Stretched Ram pickup with 16-foot bed is quite the long hauler...
A 4x4 superfan built the super-long truck
And you thought your pickup could haul.
An off-road truck super fan has built a Ram 4500 with a 16-foot-long bed that offers twice the maximum length that the factory allows.
According to The Drive, the custom Ram holds a 205-inch wheelbase, which is longer than a complete Dodge Charger sedan and is powered by a 6.7-liter Cummins diesel motor.
It belongs to two Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan of Sharjah, UAE, which holds the world's largest collection of 4x4 vehicles and is a fully-functional vehicle.
Al Nahyan has even outfitted it with a tarp to turn the bed into a pool, which might be the most pickup truck thing you could possibly do.
He's not the first to create a super-sized Ram, however. In 2012, the automaker revealed the Long-Hauler concept, a Mega Cab Ram with an eight-foot bed, and an auxiliary gas tank sandwiched within them that gave it a range of 1,700 miles between fill-ups. That's enough to get it cross-country with just one stop.
Ram considered putting it into production but ultimately couldn't make a business case for it. However, it will be introducing the 702 hp Ram 1500 TRX later this year, which hauls in a very different way, covering a quarter-mile in less than 13 seconds.
The museum comprises several unique creations, including a Jeep Wrangler outfitted with pontoons.
