- Mat’s once again got his hands on the HUGE Hennessey Mammoth, and he’s about to find out what it’s like to live with when undertaking everyday tasks in the UK!
You see, driving one of these in America probably isn’t an issue, given their huge highways. But here in the UK, roads are much smaller! So will Mat be able to cope?
Well, it’s time to find out! He’ll start off driving it through small streets in a countryside village, after which he’ll be visiting a retail park to try out a few different tasks.
The question is, will he end up damaging the Mammoth? And more importantly, how many people do you think he’ll annoy in this gas-guzzling behemoth?! You’ll need to keep watching to find out! - Авто та транспорт
First?
Yup, First

He made that look incredibly hard. You can tell he's not used to driving anything big. Also that couple at the gas station would of got cussed TF out in the states.
They would here too, itsnjust he's too calm, also I think it was faked. Tbh.
Tou get stuck behind people all the time in petrol stations.
This guys a nut
Yeah, I drive a larger truck in an older American town with smaller roads - no problems. Just pay attention to where you are in the lane and learn how to drive your car. Never hit anything in small parking garages and never worried.
Just kind of annoying.
The truck is the size of road 😅 European roads are much smaller than American roads
@Katya Mamoshchuk no its not, he always had like 3 feet on either side of the truck. He's just intentionally creating issues and then blaming the truck where he had ample room. I don't understand reviewing a vehicle but not trying to drive it well. That truck is about the size of a large van that you see tons of in Europe. Tons of people drive those with no problems.
I'm not mad at it being funny that the truck is big, I'm more mad that we have 15 minutes of edited footage of this guy wasting everyone else on the road's time for a laugh. He comes off rude
Those people getting annoyed and Mat still shows us the receipts before pulling out😂😂
Edit: Look mom i’m famous
It's scripted they could've easily drove off like from a parking space plus the van behind them could've pulled off
😂
@@AmadeusBrown I hope its scripted that was a dick move by matt
I was wondering why he didn’t just drive it in gas station properly
@DD91 DD91, this car never failed to amaze us.
The texas license plate really pulls it all together
No it don't, Texans drive diesels and think this truck is small.
@@AndrewTodd-jy9ij bruh... its a big truck, quit the cap.
@@lynch42o that's a normal truck in the South, sorry you didn't like that reality but it's the truth kiddo. Texans are in diesels that would tower over that. Hell, I drive a 7.3l OBS that makes this thing look tiny.
@@AndrewTodd-jy9ij we don't think it's small, but it isn't unusual. no need to make this into a pissing contest
@@lynch42o its not even that big to be honest. it only looks big because your cars are tiny.
If you work those gas prices out, it can be converted to roughly $1.93 USD/L, which is close to $7 per gallon?! That is crazy. We pay $3-$4
it's partially gas taxes to reduce the amount people want to drive. driving isn't a requirement as much in the UK as it is in the states
@@realryleu I think it’s ridiculous that you justify a government restricting your freedom of movement via making it financially impossible to do things you want to do
@@realryleuthe US prices also includes taxes. Its actually around $5 here in california because they tax more than other states. It’s looks like in the UK they tax significantly more.
@@idkman360 Its not restricting, its trying to get people to not drive. Driving is just bad and every other alternative would be better
Soon it will be that price in America. The rest of the world pays $7 a gallon or more. If you can’t afford it, drive something smaller. In Canada we pay $1.60 per litre ($6.04 per gallon). After exchange rate it equals $4.42 USD.
Matt saying they are annoyed but still decides to come to the camera to show the receipt 😂😂
Yeah exactly that's what I came to say
What a legend 😂👍
lets ignore the fact that he backed in via the exit and cut infront
@@autoshitnl2852 because he couldnt get around the station lol
The guy appears kind of delusional. Driving on those roads wouldn't be that bad, might as well be one of their typical work vans driving around. Is it routine for him to magnify whats going on?
It’s crazy hot that’s not a huge truck here in the U.S. but it looks absolutely massive in this video
that is definitely a large truck even here in the states
It’s large in the US and Canada but not THE largest, you can also see how our roads are
older and narrower, even a full size Range Rover is too big for some places
It's big, but it's not like it's a dulie.
@@Daniel-xg3ul there's trucks bigger than this and smaller than a dually. F250s get absolutely mammoth if you spec them double cab long bed
The Turkish recently made the BMC TULGA
Its similar size to a new F350
But longer
He said “why do they call it ‘gas’?! It’s a liquid??” We know, it’s just short for gasoline
We know it's gasoline but "gas" is not liquid, it's not like you're filling up with hydrogen
Also why do they call it petrol in the UK? petroleum is the unrefined version of Gasoline.
Anyone who isn’t familiar with American trucks, this truck is considered a medium sized truck.
You can get one that is almost 1m longer.
I pull a 6.8m trailer with a truck the same size in the video.
It's the biggest version of a medium sized truck though. 6" wider and 4" taller than the base 1500.
That's not true at all. This is a full sized truck just not a heavy duty full sized truck.
A Ram 1500 is a full-size truck, larger than midsize trucks like a Tacoma/Ranger, larger than compact trucks like a Maverick. The latest generations are ridiculously large, they are not to be normalized.
1500 is full not middle 🤦
@@Macky4941 It's smaller than a 3/4 or 1 ton, which are very common. But whatever, it's just semantics.

Bro drove the truck like it was a semi 😭
Big pickups like these would definitely be easier to live with if they had rear wheel steering.
Except trucks like this are usually used for actual work, albeit this one is a little too fancy to beat up. You definitely wouldn’t want the added complexity of rear wheel steering when your job is half a mile up a mud “road” on a strip mine lol. That shit would break so fast and cost a fortune to fix.
I think Chevy did that in the early 2000s

Now imagine driving a ford superduty, crewcab with a longbox in Britain! What an fun experience that would be!
Make it a dually

An F450 would be hilarious over there! 😅
F-550 Earthroamer LTi Would be great.
So I have both lived in England and Scotland for a bit over a month recently and also own a 1997 f350 crewcab longbed here in the states. I can confirm it would quite literally be impossible to drive that truck over there. The turning radius is what would make it 100% impossible.
Also hello fellow idahoan lolol
I love British humor and I love the history and old buildings in the UK. But man does this make me thankful of how much room we have to work with here in the US. I take ALOT of long trips every year and it’s nice to have a large comfortable vehicle that can carry everything quite easily ( I don’t drive something as big as this truck but I have in the past )
Imagine driving a lifted F450 King Ranch in UK. They’d faint. 😂
Matt’s ability to not give a shit what the people behind thought was absolutely fantastic. I wish I had that in my locker
I bet the production team offered to pay for their petrol if they didn't mind acting along. There is no way that he would choose to wind up innocent people.
@@subspaceanomaly Not so sure they were totally innocent, they had plenty of room to back up and then turn out (4:52) or at least get the van to back up which isn't pumping gas and has its engine running. Hilarious nontheless.
@@run6run751 there was absolutely not enough room around the side for them to get around the truck or the van. But the van 100% could've backed up to let them out.
Mind you I am an American when they started getting cross. I would’ve grown up to them and asked them if the reverse gear worked. and if they would’ve told me anything about needing to go forward, I would’ve said it wasn’t my problem because I’m fueling up just like they did
@@subspaceanomaly yeah I hope he did pay them. The sheer lack of courtesy was cringy
I love how this still has the Texas license plate on in the UK.
same lol
I was thinking the same. How can a Texas license plate be registered in the UK lol
@@moonlightcayenne8722 if someone in the US goes to Mexico or Canada they don't put Mexico or Canada license plates on it.
I didn't notice it till you pointed it out. Lol
You can drive in Europe/UK on foreign plates for up to 6 months. But you do need to buy a minimum of local liability insurance as your US insurance doesn’t apply. But there are plenty of companies that sell short term insurance.
The same applies to the US btw. I saw a Ukrainian plates Passat it Nj the other day. It only seems odd as compared to Mexico or Canada because it requires shipping the car.
My sister has a truck similar to the one Mat is driving. From this American, that was hilarious! Well done. I love British humor. Carry on! 😆

As someone who lives in the u.s i have to say iv never seen anyone drive a pick up truck so carefully 😆 🤣
All the ones I see drive like they are in a trophy truck race 100+Mph weaving in and out of traffic.
Riiight?! 3 point turn? That means gas it and just get loose until you're pointed in generally the correct direction 🤣
@@Ben_Lorentz yet never on dirt 🤣

I see a Hennessey Mammoth 1000hp every day driving to and from my job. And about 25 normal TRX outside that. It's crazy to think that you guys don't have these gas guzzling beasts like we do here in America.
because Americans get tricked into buying stupid things for status and regulators are non-existent in the USA
This was a cool takeaway, American trucks in the U.K. A lot of people looked visibly annoyed, I live in Texas where this is considered a half ton truck, we have to share the road with Ton trucks and big ol Dually’s out here.
Laughs in 2500 GMC Denali HD Dully 🤭
And they always drive like A-holes too
This video was staged! The truck isn't as big as it's made out to be. Delivery vans are just as big if not bigger. This video is just a bit of fun.
@@jimmyfarley5581 It's a bit exaggerated but it's accurate. European roads are very narrow compared to US roads also the white vans are definitely no where near as wide as the TRX so that's not a good comparison
@@jimmyfarley5581 did you see how small the van at 1:03 looked compared to the pickup? This video is not exaggerated at all
“It’s not gas it’s a liquid” … me as an American, I’ve never thought about it that way 😅😂😂
From a technical point of view it comes in as a liquid but when it enters the engine it becomes a gas.
Gas is just short for gasoline, so gas it’s not really gas…
Why do they call it petrol, petroleum is a by-product used to make the fuel. That's like calling tea leaf juice
it's for gasoline, we just say it shortened, not meaning actual gaseous matter. whether the shortened version is technically right, who cares, gas! murica!
It's short for gasoline
In Sweden its no problem at all driving a big truck. You see them every day.
great to see that you're giving some freedom to that plant
As a south asian I have no clue what Mat's talking about. There was plenty of room.

I love how he has a mile gap and says "this is going to be tricky" 🤣
Yeah, or how he has like 3 feet just to the white line and he's pretending to freak out..
His spatial awareness sux but i bet if someone was to hit him he would he just fine with all that crumple room unlike a european car( totaled vehicle and driver having several broken bones) in a minor fender bender.
Those vans are 9 inches wider than that truck lol
exactly, i drive my dads 08 ram 1500 with the mega cab and 6 1/2 foot bed regularly and i can whip that behemoth around like its nobodies business

People always trip about trucks but I’ve seen these same people drive a SUV of the same size 🤓
Wider roads and longer distances in most of the US. Although driving these trucks in any major city is still a pain lol. Smaller trucks are more popular in the cities, but most people drive compact cars and crossover SUVs in the cities.

2:45 “Gas” is an abbreviation of the word “gasoline,” which is the chemical name for petrol. This is analogous to calling something petroleum jelly as opposed to Vaseline.
He dodged all the scratches until picking up that brush😂
It's a wrap.
I came to the comments section hoping someone said it. Cringed he was using the brush. Cringed even harder when he used it on the rims then on the body. 😂
And are we not gonna mention the dirty hose casually slapping the shit out of the body as he's sanding it with that brush lol
@TaneMahuta he only used the brush because the truck is wrapped and he knew that before doing the video. The owner of the truck planned to rewrap it a different color anyway
I'd say the worst part is when he used it on the glass. Those little scratches are the worst to notice while driving.
Hi Matt, as a 'White Van Man' (1:10) driving 60K miles a year, I actually quite often reverse to allow others to pass because plain and simply I'm well practised and better at it than most other motorists.
Cool, you're in the minority but bravo!
Exactly, I couldn't for the life of me understand that why the heck,
1) They didn't use the the pump that was located in the front rather than the back one.
2) Why the heck they didn't ask the driver behind to reverse. Like if you are in such a hurry then just reverse.
@@tushargupta1968 couple in the little car behind were probably actors or spoken to while waiting and had their fuel paid for

Not to say it's not a bit more difficult to drive such a truck in the UK, roads are smaller and generally built for smaller cars. But here we wouldn't call that a monster truck, just a short-bed 4 door truck. Even so, this is a lot of fun, thank you!
Most Americans don't know this but Gas is the short form of Gasoline which is the same as Petrol

Hey, American here. I had a 1989 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series, drove it just fine around the city, but some parking spots the car just wouldn't fit in lol.
Mat's awkwardness makes this even more hilarious!
I swear if someone honks at me while I’m filling up like that I’m gonna purposefully take even longer
I would back into them
@@ericosgood499 🤥
They sometimes do that in my country. Very annoying.
Same. I understand being annoyed, but honking at someone when they are outside the vehicles is uncalled for. Fuck people that do this.
Normally I'd agree with you, but this guy legitimately blocked them in so I don't blame them for being pissed.
I'd be more pissed at the guy sitting in his van behind them and not pumping gas.
£200+ for gas is MAD
About 5 ft clearance on both side.
This dude: "Aaah this is so hard. Sorry... Sorry. "
A lot of people saying Mat’s making it look harder than it is, but I can’t imagine he has a lot of experience driving vehicles this large in narrow streets, makes sense to me he’s going to be nervous
He's also sitting on the opposite side of the car compared to the 'regular' scenario, which makes it pretty tricky in a regular car, let alone something this big. Plus, UK roads are usually more narrow than the US ones.
Ain’t no bigger than your average white van , just sits higher.
As some how owns a dodge ram 2500 in Scotland that’s left hand drive also iv had no issues yes some bits can be tight but everywhere he has been is no issue he just can’t drive it’s actually annoyed me so much as if you need a spotter look at all the space you have you idiot!
So we're watching an absolutely idiotic driver do some absolutely idiotic driving. Damn it, thanks for the fucking heads up.
But he also didn't wait on line for at the gas station. He clearly went in the exit and blocked those other cars in.
Mat dropping the food 2x and leaning most of his body out the window got me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can I ask how old you are? Like honest honest question
@@_-Anthony-_ wdym?
If you died then how did you write this stupid comment?
@@N1ckZ brudda do u not know what sarcasm is I didn't literally mean it.
@@_-Anthony-_ however old u think I am u don't need to know my age
And yet what an absolute beast of an amazing car.. I'd happily order one.... if I had the money
There's reason why no one would buy something like this in EU, they're both too big and way to impractical
More of these drive around episodes please. Matt is hilarious 🤣🤣😂😂
watching him using that brush on the new paint kills me... especially going from wheels to paint
Me too and then leaving soap on the truck. 🤯
This makes me appreciate living in Canada. Ironic part is that we still take wide turns in these trucks and can’t park worth a sh*t. Also, it’s not common here to sit in a stall for 10 minutes. I could never live in the UK.
Took me forever to realize the “3-ton” in the title was referring to the truck’s weight as opposed to the class.
Never use the car wash brush on the paint. People (including yourself) use them for the wheels and it gets a lot of gunk that will scratch paint
I literally cringed
Cringed super hard when he started using it
If you’re going to use the wash brush make sure you spray it down first to get rid of the gunk
who cares, thats not his car
As a Texan that grew up in the UK I can attest to how realistic this video is. For me, going back to the UK and driving a saloon/sedan is a nightmare, I cannot imagine driving a big old tricked out Ram TRX. Some of the country lanes in the UK are terrifying--there is nothing equivalent in the DFW area!

People at the pump:
He got in the truck and they started honking. I would’ve sat there for an extra 5 minutes out of spite. Like I get this situation sucked, but I’m actively leaving so you can piss off.
Who gave this man a driving licence? He can't drive to save his life.
I must congratulate Mat on not damaging any other cars or even driving over some with that Hennessey 👏🏻 . Boy that Mammoth is a beast in size compared to something like a VW Golf! Great entertainment Mat, can't wait to see the next episode with a Hennessey Venom F5...
