We have seen what he Indian market has to offer when it comes to 6 wheeled monsters. Here’s what the rest of the world has to offer.
Toyota Hilux 6×6
The Toyota Hilux is a hugely successful pickup truck which shares it underpinnings with the Fortuner. This 6×6 is based on a 2014 Hilux. It has been built by a Bulgarian off-road specialist ‘Vromos’. He has extended the truck’s frame to generate more space for the additional axle & the extra set of tyres. The vehicle has been modified to improve the off-road capabilities as well. There is a lift kit, LED light bars, a snorkel & a winch.
Hummer
The Hummer is one vehicle that everyone associates with toughness & go-anywhere capability. So it should come as no shock that people have modified Hummers to have 6 wheels. This one has been given the all black treatment. The headlamps have been changed and there are additional auxiliary lamps in the front. The vehicle still only has 4 doors though.
