If Big Pete amazes, Grim Reaper Monster Truck keeps everyone tense. As soon as this truck enters, everything changes. The engine sounds fiercer. The driving gets wilder. The action becomes unpredictable.
Grim Reaper joined the Big Pete family in 2006. It immediately brought new energy to the UK monster truck scene. Built on a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado frame, it keeps the classic American pickup look. But it is made and run entirely in the UK. With custom reinforcements and monster event modifications, it blends Detroit style and British engineering.

Under the hood is a big block Chevrolet V8 built to tear through stacks of cars. Its power moves through a TH400 gearbox to massive 66-inch tyres that grip, launch, and crush anything in their path. When Grim Reaper accelerates, it doesn't glide; it attacks.
Big Pete impresses with its size. Grim Reaper stands out for its attitude. It’s faster, more aggressive, and attacks jumps with fearless energy. Landings are rough. Cars get destroyed. The crowd enjoys every moment.
When Grim Reaper and Big Pete enter together, excitement soars. They’re different trucks, but they create controlled chaos. Side-by-side car crushes, high-speed chases, huge jumps, and big crashes—you wince and smile at once. It feels more like a gladiator battle on wheels than a show.
Grim Reaper doesn’t just drive over cars—it destroys them. Panels bend. Glass breaks. By the end, the cars look like twisted sculptures of regret. After Grim Reaper leaves, the arena is quieter. It’s filled with smoke and covered in flattened cars
This year, Grim Reaper returns to Monsterslam at Quex Park on Sunday, 26 July 2026. It’s ready to thrill as fans expect. With shows in the morning and afternoon, there are plenty of chances to see the noise, jumps, and wild action up close.
