The Voodoo Mastadon Monster Truck.
Monster Trucks are custom built behemoths jacked up on fat wheels, with a serious appetite for destruction. They're not as agile or quick to stop as other vehicle classes, but they'll crush anything that gets into their path.
Debuting with the release of MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, the massive Monster Trucks are only rivalled by the Big Rigs, and will destroy anything in their path and crush anyone unlucky enough to be caught under their enormous wheels.
Just like Big Rigs, this new class of vehicles can easily plow through deep terrain that would otherwise hold down most other classes. However, Monster Trucks are rather understeer-heavy, very easily toppled over, and tend to bounce when landing large jumps.

Resemblance[]
The name says it all. However, most Monster Trucks are either regular vehicle bodies on a giant suspension or carbon fiber body panels on a pipe frame. But no matter what kind it is, all Monster Trucks have giant wheels.

Trivia[]
- In MotorStorm: Apocalypse, the Monster Trucks' engines have recycled Big Rig engine sounds.
- Monster Trucks are not featured in MotorStorm: Arctic Edge; however, their role is arguably replaced by Snow Cats.
- MotorStorm RC's description of Monster Trucks hint that they would function well in the arctic, for the fairly obvious reason of their massive, treaded tires.
- Though Monster Trucks are capable of running over smaller vehicles, it is recommended not to make use of it most of the time since even running over an ATV can cause the Monster Truck to lose balance on the ground.
- Monster Trucks are the only vehicle class with the ability to recover from flipping over. When a vehicle of any other class rolls over, it usually results in: the driver falling off, the vehicle wrecking, or the vehicle being unable to get back on its wheels. However, the Monster Truck's roof never caves in and its oversized wheels allow it to flip itself back up onto its wheels.
- The exhaust note that the Monster Trucks produce in Pacific Rift heavily resembles that of an alcohol-fueled carbureted V8 engine.
- Monster Trucks can still wreck Big Rigs by landing on top of them with their oversized wheels.
