What Is the Highest a Monster Truck Has Ever Jumped?

The highest a monster truck has ever jumped is an impressive 45 feet. This incredible feat was achieved by the veteran Monster Jam driver, Tom Meents, in his Max-D truck in 2017. Meents is considered one of the best drivers in the sport and has been driving Monster Jam trucks for over two decades.

Monster Jam trucks are built for extreme stunts, but this jump was even more impressive than most. It required a great deal of skill and precision to pull off successfully and there was no room for any mistakes on Meents’ part. The truck had to be perfectly balanced at the takeoff point and then be driven forward at just the right speed to land safely on the other side.

The 45-foot jump set a new world record for monster truck jumps and also earned Meents an induction into the Monster Jam Hall of Fame. The record has since been broken by another driver, Todd LeDuc, who successfully jumped his Grave Digger truck 49 feet in 2018. That jump was especially impressive as it not only broke the previous world record but it also set a new Guinness World Record as well.

Monster trucks have become increasingly popular over the years due to their amazing stunts and breathtaking jumps. While 45 feet may have been an impressive feat back in 2017, it’s clear that these drivers continue to push boundaries with each passing year.

Conclusion: What is the highest a monster truck has ever jumped? The answer is a staggering 45 feet which was achieved by Tom Meents in his Max-D truck back in 2017.

Since then, another driver, Todd LeDuc broke this record with an incredible 49 foot jump using his Grave Digger truck in 2018 – setting a new Guinness World Record as well! Monster trucks are continuing to push boundaries each year and these feats of skill and precision shows just how far these drivers are willing to go for glory!
