Hot Wheels is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original monster truck, BIGFOOT, with a special die-cast model and a revamped Ford truck. The 1974 Ford F-250 pickup was modified in 1975; four years later, the modifications were so extensive that it became the world’s first monster truck, leading to the industry fans and auto enthusiasts know today, including the Hot Wheels monster truck collection.
Fans can see the modified truck at Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live: Glow-N-Fire, which is on tour now. They can also bring the die-cast model home next year. Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Trophy Champions Multipack, Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Loop-and-Flip Trophy Challenge, and Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Trophy Champions Assortment will join the collection in 2025.
