YouTuber buys world’s lowest truck for cheap on Facebook Marketplace and ends up with a ‘death trap’

The fascination car owners feel when their vehicles are lowered is a tale as old as time, but have you ever seen a lowered truck? Even if you have, the world’s lowest truck will certainly make you wonder.

It’s not because of an aftermarket suspension or an altered chassis, but something even bizarre.

The custom truck is sliced in half, and it’s driveable.

What’s more, someone bought it from Facebook Marketplace, and it turned out to be a rather horrifying purchase.

Man bought the world’s lowest truck from Facebook Marketplace

YouTuber HeavyDSparks recently posted a video about him going to the owner of the world’s smallest truck so he could buy it.

Now, he knew what he was getting into — since it wasn’t your everyday vehicle purchase.

He even thought it might have been a scam similar to what happened to this YouTuber when he ordered a Chinese sports car.

But thankfully, it wasn’t.

Despite knowing what he was purchasing, the YouTuber was baffled when he saw the actual thing in person.

It’s not every day you see a driveable sliced-up truck, so it certainly was a sight.

We’ve seen our fair share of absurd ‘low’ vehicles like this Volkswagen Beetle that looked like it glitched.

There was also a Fiat Panda that gained a reputation for being the world’s lowest car.

Further, the YouTuber noticed one odd thing, which wasn’t exactly great for safety.

A sliced-up safety hazard

Well, the world’s smallest truck itself was a safety hazard for roads since it was so close to the ground.

To get inside the world’s lowest truck, the YouTuber had to use the makeshift sunroof instead of the doors — which were ‘functional,’ by the way.

Not only did he realize he had to rely on his hands completely to drive it, but also he would have his head sticking out of the sunroof.

Using your hands to steer and control the gas and brake pedals is a safety concern, and the sunroof part made it worse.

You see, the sliced roof didn’t have any protection on its edges, so the driver’s head would essentially be extremely close to sharp metal.

That doesn’t sound all that safe while it’s being driven.

Hence, the term ‘death trap’ instantly came to his mind.

The YouTuber only bought it because he wanted to make it a project vehicle, which he did.

After all, he has considerable experience with trucks, and once, he even spotted one of his creations randomly in Utah.
