Toyota Comes to SEMA with Tundra Monster Trucks; Brings Out Our Inner Child

Find someone who doesn't love monster trucks and you can be almost certain that they will be dead inside. Just look at these beauties currently being showcased at SEMA. Toyota has touched down in Las Vegas with two Tundra-based Monster Trucks, the first dubbed the Hiring Our Heroes, created by Steve Zion and mechanics from Toyota of Wallingford. As well as featuring a modified frame, it comes with custom SWR wheels wrapped in massive 66-inch tires, nitrogen shock absorbers and a 580-hp 5.7-liter V8.

The truck came about after Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant Dakota Meyer wanted to highlight the need to help veterans find employment. The Tonka Tundra Monster Truck pays tribute to emergency responders, and comes with a tri-color body, Bushwacker fender flares, 10+ inch suspension lift, Fab-Fours bumpers, and 20-inch KMC alloys wrapped in 40-inch Toyo tires. TRD parts on the truck include a supercharger, sports exhaust and Big Brake kit.
