Imagine the Hoonicorn except it's a truck instead of a Mustang. I built this custom config of the Gavril D-Series nicknamed Thrustinator after the Transformers Collectors Club Exclusive action figure and it is bad fast. In fact, it made up the Utah Ashpalt Hillclimb in 0:53.696. Thus, making it one of the fastest trucks to tackle the hillclimb. What car or truck would you like to see tackle the Utah Hillclimb next?
