They are Massive and mean. They leap in the air and flatten cars. No, they are not flying elephants, they are monster trucks. These mechanical giants are the stars of stunt-driving shows that never fail to wow the crowds. A roaring 2,000 horsepower engine gives them a top speed of 100 miles per hour.
In the hands of an expert driver , they can spin on the spot, rear up on their back wheels and jump nearly 26 feet off the ground- but don't get in their way. They weigh more than 4 tons and they can crush a car so that it's as flat as a pan cake.
Monster tucks can jump 26 feet high and a distance of 130 feet- about the same distance as 14 cars parked side by side.

Monster Trucks are extremely thirsty. They burn 2.5 gallons of fuel in each run of about 250 feet. That's one thousand times faster than a car would burn the same amount of fuel.
Meet BiG-Foot 5
Big foot 5 giant tires were originally made for the US army for use on an Arctic snow train. The tires ended up in a junkyard where builder Bob Chandler found them and transformed them into BigFoot 5 's weapons of destruction. At 10 feet high , the tires are the largest on any truck. Monster Trucks get to crush 3,000 junkyard cars in shows every year.
