🏎️ Max Found the Most Preposterous Truck EVER

presented with…

Good morning, dear readers. It’s Friday.

Monday we decided to buy a 4-door commuter car, but what if we needed something to haul some plywood back from the Home Depot for a weekend woodworking project (to build some cornhole boards, of course)?

Monday’s Aston cannot do that.

And what about that hike you’ve been wanting to do, the one with the trailhead a couple miles down that gravel road?

And that bridge that’s always SO CONGESTED with traffic, the river it crosses is only 3 and a half feet deep. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to just… drive through that?

“Surely, undoubtedly, some practical thinking company has covered all of these bases with a nice, lowkey vehicle?” - you ask, wondering deep in your bones wtf Max is cooking right now

Dear readers, I have the solution.

But… yeah, its not exactly under the radar.

HERE IT IS: A 2015 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6

It was invented by AUSTRALIANS(?)

When you first look at the G63 6×6, the first questions that pop into your mind might be very logical things, such as…

Why? For what reason? HOW?! Where do you even DRIVE IT?

All will be answered in due time, dear reader. But let’s cover the first one first, its origin story is probably not one you’d expect.

Back in 2007, the Australian Army decided that the OG 4 wheeled G-Wagons they had been purchasing just weren’t cutting it for their ongoing, centuries long conflicts with rebel kangaroos.

They contracted Mercedes to build a variant of their existing G320 that was even more capable.

Mercedes was like an eager intern just looking for an excuse to go WAY overboard because they’ve finally been asked to do something other than keep building the same G-Wagon they’d left unchanged for basically 20 years at the time. They went overboard.

They extended the wheel base of the existing G-Wagon, added ANOTHER AXLE, gave it 5 differentials, and basically loaded the sucker up with every off-roading doohickey they could think of.

THEN, SOME ABSOLUTE BRO (or bro-ette) at Mercedes said “Wir sollten eines für die Öffentlichkeit machen. Außerdem liebe ich Lederhosen.” (translated: “We should make one for the public. Also, I love Lederhosen.” (paraphrasing a bit))

Realizing a road-legal 6×6 for the public was already preposterous overkill, they decided to do the right thing and keep leaning into how wild this thing is.

Instead of the low-power, workhorse diesel engine in the military version, they took the twin-turbo V8 from a G63 AMG 4×4 and stuck it in this.

Awesome.

It can drive ANYWHERE

Okay, I alluded to the fact that this thing had a bunch of off-roading features before, but what actually makes it so capable?

Firstly, and most obviously, the 6×6 system. Most cars are driven by 2 or 4 wheels. That means you have at most 4 contact patches with the ground that the engine is able to propel you forward with.

With 6 wheels, all being sent power by the beefy V8 under the hood, the G63 6×6 can simply take on steeper gradients and tougher terrains than cars with a lowly, paltry, proletariat FOUR wheels.

It also has Portal Axles, which provide a ground clearance of over 18 inches (5 inches more than a Ford Raptor) and additional axle shielding.

Its FIVE DIFF LOCKS mean you can maintain traction nearly ANYWHERE.

It has a built-in tire pressure control system, meaning you can inflate and deflate all six of your tires from the comfort of the driver’s seat.

AND, the thing can drive through 39 inches of water. MORE THAN THREE FEET. WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT.

No, this is not a joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZc6kZB0q9A

It has the luxuries all the Celebs LOVE

It’s basically all of the same creature comforts you’d find in the normal G63 AMG, which you can learn more about in one of our past posts.

But I bring that up to say…

This thing is expensive, unique, capable, and comfortable. Driving it around will draw attention. As such… it’s kind of the perfect celebrity car, and if you buy one, you’d be joining the ranks of the Crown Prince of Dubai, Drake, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Dan Bilzerian.

An… eclectic squad.

OH! I forgot to mention, this one technically has a rebuilt/salvage title. So, financing might be a trick. You may have a hard time convincing your local credit union to finance a, nearly one million dollar, salvage title 6×6 truck.

But this one seems to be in great shape, regardless. The title status might give you a little discount if you can figure out the whole… getting 700 grand thing.

Oh, if you buy it, can I borrow it to grab some stuff at Lowe’s next weekend? Thanks!
