what? There is an SUV just like this, and it is called the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. You've
probably seen one on the road towering over Corollas and Civics. You might have even asked
yourself what would be so appealing about these cars. Well, sit tight and buckle up as we take

The Mercedes G-Wagen Has Been Around For Over Four Decades

The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon has been around since the early 1970s. The idea for it came
from the Shah of Iran who was a large shareholder of Mercedes at the time. Although originally
intended for military purposes, it was offered as a vehicle for civilians in 1979. Over the past 40+
years, it has seen changes to its interior and mechanics, but the original design remained
mostly unchanged until 2018. With such a rich history behind the vehicle, it's no wonder that it
comes with the clout and respect that it does.

The G-Wagen's Static Design Made It Perfect For Customization

Since the design was largely unchanged for almost four decades, owners and purists had to
make changes to the G-Wagon themselves. Many of these cars have been modded in one
shape or another. You can get bulletproof glass put in one (not by Mercedes), you can get
custom headlights, custom interior design, and someone even turned one into a hot rod car. Not
to mention the number of changes that can be made to the engine and mechanics of one. Heck,
even Pope John Paul II had one as his Pope Mobile. If you have the money, the customization
options of the Mercedes G-Wagon are endless.

The Mercedes G-Wagen Crushes Off-Road Obstacles In Its Sleep

While the G-Wagon is now known for luxury, that wasn't always the case. Since it was designed
for military use, it needed to be able to handle off-road situations with ease. And it does just
that. The G-Wagon has a 7G-tronic gearbox, an impressive ground clearance of 9.25 inches,
and permanent all-wheel drive allowing it to handle even some of the most difficult off-road
situations. A man named Gunther Holtorf drove his G-Wagon through 215 countries, 559,234
miles, and it didn't break down once. That's reason enough to love the G-Wagon.

There's A Mercedes-Benz G-Class 6X6 Also!

Just when you thought the G-Wagon couldn't get any more badass, it does. The mad scientists
at Mercedes-Benz went and added two extra wheels to the G-Wagon. It comes with a six-wheel
drive, a twin-turbo V-8, and about a foot and a half of ground clearance. This baby can also
wade through about three feet of water, and do so with ease. And even though they look pretty
rough and rugged on the outside, the interior of these cars is actually quite luxurious. Mercedes
hasn't made too many of these bad boys (about 200), but the ones they have made are already
sold. If you find one, you better snag it.

While they may be expensive (some are being sold at almost $500,000) you are definitely
getting quality when you buy a G-Wagon. If you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a
car, you would hope it wouldn't break down. Most sites out there state that you can easily get up
to 500,000 miles on your G-Wagon if cared for properly. And while these are luxury cars, you
can rest easy knowing that the G-Wagon is one of the longest-lasting luxury cars out there. The
ruggedness and capability for off-roading means that the G-Wagon will be a tank for years to
come.

3. 5
The G-Wagon Is Hand-built

When it comes to luxury, Mercedes-Benz doesn't mess around. And look no further for evidence
of this than the G-Wagon. The G-Wagon has been hand built in Austria since 1979. The leather
inside these cars is hand-tooled, and even some of the V-8 engines in AMG models are
assembled by hand. It's this kind of love and attention to detail that Mercedes put into the G-
Wagon that makes it loved by purists and enthusiasts around the world.

The Mercedes G-Wagon Has Exceptional Build Quality

If you've made it this far, then there is no doubt that the quality of G-Wagons is top-notch. And
they should be. You wouldn't expect just any quality of SUV to be able to destroy off-road
situations. Everything from the strong frame, the luxurious interior, and the hi-tech electronics
that are inside a G-Wagon scream high quality. And that comes as no surprise. Mercedes'
reputation has always been one of high class and quality, and it truly shows with the design and
features of the G-Wagon.

The G-Wagen Is Used By The Militaries Of Over 40 Countries

A G-Wagon that the Australian military uses
Not only is the G-Wagon badass as a street vehicle, but there are special, non-civilian versions
of this SUV that are used by militaries around the world. It can come in hard or open tops, as a
pickup (though in limited numbers), or even with armor plating. Some other military versions of
this car have turret rings or come equipped with machine guns or automatic grenade launchers.
Now we're sure you would feel good driving a G-Wagon if you knew that they were used in
military operations to keep soldiers safe. Talk about security features.

And just when you thought that the G-Wagon couldn't get any more powerful, it does. Over the
years, Mercedes has upgraded the engines in these cars to make them stronger than ever. Just
take a look at the 2022 AMG G 63. It comes equipped with a handcrafted AMG 4.0 liter V-8
biturbo engine that comes with a crazy 577 horsepower. There are even multiple style and
performance packages that can be bought to make your G-Wagon AMG faster and more
luxurious than ever. What a time to be alive for someone who can buy one of these SUVs.

What would make a purist love a car more than they already do? How about the fact that many
celebrities and producers own and drive G-Wagons? The G-Wagon at this point is a status
symbol. A symbol of all your hard work and dedication to your craft. Celebrities like Kim
Kardashian and Megan Fox drive G-Wagons. Arnold Schwarzenegger even turned his into the
world's first fully functioning electric G-Wagon. It only cost him a cool one million to do, but we're
sure it was worth it.

These 6x6 Trucks Dwarf Every Pickup Truck You've Ever Seen
These 6x6 Trucks Dwarf Every Pickup Truck You've Ever Seen

SIDD DHIMAAN
UPDATED OCT 30, 2022

5. There are plenty of 6x6 options out there, but here are the 12 most captivating beasts of ‘em all
Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6Apocalypse 6x6
Front and side profile of the Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6
It sounds like 6x6 trucks might be a rare breed, but believe me, they’re not. You don’t have a lot
of offerings from the mainstream manufacturers, but there are plenty of models offered by
aftermarket companies, with some like Hennessey and Apocalypse even offering more than
one. So, here’s a list of 12 6x6 trucks that caught our attention and are sure to make your jaws
drop, too.
Apocalypse Warlord 6x6
Apocalypse Warlord 6x6Apocalypse 6x6
Front three-quarters shot of the mighty Apocalypse Warlord 6x6
Apocalypse is a 6x6 truck builder from Fort Lauderdale and it is imperative to have all its models
here considering how different each one looks from the other (and, don’t miss the fascinating
names!). The Apocalypse Warlord 6x6 comes with a third axle plonked in between the stock
two. A custom 0.25-inch thick steel frame had to be made for this build. It looks like a TRX for
the most part of it – especially the front fascia – but moves to the sides and the rear and
everything changes. The Hellcat V-8 engine is cranked up to make 797 ponies instead of 702
and comes with a custom suspension system that includes six active and electric Bilstein
shocks along with Dana 60 rear axle with lockers.It rides on 20-inch wheels shod in 37-inch all-
terrain tires, four KC LED spotlights, power sidesteps, etc. The extended bed features a full-
sized spare tire, too. On the inside, you’ll find a black and red two-tone leather and suede
interior. The 6x6 truck, when launched, came with a price tag of $250,000.
SF 6x6G by So-Flo Jeeps

Front three-quarters shot of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator 6x6 by So Flo Jeeps
The Jeep Gladiator has been quite a hit with 6x6 truckmakers, but this one by So-Flo Jeeps
took our breath away.. It features a full-time six-wheel-drive system created by re-gearing and
re-assembling the 5.13:1 axle. The middle axle is equipped with a nine-inch differential sourced
from Detroit True Track Locker. The 6x6G also rides on a five-inch lift kit with Falcon shocks
that allows up to 14 inches of suspension travel on each axle. It retains the same 3.6-liter, V-6
Pentastar engine that produces 285 ponies and 260 pound-feet of torque, but, you can also opt
for the optional 6.2-liter, LS3 V-8 engine from the Corvette that produces 430 horses and 425
pound-feet of twist. Coming to the exterior, you’ll find a steel bumper with a 9,500-pound winch,
power running steps, a custom Roll Cage, fiberglass “Predator Hood” with air vents, LED
headlights with color-changing red halo lights, and massive 38-inch Patagonia tires. It can even
tow up to 12,000 pounds. The So-Flo SF 6x6G came with a sticker price of $140,000. Opting for
the V-8 would require you to shell out another 30G.
Mercedes-AMG G63 6x6

6. The Mercedes-AMG G63 6x6 is the only six-wheel-drive truck on this list that comes from a
mainstream manufacturer. and is arguably the most famous one, thanks to its appearance on
TopGear. As the name suggests, it is based on the G63, but with a plethora of mechanical
changes. The truck comes with stuff like portal axles, off-road reduction gear in the transfer
case, five differentials that can be locked while on the move, a tire pressure control system, etc.
You’ll also find an independent axle suspension instead of the independent wheel suspension
and three axles that operate autonomously. As for the engine, there’s a 5.5-liter, V-8 engine
under the hood that makes 536 horses and 560 pound-feet of power torque. Power is
channeled to the wheels via a seven-speed automatic gearbox. Other than this, it also features
LED lights above the windscreen, stainless steel roll bar, and a plush interior. It was priced
around $500,000 a decade back.
Mammoth 6x6 by Hennessey
2021 Ram 1500 TRX Mammoth 6x6 by HennesseyHennessey
Side profile of the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX Mammoth 6x6 by Hennessey
Hennessey took the then-brand-new Ram 1500 TRX under its wings and gave it not just a dose
of extra boost, but also an additional pair of wheels. However, this wasn’t the only change on
the Mammoth 6x6. Hennessey also throw out the 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V-8 in favor of
the 7.0-liter, V-8 Hellephant engine. Coupled with a 3.0-liter supercharged that makes 15
pounds of boost, this engine puts out 1,200 horsepower! This is more than the Hellephant’s
stock rating of 1,000 horses and 950 pound-feet of torque. A six-wheel-drive system, a fully
upgraded suspension setup, LED lights, upgraded front, and rear bumpers, a new truck bed,
and a bespoke interior are some of the other things that are different from the stock TRX. The
aftermarket company announced just three examples of the Mammoth 6x6 and priced it at half-
a-million bucks a pop.
Apocalypse Juggernaut 6x6

Apocalypse strikes again, this time with the beastiest beast called the Juggernaut 6x6. Based
on the Ram TRX yet again (the ‘Warlord’ being the first TRX-based product), the Juggernaut is
far from stock in any aspect. The additional axle comes by moving a lot of things around and
installing a ton of new stuff. This full-time six-wheel-drive monster features an independent front
suspension, locking diffs, Dana 60 axles, and a high-performance cooling system. The 6.2-liter,
supercharged V-8 mill has been dialed up to churn out 850 horses; 148 ponies more than the
stock TRX. The Juggernaut looks nothing like the TRX on the outside; there’s an eight-foot
extended bed and the ‘largest cab ever produced’, hand-fabricated steel bumpers, live cold air
intake hood scoop, power steps, and massive 40-inch wheels. Inside the cabin, you’ll find a 12-
inch head unit, a Harmon Kardon audio system, heated and cooled seats, and the ‘largest rear
seat bench’. The Juggernaut 6x6 doesn’t come cheap; Apocalypse has priced it at $297,999.
VelociRaptor 6x6 by Hennessey

7. Hennessey ventured into the world of 6x6s with a beast called the VelociRaptor, and it was
based on the Ford F-150 Raptor. The company stretched the truck’s frame and moved the
actual axle slightly behind. In came a second rear axle that was placed in front of it with a pass-
through differential. This differential allows rotational power to turn its ring gear and the
driveshaft that connects to the second rear differential. The VelociRaptor features a special leaf-
spring setup at the rear with larger Fox Racing shocks. The independent front suspension was
lifted to achieve a longer travel range. When undertaking such an extensive mod, literally
everything needs to be tweaked. Hennessey extended cargo bed, installed custom Hennessey
front and rear bumpers, added a bed-mounted roll bar, and gave it 20-inch wheels wrapped in
all-terrain shoes. The same 3.5-liter, V-6 EcoBoost mill was tuned to make 600 horsepower and
622 pound-feet of oomph. A high-flow intake system, an air-to-air intercooler, and a cat-back
exhaust system were installed as well. The extra power compensated for the extra 700 pounds
that was a result of the custom axle and upgraded suspension system. When launched,
Hennessey priced the VelociRaptor 6x6 at $349,000.
Black Mamba 6x6 by Classic Overland

Front three-quarters shot of the Black Mamba 6x6 by Classic Overland
This unique 6x6 vehicle comes from Classic Overlands and is based on a Land Rover Defender
that was retrieved from a firehouse in South Africa. Called the Project Black Mamba, it comes
with a 3.5-liter, V-8 engine that churns out 430 horses and 425 pound-feet of torque. It is mated
to a six-wheel-drive system, obviously. As stated earlier, this was found in a firehouse in South
Africa and is a one-off model. To make sure the Defender can handle the extra load, the
company did a full off-chassis restoration with new undercarriage infrastructure, upgraded
suspension setup, and soundproofing, As for the aesthetics, the SUV-turned-truck featured a
snorkel on the A-pillar and a spare tire in the truck bed. Despite all the mods, it still retains the
classic Defender looks. Classic Overlands had priced this truck at $315,000, which wasn’t too
bad a price considering its exclusivity.
Hennessey Goliath 6x6
Yet another Hennessey build here, and this time, it’s the Goliath 6x6 that’s based on the Chevy
Silverado. You get to choose between two engine options - a 5.3-liter L83 V-8 or a 6.2-liter L86
V-8. If you have a free hand and are willing to spend extra cash, you can hook the 6.2-liter V-8
with a 2.9-liter supercharger that would push the power output to a staggering 705 horsepower
and 675 pound-feet of torque. Obviously, there is an additional axle here, but apart from that,
Hennessey also installed wheels, tires, and brakes, and also redesigned the rear suspension
setup. There’s a custom truck bed, extra LED lights, and a new roll bar. The wheels come shod
in BFGoodrich 37-inch off-road tires. Again, if you’ve got more cash to spend, you can ask the
company to throw in a Brembo brake system. On the inside, you can opt for Katzkin leather
seats as well. Priced at $375,000 a pop, the Hennessey Goliath 6x6 is limited to just 24 copies.
Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6
Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6Apocalypse 6x6

8. Front and side profile of the Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6
Yet another Gladiator-based 6x6 truck, and yet another Apocalypse build. The Hellfire looks the
part and comes with all the gear required to make it a kickass build. It is powered by a 500-
horsepower Chevy LS3 V-8 that’s mated to an eight-cog high-performance gearbox. As
standard, it routes power to four wheels, but you can choose to send all that oomph to all six
wheels as well. It also comes with an active suspension for maximum articulation and handling.
The Hellfire looks deadly on the outside. Quarter-inch thick steel bumpers, 9,500-pound winch,
a 12,000-pound trailer hitch, LED headlights and color-changing Halo ring, a lift kit, and 40-inch
tires are some of the things you’ll get. The marine-grade, hand-stitched cabin is as plush as it
can get and comes with a good amount of creature comforts. The Apocalypse Hellfire 6x6 came
with a sticker price of $150,000 before any options. Expect the price to get in the $200,000
ballpark if you opt for the 6.2-liter, supercharged V-8 Hellcat and other optional goodies.
Rezvani Hercules 6x6
2020 Rezvani Hercules 6x6Rezvani Motors
Front and side profile of the 2020 Rezvani Hercules 6x6
Arguably the most ferocious 6x6 to appear on the face of the earth, the Rezvani Hercules is a
beast incarnate. Although based on the Gladiator, it looks nothing like it. As if the 244-inch
length wasn’t enough to set it apart, Rezvani decided to paint it in black and contrasting orange.
The cabin isn’t as loud as the exterior, but comes with plus materials like the optional custom-
stitched Nappa leather seats and a suede headliner. The Hercules is offered with a choice of
three engine options. Firstly, there’s the stock 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 Pentastar, then
there’s the 500-horsepower 6.4-liter, HEMI V-8 engine, and finally, a 7.0-liter supercharged V-8
that churns out a staggering 1,300 ponies! You can choose to route the power to either two
wheels, four wheels, or all six wheels. The monster also comes with a three-inch Fox off-road
suspension with Dana 60 axles. A military edition is also available, if you want something
armored and solid. The Rezvani Hercules starts at $225,000.
Gladiator 6x6 by Next Level Offroad

Front three-quarters view of the Gladiator 6x6 by Next Level Offroad
Next Level Offroad is a Californian company that came up with a 6x6 truck based on the
versatile Jeep Gladiator a few years back. Unlike all the monsters created by other companies,
this one is a rather clean build. The Gladiator’s features like the seven-slat grille, the round
headlights, the bumpers, front fenders, and even the tailgate have been retained. The truck
rides higher off the ground, courtesy of a lift kit, which has enabled the company to equip 37-
inch Toyo tires shod in 20-inch beadlock wheels. There are three engine options to choose from
– a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, a 2.0-liter turbo four-pot mill, and a 3.0-liter, turbodiesel V-6. The
latter one is the most powerful, churning out 375 ponies and 470 pound-feet of oomph. Next
Level has also equipped this Gladiator with a six-wheel-drive system with a 4.88 gear ratio and
FOX shocks on all corners. When it came out, Next Level priced it at $132,000 before any
options.
Apocalypse Dark Horse 6x6

9. Apocalypse Dark Horse 6x6Apocalypse 6x6
Side and partial front view of the Apocalypse Dark Horse 6x6
Yet another 6x6 by Apocalypse, but this one isn’t based on the TRX; this 6x6 is built on a four-
door Ford Bronco and is christened the ‘Darkhorse’. Powered by the same V-6 as the stock
Bronco, the aftermarket company has tuned it up to churn out 400 horses, courtesy of large
injectors, a full exhaust upgrade, and software tuning. It also features a four-inch lift that has
allowed it to wear bigger shoes. This beast rides on 37-inch Milestar Patagonia M/T tires shod
around 20-inch wheels. Apart from the obvious changes like the extended bed – which
increases the length from 189 inches to 225 inches - and the additional axle, the Darkhorse also
comes with Kevlar coated steel bumper with two hooks, a lightbar, extended rear fenders, a
modified roof panel, and some extra side and rear windows. On the inside, Apocalypse has
opted for a brown and black leather interior. When launched, Apocalypse Darkhorse came with
a starting price tag of $175,000.
