My 6x6 will fricking crush that little bitch.


Did those things really have a 292 CI I-6? Or is that a newer model with a diesel?

I read that the WW2 Deuce and a Halfs almost all had that old GMC engine, and a top speed of about 48 mph. I imagine the axle ratio was pretty aggressive.

The result is 600 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 622 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm.

Can anyone estimate total towing capacity based on the numbers above?

Can you imagine how pissed you would be after spending $349,000 on a truck and it’s always in the shop

I will be parked next to the peoples cars that spent over a million on the Hennessey Venoms that are always in the shop. Steven Tyler gave his away because it spent more time in Texas than with him.

Doesn't seem like they want to build many at that price. Without the optional upgrades, that's realistically a $150k truck

You can get perfectly legitimate street cred in trailer parks all over LP with a regular Ford Raptor. I don’t see the practical application of six wheels.

I keep my trucks for more than 5 years, so I will go with the similar vehicle from any other manufacturer than Ford.


I know Consumer Reports isn't the be-all-end-all but they have the F-150 as the highest rated truck. It has a score of 72/100, Tundra is 71, Ram is 69, and Silverado way in the rear with 57.

I've been keeping up with their scores the last few years and Ram and F-150 seem to be flip flopping, but Silverado has consistently been way behind.

Pretty sure the G63 6x6 stickered for around $500k.
