Jay Leno Tries A Jeep 6x6 Constructed By Florida's Apocalypse

There appear to be enough firms producing 6x6 giants based on normal SUVs and pickup trucks, and Apocalypse Manufacturing of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is one of the most popular.

It's the same business that produces the Ram 1500 TRX 6x6 known as the Warlord, as well as a 6x6 Jeep Gladiator. The firm's Gladiator 6x6 comes in 3 flavors, with the Hellfire, which was featured in the most recent episode of "Jay Leno's Garage," having the largest storage capacity. Tesla Cybertruck influenced the design of its bed, which includes a steel cover with an inclined top.

The car, obviously, eclipses even a garage as large as Leno's. That's partly because the car is equipped with the optional 40-inch wheels. A thermal night vision camera, a leather-lined cab, and a jet ski package are among the other possibilities.

Engine improvements are also offered. A twin-turbocharged diesel engine with 460 lb-ft of torque is standard. A tuned LS3 6.2-liter V-8 with around 500 horses is available for the power-hungry. The Hellcat 6.2-liter supercharged V-8, which produces a standard 707 horses, is at the top of this list.

Apocalypse has been doing exceptionally well, and not only in the United States. According to proprietor Joseph Ghattas, 79 orders for his 6x6 cars have been placed, with many of them coming from clients from different regions of the world, particularly the Middle East. With the diesel engine, the price starts at $150,000. If you want the LS3, you'll have to spend $175,000 for it. When you include the Hellcat, you'll need at least $195,000. One takes only three weeks to construct.
