Nice I've just watched a show on one WoW
Maybe hard to find parts in the out back I know but as a daily driver it's got me thinking anyone want to help with crowd funding one for me there quite cheap
Didn't Richard Hammond get to drive the AMG version of this Merc 6x6 in Saudi Arabia a coupl'a years back?
Love it though I couldn't see the missus popping down to Woolies in it.
She'd definitely have room for the groceries though! ;D

wasn't that the one he drove in a mine or something through a puddle and back about 50 times saying awesome 4wd???
Wait a few years then buy an ex Australian Army one at the auctions, or join the Army now if you want to drive one without having to pay for it

I was in awe when I watched the Top Gear show on it.
Hammond driving it around a water part was pretty funny as well.
Lucky my Powerball jackpot is $40m next week!

Two different vehicles.
Merc designed the 6x6 to suit the ADF's requirments.
V6 turbo diesel, non-portal axles.
2 door version with a 30kg load limit when trailer fitted, limited to 80kph, $240,000. And it only seats 2 dudes.
That version up top, AMG V8 petrol, portal axles and so on, not limited to 80kph, retail at $500,000 plus.
That's pretty useless then if it'll only take a 30kg load with a trailer hooked up.
couldn't even get a jockey to drive it at the weight.
AMG 6x6 close to $1million (and it would have to be converted to RHD)
Multi Drive Technology Scorpion Landcruiser 6x6 = $180,000, 3tonne payload, 5.7tonne GVM...
Or the slightly cheaper Standard MDT 6x6
