Not that impressive really. These trucks despite how big heavy they are, have a VERY low psi footprint because of the size of the tires (the weight is spread out over a large area). A monster truck will in fact float just like a boat because it's tires are so wide.
@buffyfoo normally I would agree when I see something like this but it is a real truck and real washers and hate to say it, not green screened or CGIed on top of those, they truthfully drove that truck on top of those washers....whether they supported the washers in another way I don't know, but it is real. I saw the making of. (of course I can't back that up since I can't remember where I saw it, although a number of people did take pictures of the event)
I was involved in the filming of this commercial, which took place at Downey Studios. The truck is real, but not a full sized monster truck. Its more like 3/5. It still had a huge motor however, and ran on ethanol which reeked of cotton candy. I found out you can actually choose which scent you (the crowd?) prefer. Haha.
As for the machines, there was a steel retaining wall 2 in. thick that was bolted into the cement along the outer walls of the 1st and last machines. Kind of like book ends.
@Blutspritzer I don't know what you consider a full-sized monster truck, but I can tell from the commercial that the truck that has the Maytag wrap is the Obsession monster truck. Google Obsession Racing. And that truck is 12 feet high and 12 feet long at least, I dunno what 'full size' is I guess.

I bet it's real. Similar concept to laying on a bed of nails... distributed pressure?
newbkd28 2 years ago

dude there is no way a washer and/or dryer can support no damn 18000-20000 LB monster truck without being damaged in some kind of way.
dont even try to convince me otherwise
