Big Pete - The World's First Monster Truck & Trailer | RIDICULOUS RIDES

[@BigKrisMorris]

This reminds me of the really early days of monster trucks like Bigfoot lol

[@kagenlim5271]

Ikr, Its like the old school arena design of the 80s

[@rollingdigger19]

That's the cool thing about it. It's a real truck and is more entertaining than current trucks

[@looneycam2762]

True, kicks me in the heart

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Me 2, but those bygone days are gone

[@drewflanagan4296]

What year is it in England, looks like they're about 35 years behind

[@Brad772006]

Built old school. Love it!

[@CalGaminYt]

They should put a monster truck on the trailer

[@looneycam2762]

That'll be BIGGER pete.

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

That would be awesome. I hope they do that someday.

[@looneycam2762]

[@joeyparsley2378]

I miss Super Pete built by Mike Welch in Washington state. It was first

[@jackboy2387]

This is one of the most American vehicles I've ever seen, and it's from the UK of all places

[@HumbleSpartan]

The truck and arena are like beginning career mode in a monster truck game.

[@CurvyTribune]

I never knew they do Monster Trucks in the UK

[@drivingwithdowntownd-brown5958]

actually wasn't there a "super Pete" monster truck in the 80's and it was purple? now i will give you credit for the trailer

[@Tuntalunta]

whens this coming to SnowRunner?

[@rollingdigger19]

Ask the modders to design it

[@fozzylozzy1131]

Nothing beat going to Truckfest on Peterborough with Big Pete, Bigfoot, swamp thing and the jet truck on show.

[@sportfuryman]

This thing screams to be in a mad max movie

[@joshmatte1471]

That rig would work great here in south Louisiana to haul sh!t to oil rigs out in the middle of nowhere

[@1965Gindy]

Engine and gear box would have to be changed though. And extend the frame and make it a tandem.

[@metro_from_real_steel]

I LOVE BIG PETE HE IS MY FAN!!!!!

[@ger128]

I didn't know they had monster trucks in the UK

[@kieshajackson5822]

I will say that is a Big, little pete right there! 😂🤣

[@teamidris]

Doesn’t have the impact if you binge watched oil rig trucks last week :o) Wow they make those terra tyres work hard.

[@MarkBlance]

Should have leveled the trailer so something could be placed on it.

[@subhanjan5791]

My boi BIG PETE

[@seavisions]

Actually Kapplen tree service up here in the thumb of Michigan has a very similar rig for getting through rough terrain to fell trees. It is a beast of a boom truck.

[@1965Gindy]

Corvette dash at that. I would put an 8v92 with a Allison automatic. I mean big block chevy and a 3 speed automatic are for a pickup not a semi.

[@solunasunrise]

looks stupid wehn the trailer isn't even level with the truck...i suppose the construction wasn't fully thought out

[@metro_from_real_steel]

* gets in big Pete and drive * BOI!!!!

[@808G8GT]

This is defiantly NOT the first semi truck monster truck. SUPER PETE was the first back In the 80s.

[@BobbySacamano]

Super cool to look at. I'm confused why they thought it might not work.

[@wmose3694]

thinking worried the trailer would bunny hop to the side and get hung up on the cars

[@brandonwagner3873]

Cool

[@stargazer2312]

The "Grime Reaper" truck appeared in an episode of top gear with a different body once

[@kennymcgowan2880]

Sweeeeeeeet ride

[@weirdunknownperson2916]

Ey big pete ya ready for the big haul? *eeyup*

[@christian-wines9256]

Ya what type of peterbilt is it

[@Carolinastrucks]

There’s one like that in the midwest

[@shawnc1016]

Mike Welch built the first one more than 30 years ago. This isn't the first by a long shot.

[@reubensanyal2755]

Yeah was called Super Pete

[@808G8GT]

Agreed

[@Rangerman69420]

Pretty sure they mean first truck and trailer not first semi truck to be made into a monster truck.

[@shawnc1016]

@@Rangerman69420 Mike had the first truck and trailer. More than 30 years ago.

this reminds me when i saw big pete about 7 years ago at the great dorset steam fair would love to see it again

[@bernarddeane8470]

[@rotz357]

Looks like from motorstorm

[@K-Effect]

Update the suspension and put a diesel engine in it, then it would be perfect. Probably only cost $80,000, just dig that out of the couch cushions

[@4Ever4TheLord]

Not the 1st truck also there was already a peterbuilt monster truck in the 80s

[@CalebBuckley]

So they didn’t use a cat motor in it? I decline this being a semi monster truck

[@dino3115]

Say what you want but when you hear monster trucks you do not think of the UK but US

[@paulstuartwilson485]

A BBC and an automatic transmission? Sounds like a monster truck wannabe with an old Peterbilt cab on it. Not saying that it's not cool, I'm just saying that it's seriously lacking in a lot of areas. Should have a big Caterpillar engine and duals on twin rear axles along with duals on twin axles on a regular length trailer. Great concept and I hope to see it done correctly one of these days.

[@bearfoottruck1812]

While impressive, it's not the first monster semi. There was also Mike Welch's Super Pete and - perhaps more impressive - Don Buchholtz' King of the Road.

[@jkman-bi2qx]

This is not the first truck and trailer monster truck there out that is a cabover and dry van

[@tigerguy1013]

It’s a cool design, but heavy trucks, no speed, rolling over cars is a thing of the past

[@crossbow3539]

It needs another rear axle

[@edwardnigma6568]

Why are they playing let freedom ring in Britain? Lololololol

[@peterbelanger4094]

Wait, I thought Brits were repulsed by "American" things like monster trucks.

[@OIR339]

this was ruined by the gas engine and not a diesel

[@truckerray7533]

What a waste of a classic 359 model Peterbilt cab body & hood. But it is cool, though.

[@rollingdigger19]

Why is it wasted?

[@RainMallow8]

Hahaha

@@rollingdigger19 just because its the classic 359 model Peterbilt cab & hood that still could've been used for good ole trucking still.
