Known as the "Dhabiyan", the giant truck was built using sections of a Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Dart and the rig of an Oshkosh M1075 military truck.
The ridiculous creation is the brainchild of Dubai Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, well known for sharing pictures of his outlandish car collection on social media.
According to his Instagram account, he purchased the former US military transporter before stripping it back and adding the Wrangler on top as the driver compartment.
Dubbed the "largest SUV in the world", it also uses the rear bumper of a Dodge Dart saloon and even headlights from Ford.
It stands an incredible 3.2metres tall, is 10.8metres long and 2.5metres wide - meaning parking would be a total nightmare.

My pleasure Steve. My not so logical Google search string was "Sheik Mobile Truck". Thank you Google.

Well he is certainly ready for the next Mad Max chase.
