Photos: Chill out and view the coolest truck ever made of ice

Just as humans find it difficult getting out of bed on a cold morning, cars often don’t like starting when temperatures are below freezing. Not only is there more pressure on car batteries in the winter as we rely on them for heating and lighting, but they also struggle to hold their charge. So, in a bid to… more prove that their batteries are unbeatable in the cold, a Canadian company has built a pick-up truck out of ice.
Workers took a 2005 GMC Silverado, stripped the body and fitted 5,000kg of chiseled ice to its chassis. So, it’s not really a truck made of ice, more of a truck with the coolest cabin ever. Ice sculpting specialists were called in to carve the ice – while car modifying experts fitted a steel frame to hold… more the strain. Water was used to weld the ice together. Combine the 5,000kg of ice with the 1,800kg of chassis and you’re looking at a very heavy truck. To put that into context: a new Range Rover weighs just over 2,000kg!!!
