‘Made in Pakistan’ 1,000cc Cybertruck – A Review
Today, we bring you a truly unique story in our user review series. It’s not just about a car—it’s about passion, effort, and innovation. This time, we’re reviewing Pakistan Cybertruck a remarkable project named “The Elephant” due to its massive size and gray color. The creator, a determined businessman with no engineering background, turned his bold idea into reality. Let’s dive into this fascinating story!
The Idea
The journey began with a desire to stand out. The creator wanted something beyond a regular cash transit vehicle—a bold statement that could grab attention. After extensive online research, he came across a picture of Tesla’s Cybertruck and thought, “Why not build something like this in Pakistan?”
With an unused Forland vehicle lying around, the idea transformed into a full-fledged project. Despite limited resources, he decided to take on this challenging venture with the help of local craftsmen in Gujranwala.
The Cyber Truck Build Process
The Cybertruck-inspired design took 5–6 months to complete. Here’s how it unfolded:
- Chassis & Base Vehicle: The Forland served as the base, with its 1000cc petrol engine still intact.
- Body Construction: Local craftsmen in Gujranwala built the body from scratch. The design emphasized simplicity, with straight edges and flat surfaces, making local fabrication techniques feasible.
- Weight Challenges: Due to the use of heavy-gauge steel, the truck turned out exceptionally sturdy, though slightly heavier than planned.
- Interior Modifications: The original two-seater cabin was kept intact, with minor cosmetic improvements.
The vehicle wasn’t just a fun project; it was built to function as a daily driver. However, its unconventional design has made it an instant head-turner on the roads. People have stopped the owner multiple times for selfies and to ask about the vehicle.
Performance Highlights
Despite its unconventional design, the truck performs surprisingly well:
- Engine: The 1000cc petrol engine still powers the vehicle efficiently, delivering decent mileage even with the added weight.
- Stability & Drive: The vehicle maintains stability even at 120 km/h. However, the steering position and visibility still need refinement.
- Brakes: The brakes were upgraded to handle the additional weight, ensuring safe operation.

Cost Breakdown
Building this masterpiece wasn’t cheap, but still cost significantly less than an imported vehicle:
- Base Vehicle: PKR 1.5 million (Forland truck).
- Customization: Approximately PKR 1.2 million for fabrication and modifications.
- Total Cost: with some additional costs, it stands at around PKR 3 million.
Challenges & Lessons Learned
The project wasn’t without its hurdles:
- Weight Issues: The steel body added unnecessary weight, affecting efficiency.
- Lack of Crumple Zones: Safety features like crumple zones were overlooked, which could be a concern during an accident.
- Improvisation: Due to a lack of technical expertise, many decisions were based on trial and error.
Final Thoughts
This Pakistani Cybertruck isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a testament to creativity and determination. It shows that with passion, even the most ambitious ideas can come to life. While its engineering may not match Tesla’s Cybertruck, it’s a bold step toward innovation in Pakistan’s automotive landscape.
