00:00Everyone likes pick-ups. This is America and we make the ultimate pick-up. The Compensator,
00:14yes I've heard of that. I think the bigger the truck, the smaller the package. I don't
00:19think we have many of those. Most of our customers have a purpose for this truck.
00:24The sky's the limit at Xtreme Supertruck, where one man and his crew build giant trucks
00:30as tall as 10 feet high for rappers, kings and hunters alike. But the ultimate in customization
00:37comes at a price.
00:39These trucks go from $89,000 to approximately a quarter million dollars and everyone likes
00:45big. We've got a Big Mac, we've got a Whopper, we might have a super truck.
00:48With the past 13 years, Chris Walker has torn apart big 4x4s and SUVs and built them
00:54back up again from scratch in his shop in Georgia, USA.
00:58The cool thing I do is I don't take a little truck and try to make it big. I actually take
01:03a big truck and I shrink it down. These are commercial trucks when we buy them and we
01:09turn them into, lack of better words, luxury pick-ups. This is how everything starts. We've
01:14got a cab, a couple doors, and cloth seats and rubber floors. And from here, we start
01:23doing our magic.
01:25Eager to see what magic Chris has performed on his behalf is customer Steven, who can't
01:29wait to see his new truck for the first time.
01:32It's big. It's black. The rest I really don't know yet. I had about 10% input and the rest
01:39is up to him. I'm ready to see it.
01:41Oh my God. Look at that. This is nothing what I looked at and it's friggin' amazing.
01:49When you lift that lid up there, you've got tons of secret storage.
01:53Oh yeah.
01:54Bad boy horn. Full air ride seats, custom center console. You've got an all-component
02:01stereo system. It's going to sound like you're in a concert hall. And by the way, I don't
02:05know if you've ever got to blow up your beach toys or you've got a flat or a quad's down
02:09on air. You've always got 10 gallons of air on your truck with an auxiliary air hook up
02:14there.
02:15That's nice.
02:16The really cool thing about this right now, there's one in the world. Cheers.
02:22All of Chris' builds are unique, but as well as size, they all have power, speed, and smoothness
02:27of ride in common.
02:30We're going to look at a red 4x4, 4-door pickup that's an Extreme. And it's 22.5 feet long.
02:37It's just over 15,000 pounds. It's 100 inches wide again. And I'd say it's about 9 foot
02:446 in height.
02:46So that's going to be a Cummings ISB 350 horsepower, 950 foot pounds of torque. The transmission
02:54is going to be a digital 6-speed push-button Allison, which is a 3200 series RDS, which
03:00it handles 1,695 foot pounds of torque.
03:04Through a Kelderman system, we've got no springs in our trucks. We have full air ride suspensions
03:09front and rear.
03:12All these trucks pull 25,000 pounds. They get 13 miles at a gallon. And they'll do 100
03:19mile an hour in a heartbeat.
03:21As huge as it is, this isn't even the biggest truck that Chris makes.
03:26The biggest truck is a 6-door, 4x4 pickup truck. It's 27 feet long. It's 100 inches
03:32wide, 9 to 10 feet tall, depending on the tire package.
03:36The huge pickup trucks certainly stand out, alongside vehicles of more standard proportions.
03:41It's just a dream come true. You've got the time and the money. It's something I would
03:48like to do.
03:52And Chris is justifiably proud of his bespoke creations.
03:55They can only get this truck from one guy in the world. And it feels cool to be able
04:00to build it for them and knowing that it's such a quality product.
