Many of us look at large SUV's or 4x4's as too big or unnecessary. A large vehicle has its uses but generally speaking the smaller the vehicle the more user friendly it becomes. However SUV's or 4x4's are seen as tiny compared to these next 5 vehicles. Here are 5 of the largest vehicles in the world. --------------------SECOND CHANNEL------------------- Check out my second channel More5! for funny, weird, interesting news, along with the latest trending topics within the YouTube community.

This pickup, modified from the 1950's model, was the biggest pickup truck ever made. It holds four air conditioned bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a motorized tailgate that drops down to become a terrace. As you can see it's completely useless as a car due to its sheer size, so its more of house on wheels that you will realistically never ever drive. This is the exact result of when someone is bored and has too much money. 4) Antonov AN-225 This hulking strategic cargo plane was designed by the Soviets in the 1980s. With 32 wheels in its landing gear and a wingspan of 290 ft, this means you could just barely fit it on a football field. It has flown multiple times, but we don't see the exact logic behind this plane. Its humongous size makes it extremely expensive to run, fly & land, as many airport run ways just couldn't cope with its size. Yes it does have a lot of cargo space, but 3 or 4 Boeing 747's would be a much more sensible, economical & overall better cargo solution. 3) Bagger 288 This German built monster was built for one thing and one thing only. It's a coal mining machine which can mine up to an area the size of a soccer field down to 90 meters per day. It requires over 16.5 megawatts of power just to operate it. To put that in perspective, that kind of power could power over 2500 houses per day. With a top speed of 2-10 meters per minute, its not very fast but it sure as hell can mine better than any other vehicle in the world. 2) Prelude FLNG This giant ship is so large its basically an island. Built in late 2012 by Samsung for the petroleum company Shell, it cost a whopping $10 billion to make. At 1600 feet long, and weighing over 600,000 TONNES when operational, its not only a engineering masterpiece but astonishing to look at. As you probably have guessed this isn't a commercial ship instead its used to take natural gas and turn it into liquid out at sea instead of on land. 1) Schwerer Gustav This German WW2 Giant Railway gun was the largest caliber rifled weapon ever used in combat. This bad boy can fire 7 ton shells almost 30 miles away. It is the king of siege weapons, used in the second world war to take down one of the strongest French fortifications. The shells themselves are almost as big as a standard tank so you can imagine the destructive power this monster had. However its great size was also its great flaw. The Schwerer Gustav was so big it could only move on railway tracks, meaning it wasn't easy to move about or operate. It also required a crew of 250 to assemble the gun & 2,500 to lay down its tracks, meaning it was actually more of a liability than an asset to the German army. Only two where ever built & both where destroyed at the end of the second world war.
