You may or may not be familiar with The Carnivore but I am willing to bet any tailgater worth his salt that has seen it would kill to have it. It’s a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD that converts into a sports bar/outdoor kitchen with the push of a button. It was originally priced at $250,000 but I just heard word the price has been slashed drastically to $98,750.00! From a quarter-million to just under 100 Grand, are you kidding me? That’s one helluva a discount and you get this impeccable tailgating machine? Keep in mind this rig was one of the five finalist in the Tostitos “Beat My Tailgate” Contest back during football season. Take a look at the video to see how this converts from a regular truck to the ultimate tailgating machine on four wheels.

Here are the highlights before getting into the nitty gritty of the specs. The Carnivore has two Freedom Grills, an FG-100 on the back and an FG-50 on the front. There are a total of 7 TV screens, a KVH satellite, and a refrigerated center console and the satellite and TVs are built right into the tonneau cover.
