Hot Wheels Bigfoot, also known as Midwest Madness Bigfoot, is a monster truck owned by Bigfoot 4x4 which debuted in 2019 for Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live. The retro body design is modeled after Bigfoot 1, similar to ones used for displays of Bigfoot 12. In 2019 and 2020, it was driven by Rodney Tweedy on Bigfoot 14 for the North American tour. A version using a similar paint scheme on a more modern Ford Super Duty body shell was used by Darron Schnell on Bigfoot 19 for the 2020 European tour. In 2021, a new paint scheme resembling blue and orange graffiti on the retro Ford body style has been used by Rebecca Schnell on Bigfoot 15 for the fall 2021 US tour and 2022 European tour, and and by Christian Norman on Bigfoot 18 for the 2022 United States tour.
