Fullboar is a Ford F-250 monster truck driven by Ed Eckert out of Knoxville, Tennessee (formerly Newago, Michigan). Ryan Fales was a backup driver for Ed at times. It's not known what year(s) or show(s) he competed in. The truck is best known for running the smaller venues and also known for his fast-paced cyclone donuts. Its first chassis, formerly Slick Willy, was up for sale a while ago, recently sold and became a race version of Mud Rat. Ed Eckert got a new Cohen built chassis for 2017. The new truck is called "Fullboar 2.0". 2017 would be the last season the truck ran in Monster Jam. It originally was a part of Perrin Motorsports, before becoming its own truck.
Trivia[]
- Fullboar was one of the first 5 trucks to ever perform in Israel (2007). It was part of a foreign tour.
- It is one of few trucks to have a Hot Wheels version made with a bar as a sponsorship, which is normally censored, as they are intended to be sold to children.
- Fullboar had a more stylized Hot Wheels concept made for one of its releases, intended to be the new paint job. It was never used.
- Throughout the 2008 season, Fullboar ran a Jolly Roger flag, with a red "no" symbol covering the skull. This was likely intended as a playful jab towards Grave Digger, which is known for running a Jolly Rodger at most of its appearances.
- Ed created Fullboar after showing a truck at truck shows. Someone said he should build a monster truck & he did. He got help from friends.
- Ed put the entire operation on RacingJunk for $260,000, but it has been removed.
- The truck's website is fullboarracing.com.
