    The fact that he can flip that truck with those big tires is amazing to me. There has to be a seriously powerful engine in that thing to get it to move that quickly. I wonder how much the whole thing weighs.

    Most of those trucks have 500 and up cubic inch engines. They run alcohol for fuel and inject it into the engine thorough a big roots style blower. 2500 to 3500 horsepower is common along with a 2 speed automatic transmission. They trucks weigh around 10,000lbs. They are very impressive machines.
