Despite being rare & a bit absurd, there are quite a few options available in the market. Some of these are one-offs while some are near production level vehicles. Here we’ve rounded up the best 6×6 trucks now on the market –
Best 6×6 Vehicles on the Earth
1. Mercedes Benz G 63 AMG 6×6
Coming directly from the manufacturer, this six-wheeler has the advantage of being built from the ground up than making adjustments to the already existing vehicle for turning it into a six-wheeler. This also means that the engine is finely tuned by the company’s in-house tuners, sprucing this vehicle’s 5.5L Biturbo up to 544 hp & 561 foot-pounds of torque. It is also accompanied by TPMS to tune the front & rear axle separately. It is also 11 inches taller, 9 inch wider & 44 inches longer than a standard G63.
2. Kahn Defender Flying Huntsman 6×6
Everyone admits that the Land Rover Defender is a legendary piece of automotive history. It has been used for military, off-road purposes & general use. Taking it a step further, people at Kahn Design have turned it into a six-wheeler without changing the design language of the Defender. This monster is powered by a 6.2L V8 engine generating 430bhp. The company has made the vehicle 47 inch longer & 6 inches wider to accommodate fat tires.
3. Henessey Velociraptor
Hennessey, the minds behind the powerful ‘Hennessey Venom’ model entered into the 6×6 truck range with the Velociraptor. Named after the prehistoric predator, this is the beefed-up version of the popular Ford Raptor. This truck gets a twin-turbo V8 engine upgrade, providing it with over 600 hp. It also comes with optional Brembo brakes, upgraded LED lighting & even armouring system.
4. Devel Sixty
This is what happens when the minds that created a 5000 hp supercar try to make a 6×6 truck. Devel Motors, the company popular for its sports car ‘sixteen’ has created this absolute monstrosity powered by a 6.7-litre V8 turbodiesel making 720 hp & 737 foot-pounds of torque. The car comes with military-style wheels with a winch at each end of the vehicle for recovery. It lets six people sit inside it with aircraft like cabin accessed by a similarly styled door. It also comes with night vision as standard.
5. Rezvani Hercules 6×6
Also called ‘The god of all trucks’ by the company, the Rezvani Hercules 6×6 is the elongated version of the 500hp Rezvani Tank. Like its name, the truck shows herculean strength with a tuned V8 churning out about 1300 hp & 989 ft-lbs of torque. This is more than double the specifications of its rivals. There is also a military edition with upgrades like Ballistic Armor, night vision, bulletproof glass, smoke screen, gas masks, sirens, etc. Add all these upgrades and you have the vehicle ready for even an apocalypse.
