What the hell happened?

 

old school big foot > this big foot

and not because old big foot was a Ford..

 

What the heck happened indeed... So who will now step up with a Raptor monster truck?

 

We get KITT and they get Bigfoot I guess.

 

If memory serves, FMC stopped throwing money/support at Bigfoot, so the switch was made to Chevy. I thought I had read Bigfoot was to be a Toyota, but guess I was mistaken . . .

 

what!?


.... that is super dumb. probably because Bigfoot wouldn't do Monster Jam. i just checked the offical website... worst website I've ever seen. Maybe that's why ford dumped them.

and also to add to it. They dont even know if this is going to be permanent. I honestly dont think it will be.

 

 

Ford has an officially sponsored monster truck. It's Blue Thunder.

 

I'd be willing to bet money that the only thing Chevy or ford on that vehicle is the fiberglass body. So really the switch isn't that big a deal.
Personaly I'm a fan of bigfoot 1 as seen in Take this job and shove it with the 48 inch Terra tires.
This is by far my favorite version as it's **** near street legal
Hell down in this bloody state it probably is

 

But it had unintended acceleration and kept driving into crowds....
I guess they figured Chevy's would never get going fast enough to do any damage.
People would be able to get out from infront of it at full tilt

 

Yeah, but you have to be fast to duck those flying connecting rods!

 

Boy! Big Foot is now a Chevy .... this world really IS going to hell on a rocket sled! They better give us Grave Digger or Maximun Destruction in exchange!

 

Read this article on it. it states that it might not even be permanant.

Monster Truck branding is even less honest than NASCAR branding, we're talking custom-built chasis with Zero connection to any road vehicle. But more than that, what is Bigfoot anymore? Look at that truck, other than an almost invisible sticker does anything say "Bigfoot" to you? Back when Bigfoot used modified F-series bodies and painted their trucks blue they were something special, now they're just another sticker lost in a sea of sponsors.

 

I really doubt they switched over to Chevy. They could have just built that one truck due to the fact that Chevy is the main sponsor for MLB. Check out the website of Bigfoot.
