could actually hear the metal being crushed beneath it. And a 32-foot monster truck limousine that seats twelve passengers and operates as a tourist attraction in the Arizona desert outside Las Vegas. Every truck in this video is real. Some of these are going to genuinely surprise you.
