Supercar Blondie’s Nathan Bain was able to get his hands on the world’s cheapest truck.
And he decided to do an unboxing – as you do.
It’s called the Chang Li Explorer and it’s pretty small.
At 3.3 meters, it is actually the same size (give or take) as the original Smart car.
It is powered by batteries but it isn’t particularly fast, with a top speed of only 28 mph.
It probably wouldn’t beat a Porsche 911 like the Cybertruck can but, on the upside, you can buy about 50 of these for the same price of a new Cybertruck.
This is because the Explorer only costs $2,000.
