What’s cooler than celebrities? Well, for any car maniac, it's cars. And when you put both together, you get celebrity cars, which are like the coolest things on wheels on this planet, mostly because they are so radically modified when it comes to power, luxury, and sometimes even security that they become a class apart. And the coolest of all celebrity rides have to be pickups - big, brawny, 4x4 monsters that overshadow just about anything else on the road.
In this list, we rounded up our favorites among all the coolest pickups owned by celebrities because, let’s face it, there are a lot of pretty faces out there, and a lot of them own a pickup.
So which of these celebrity pickup trucks would you love to have a ride in, or want for yourself? Let’s check them all out…
10 Dwayne Johnson’s Ford F-150
What’s tougher than The Rock? Well, The Rock's ride, that’s what. And if you can't smell what the Rock is cookin’, or raise your eyebrow to your hairline, then getting your hands on a Ford F-150 is the next best thing to do.
Of course, being Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson means his Ford F-150 isn’t just a Raptor, it’s a bright-blue Hennessey Performance tweaked VelociRaptor V8, which is why the next Jurassic movie should ideally be all about him and how he pounds dino meat into a burger.
9 Lady Gaga’s Ford SVT Lightning
What does Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta like to drive? Don’t care? Well, you would if you knew this woman with the long and somewhat staccato name is Lady Gaga. And while she can afford the coolest of rides, she still drives a gorgeous 1993 Ford SVT Lightning, which would almost be blasphemy if it weren't a Lightning.
Despite her hundreds of millions of net worth, she drives a truck that can be had for some $40,000-50,000 in mint condition. But who’s to come between a girl and her love for trucks?
8 Kid Rock’s GMC Sierra Pickup
The GMC Sierra is cool enough, but when Detroit man Kid Rock got his hands one, well, the stock wasn’t an option anymore. And so the dude got a 2017 GMC Sierra and took his ride to Rocky Ridge off-road tuners who not only lifted the truck six inches off on 35-inch tires, they added a plethora of custom-made additions, turning this ride into one of a kind.
A signature “stealth coating” was added into the hood and bumpers that gave this truck a whole new look, along with a steel bull-bar that makes it look like a beastly thing on the loose.
7 Kourtney Kardashian’s Chevrolet Silverado
Five-footers, kindly stay away. Being a petite five feet tall herself, Kourtney Kardashian of the infamous Kardashian-Jenner clan may be a pint-sized beauty that many appreciate, but her Chevrolet Silverado definitely compensates for it. This white Silverado was not stock, because why would a Kardashian ever do something the normal mortals do.
So, with tons of custom upgrades, this behemoth is a sight to behold and one that Kourtney cannot seem to park in tight spaces. Why did she get it? Well, size does matter…
6 Channing Tatum’s Chevrolet 3100
Channing Tatum has those old-school ruggedly charming looks. And while he may have moved on from Jenna Dewan to Jessie J, Tatum’s taste in trucks is a little more, well, classy. He owns a 1957 Chevrolet 3100 in a gorgeous shade of teal and is often seen in it, beefing up his already beefed-up macho image further.
A chiseled dude in a classic truck, with that face – honestly, we doubt Tatum has ever had trouble with the ladies. Period. Of course, we do like his truck, only, we want it for ourselves…
5 Tim Allen’s 1956 Ford F100
Had Tim Allen not gotten in front of the cameras, he would probably have gone down a bad, bad road considering he was once a small-time drug peddler who quickly ratted out the big names once he got arrested. But the man brought his life back on track, and one of the things he now drives down the road to success is his custom 1956 Ford F100.
It’s a sight to behold in silver, especially since it has been done up by Nelson Engines into a Hemi-powered wonder which is now all automatic!
4 Shaquille O'Neal’s Ford F-650 Extreme
Shaquille O’Neal, along with being one of the most successful and richest of all NBA All-Stars, is also a giant of a man. How tall? Well, he stands at 7 feet 1 inch in height, and fitting this kind of man into a normal pickup is like trying to fit a cucumber in a can of condensed milk.
Enter the Ford F-650 Extreme, which has an extremely spacious cab to fit O’Neal in comfort. Plus, the 6.7-liter V8 powers it to the extreme as well, making it a truck we are extremely wary of.
3 Jesse James’s Ford Hennessey Velociraptor 575
Yes, Jesse James is the same dude who not only married America’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock but could not stay married to her for long because, well, he likes the women a bit too much.
That said, he is a car guy through and through and he too owns something similar to what The Rock has, as in a Ford F-150 Hennessey VelociRaptor 575, that comes with almost 500 horses. Gorgeous, you bet. And we think this is one girl, Jesse James would never cheat on.
2 Ken Block’s Ford F-150 RaptorTrax
If you are in the car world, you would know of Kenneth “Ken” Block as a rally driver. If it’s the fashion world you like, Ken Block is one of the founders of DC shoes. Either way, this is the dude who owns a very cool Ford F-150 RaptorTRAX Monster Snowmobile that can shred any icy surface.
Note that Ken actually sold his stake in DC shoes and later got into Hoonigan Industries to make apparel for autophiles. Once a car lover, always a car lover… That said; he has more than one Ford F-150 stashed away, each cooler than the other.
1 Blake Shelton’s Nissan Titan
When Nissan heard that Blake Shelton, the musician, loved their Frontier truck and considered it the most “badass” ever, they had to partner with him, for his tour. For Shelton’s “Doing It To Country” tour, they not only partnered with him, but gave him a Nissan Titan as his own, in the trim he wanted, and as powered up as he needed.
Badass isn’t a word that fits this truck anymore because this country-singing cowboy now has a truck that can withstand anything, go anywhere, and blare “redneck” as it does.
