Who Owns the Biggest Pickup Truck in the World?

Big pickup trucks are a symbol of power, strength, and adventure. They are the preferred vehicle of choice for those who need to haul heavy loads, tow trailers, or just want to make a statement. But who owns the world’s biggest pickup truck?

The answer is an Australian mining company called Hancock Prospecting. The company recently unveiled its latest behemoth, a 600-ton monster dubbed the “Rio Tinto Kestrel.” It stands at an impressive 37 feet tall and is powered by a 2,300-horsepower Caterpillar engine. The colossal machine is being used to haul iron ore from the company’s mines in Western Australia to its processing plant in Port Hedland.

The Kestrel is not only the biggest pickup truck in the world; it is also one of the most powerful. It can haul up to 300 tons at once and has twice the torque of other large haulers on the market. With its enormous size and power comes an equally impressive price tag; it reportedly cost $5 million to build.

The Kestrel isn’t just big; it also offers some unique features that make it stand out from other large pickups. For example, it has two cabins, one for driving and one for sleeping. It also has a self-loading system for loading up ore, as well as airbags for cushioning during long trips on rough terrain.

Hancock Prospecting isn’t the only company taking advantage of large pickups; there are several other companies around the world that have built their own mega trucks for hauling heavy loads or off-roading adventures. These include Mercedes Benz with its G63 AMG 6×6 pickup truck and Ford with its F-550 Super Duty 4×4 pickup truck.

Conclusion:

Hancock Prospecting’s Rio Tinto Kestrel is currently recognised as owning the world’s biggest pickup truck – a 600 ton monster powered by a 2,300 horsepower engine and standing at 37 feet tall – although there are several other companies around the world that have built their own mega trucks for hauling heavy loads or off-roading adventures
