Jester

Jester is an Escalade monster truck that tours with Razin Kane Monster Trucks. It was built in 2013-2014 and made its official debut in 2015. It is owned and driven by Matt Pagliarulo.

History
Construction on the chassis began in 2013 and continued for about a year into 2014. Then, in 2014, Jester was finished and began under-going test runs. Finally, the truck's paint and decals were added in 2015 and the truck began competition. Matt has been touring with RKMT for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, as both teams are based out of Florida.

In 2016, Jester featured an exclusive St. Patrick's Day scheme for Monster Jam World Finals 17 pit party, since the event partially took place on St. Patrick's Day.

Staged Arrest Incident
In September 2015, in El Paso Texas, The Jester Monster Truck team posted a picture on their official Instagram of a crew member appearing to get arrested after the truck was supposedly driving down a public road illegally (NOTE: even with trailer tires, monster trucks are not street legal due to lack of registration). The image information said that the crew member voluntarily got arrested all so driver Matt Pagliarulo could perform that weekend.

In April 2016, it was revealed that the incident and arrest actually didn't happen at all, but was rather a staged image done for laughs. The photo was taken at the event itself in El Paso and the officer in the photo began talking to the team and asking questions about the truck. It was at that point that they decided to stage the photo and post it on social media as a joke.
