It is!
Like, this is what baby trucks look like before they grow up :)

It's absurd and hilarious and I love it.

But is it just a stock Tacoma with big wheels or did they do more body mods to it? It looks way smaller than even older style trucks like the bed was shortened or something but that could just be an illusion due to the size of the wheels.

I'd end up pulling it too far back and it would snap.

Look at the DUMPY on that thing

Put a tire on the back (like a penny) for wheelies!

Truck equivalents of the Airbus A318 babybus aren't real, they can't hurt you

He’s just popped out to retrieve the wives from Furiosa.

Mileage... 3 Mpg...yes

Say what you will. Make the wheels smaller and you have a pretty useful tuck if you're in the city.

Lil, I was just wondering today if something like this existed. A truck with the small two-seat cab and a bed that matches today's truck aspect ratios.

A stump truck

Fun fact, if you take the pullback wheel thing out of a toy car, wind it up and let it go, it jumps around all over the place. When I was a kid in the 80s we called them "crazy wheels."

I'll bet this little stub truck does the same thing lol

Gotta admit, though, it looks like some nice bodywork. ATBGE

I want to pull it backwards until it disappears

This looks like the truck equivalent of a really short guy with huge muscles and a perpetual scowl, who always keeps his shoulders directly above his knees and his hands in karate-chop pose while he walks.

You know, it absolutely does. It does look like him..

Steal a manhole cover, paint it to look like a penny.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago...

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And I'm so happy we got rid of them.

You sound like someone who hasn't seen the glorious ATF violation know as penny coin shot.

I don’t hate it….in fact I kinda like it

This is unironically awesome. Needs a bigger lift to give room for suspension travel though

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That thing has to turn weirdly.

Looks like if you accelerate too quickly it will do a backflip.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Probably turns on a dime and crawl and fit around hazards offroad like a champ

A monster truck the size of a minivan
