Jan 20, 2025 | supercarblondie.com | Ben Thompson |Tom Wood

Drake took to Instagram to show off his super truck which is based on a Ram TRX and is suitable for any apocalyptic scenario. They say that everything’s bigger in Texas, so maybe this is just Drake’s way of fitting into his new home state. Pictures of Drake’s new ride were shared online and this beast is something special. This behemoth is a bigger and badder version of the Ram TRX – Drake may have 99 problems – to borrow from Jay – but a lame truck ain’t one.

Nov 11, 2024 | supercarblondie.com | Ben Thompson |Tom Wood

This Rolls-Royce pickup may be the most American Roller of all time. That may sound like a contradictory statement, given how synonymous the brand is with the UK. But Jordan Wojciehoswki and his dad John have gone against the grain with this creation.

There are over 100,000 parts contained within its walls – and one YouTuber was lucky enough to get a closer look.
