Bulldozer

Bulldozer was a monster truck owned by FELD Entertainment. Before FELD bought the truck in 1999, the truck went through several ownerships and drivers. Although the truck is retired, FELD Motorsports still owns the naming rights to Bulldozer, and thus, it has appeared in video games Monster Truck Madness 2, Monster Jam: The Video Game, Monster Jam: Urban Assault, and Monster Jam: Path of Destruction. El Toro Loco is loosely based off of Bulldozer.
