These guys bought the largest truck in America, the International CXT, nearly 50 percent larger than the Ford F-150.
The pick-up is the size of a bus, and it’s massive all around.
The problem is it’s so massive it’s even too big for truck-friendly America.
These guys found out the hard way when they went to Atlanta.

Just how big is the world’s largest truck?
International isn’t exactly a household name these days, but this brand basically ‘invented’ the truck in 1908.
They’re still active and, among other things, they make the CXT, a truck that’s oven 7 meters long (23ft).
By contrast, America’s best-selling truck, the Ford F-150, is ‘only’ around 5 meters (17.4ft).
The truck is available with a 6.0-liter V8, and even more massive 7.6-liter V6, which is the only option for the version the guys from the Donut YouTube channel bought.
Still, at least you do get an incredible towing capacity considering the International CXT can tow up to 20 tons.
The only problem is that the truck is way too big, even for the America.
The guys from Donut found this out the hard way when they got a shopping mall in Atlanta, Georgia.
Getting in and out the car park was difficult to start with, but the biggest problem was the truck just wouldn’t fit the designated parking space.
Half of the truck can be seen sticking out in the middle of the road.
The world’s biggest trucks
The International CXT is the largest production truck available in the U.S., but it isn’t the largest truck in the world.
Depending on how you measure this sort of thing, that title would probably go to the massive 21-foot tall Hummer that belongs to the Rainbow Sheikh, so called because of his collection of identical Mercedes cars, one for each color of the rainbow.
He also owns another massive truck that has four bedrooms in it.
Alternatively, if we’re also including long-haul truck, there’s a gigantic truck in Australia that’s one mile long, equivalent to 156 London school buses.
Imagine what it must be like to enter a car park with that.
