Booooo!

I love bigfoot. I grew up in St. Louis where they have a store dedicated to bigfoot and he lives with his little van friend (can't remember the van's name). My older sister dated a manager at the store so i got to ride in bigfoot and the van multiple times! Loved it, super exciting when you are 8 years old!

That sounds pretty neat, I'm 25 and would love to ride in one myself

I'll see if my sis can hook you up

Boogie Van is better.

Holy shit! A Ford Excursion in the background!

I want to see Ford make an SUV bigger than the Excursion. It should be powered by two 6.8-l V10's and be called the Ford Exile!

The diesel excursion was rated at 21 mpg highway, not half bad for a vehicle that can haul 8 people and all of their stuff.

BOO! But I haven't cared about monster trucks in about 20 years.

Someone needs to be held accountable!

I saw a monster truck show when I was like 8. Fricken sweet. Loud as hell. I liked watchin' it on TV, too. Was always entertaining to watch while chompin' down some dinner. But then our cable company apparently got rid of Speed.

I would've felt better if they didn't bring Knight Rider back at all.

The good old days. I know I forgot a couple. These were my favorites though.

I used to play Monster Truck Madness 2 all the time also.

I always liked snakebite

I was all about Gravedigger as a kid.

Wow...

Wasn't Bearfoot a Chevy then switch to Dodge?

I think it was for a special MLB Firestone thing, though.

QuoteJuly 15, 2010 - Yes, you read it correctly - BIGFOOT was a featured vehicle at the 2010 MLB All-Star FanFest weekend. We were brought aboard to help represent Firestone, which is the ?Official Tire of Major League Baseball? and the ?Official Tire of BIGFOOT?.

When we read about Firestone becoming the official Tire of the MLB, we knew we had to figure out a way to be part of the 2010 All-Star game! With Firestone sponsoring our fleet of trucks and with BIGFOOT displays at Firestone dealers across the country, we knew this would be a hit for Firestone and their customers. We immediately had our graphics department put together a few sample drawings and presented those to the folks at Firestone for their opinion. We all agreed it was a GREAT idea, but Firestone needed to get approval from MLB.

Drawings were sent in, tweaked, and finally approved. There was really only one major question: Since Chevrolet is the Official Truck of Major League Baseball, could the All-Star Firestone-BIGFOOT truck run a Chevrolet body, so BIGFOOT could be at the 2010 All-Star FanFest? The answer: YES! That very day we ordered ourselves a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado fiberglass monster truck body and got to work! We even went so far as to build a Chevrolet big block 540 cubic inch motor with Trick Flow heads!

The truck turned out awesome with the Firestone-MLB graphics package! There were also a lucky 10,000 people who received a 1/64th scale die cast Firestone-BIGFOOT toy given out during the event!

Yes. Monster Patrol did the same thing.

Mustangfan2003 · July 23, 2010, 09:21:34 PM

And Walker Texas Ranger went from a GMC to a Dodge, wtf is up with that. I'm a Ford guy but I would know better than that.

This is the only other one I remember apart from Bigfoot:

Bigfoot switches to Chevy
