The world’s largest pickup truck belongs to Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of one of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates.
Often called the Rainbow Sheik, he has many unique cars, many of which are extremely huge. The “Dodge Power Wagon” Monster Edition is one of them – Photo: Luxuilaunch
The “Dodge Power Wagon” monster version is 8 times larger than the original car, and weighs more than 50 tons. The Dodge Power Wagon was used by many Middle Eastern giants in the 1950s – it was also the decade of the oil boom and brought the situation and economy of the Middle East to a new level. Hence, this is also one of Rainbow Sheik’s most favorite cars – Photo: Autoevolution
Due to its size, the entire body frame and chassis of the car were created from scratch, with some parts borrowed from other larger vehicles, as no original car would have been big enough for the “monster” to take home – photo: @Yanivsosner/Instagram
The tray is taken from a giant sized oil transport truck. The windshield wipers were borrowed from a cruiser, and the headlights were custom-made at home to fit the new shape. The total weight of the vehicle is more than 50 tonnes – Photo: News18
Despite its large size, this pickup still drives like any other normal car, and even has its own license plate. However, currently, most of the time this car is located in the Emirates National Auto Museum in Abu Dhabi, which is open to visitors free of charge – Photo: AutoEvolution
Surprisingly, the engine is not exactly the same in size, as it is a 6-cylinder Detroit diesel taken from an excavator with a modest capacity of only 300 horse power, which is enough to propel the car. With a huge body, it seems that the owner of the “monster pickup” also decided not to race with anyone at fast speed – Photo: Autoevolution
Not just an ordinary pickup truck, “Monster Dodge” is also a huge mobile home with a living room, a large kitchen, 4 air-conditioned bedrooms and several separate bathrooms. There is also a private yard at the back of the car that allows users to enjoy the scenery. There are not many pictures of the inside of the car. Because apart from former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, who experienced it in person several years ago, no one else has publicly posted photos of the inside of a pickup truck – Photo: Top Gear
The cost of creating the entire car is not disclosed, but it is known that the headlights alone cost 1,000 USD (over 24 million VND) – Photo: Interesting Engineering
