The Largest Pickup Truck in the World

Created in the mid 1990s, this 1950's Dodge Power Wagon replica weighs in at about 50 tons. It is said to be the largest car/truck in the world. It's so big that it houses four air conditioned bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. It even has a motorized tailgate that drops down to become a terrace.

Although it was not designed for road travel, it was built with a 300HP GM diesel engine that helps it move around on its own. The truck is owned by Seikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates, and the video is from Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld television series that aired on BBC back in the mid 1990s.

While most reports indicate the truck is 64 times larger than the original, that is clearly a stretch. But what can't be argued, however, is this truck is big... Really BIG!
