Massimo has been building oddball vehicles out of Texas for about two decades, and its latest project skips the highway entirely. The Mini Truck is a retro-flavored go-kart shaped like a shrunken pickup, and a recent launch announcement ties it to Tractor Supply for the 2026 holiday season.
The styling leans hard on classic compact-truck cues and ends up looking like a modified International Scout in miniature, the kind of thing that makes off-road fans do a double take. This is recreational hardware for the backyard or the trail, not a street-legal replacement for anything with a title and plates.

Price, Specs, And Where To Buy
Massimo built the Mini Truck on its existing Mini 125 platform, then wrapped it in truck-inspired sheet metal. A steel frame, rugged steel wheels and coilover suspension at all four corners give it a more serious stance than a typical rental-lot go-kart.
Power comes from a single-cylinder, air-cooled 125cc four-stroke engine making 9 horsepower, paired with a three-speed semi-automatic transmission that includes reverse. That is modest output, similar to what you would find in a small dirt bike. It is enough to keep two people moving around a property at a manageable clip.
Inside, Massimo added an upgraded digital display, padded and water-resistant two-passenger seating with an adjustable driver's seat, and LED lighting front and rear. It is a step up from bare-bones go-kart trim, closer to what buyers might expect from a compact street-legal off-road buggy without the road-use paperwork.
Massimo lists the Mini Truck in its go-kart lineup with a $2,999 manufacturer suggested retail price. Tractor Supply currently advertises the Mini Truck at about $2,700 before fees, and both Massimo’s store and Tractor Supply’s site have shown early inventory selling through quickly.
That International Scout Look
Massimo designed the Mini Truck to resemble a shrunken vintage 4x4, with boxy fenders, a stubby hood and a grille treatment that echoes the International Scout more than any modern pickup on sale today. It is a deliberate nostalgia play aimed at buyers who grew up around classic trucks.
That retro-toy positioning puts the Mini Truck in company with other small, styling-forward vehicles chasing a similar nostalgia itch, including the electrified Fiat Topolino.
Massimo is explicit that the Mini Truck is meant for riders 16 and older, a detail that matters given the seating for two and the reverse gear. It is built as a teen-friendly off-road toy, and parents shopping it should treat it the way they would treat a side-by-side or dirt bike rather than a road vehicle.
Motor1's Take: The Mini Truck is part of a broader wave of small off-road toys that borrow styling from serious 4x4s. It scratches the nostalgia itch for adults, yet the size and price make it more likely to live at a cabin or on a few acres than in a suburban driveway.
It fills the space between a basic go-kart and a full-size side-by-side, with real two-seat practicality but performance that stays closer to backyard duty than high-speed trail work.
