Although the development of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 ended in 2015, its impact on the car industry continues to be noticed, inspiring the production of a 6-wheeled Ram 1500 TRX.

The bed of this 2021 RAM 1500 TRX truck was enlarged to allow for the installation of a third axle and two more wheels by Florida's Apocalypse Manufacturing. These are 18-in wheels with 37-in mud-terrain tires wrapped around them.

If you ever need a spare, Florida firm has added a seventh wheel to the bed. It needs to be clarified if Apocalypse's second axle is truly driven and if the RAM 1500 TRX is a legit 6x6. The Warlord is the name of the masterpiece, and clients may order it with 40-inch tires for an extra $2,200. A thermal night vision system and LED underfloor lighting can be added for $5,200 and $1,000, respectively.

In a statement, Apocalypse Manufacturing owner Joseph Ghattas remarked, "I am particularly happy of how our highly-skilled staff handled our most exciting plan yet. This build is as good as it gets, and it fits right in with the rest of our Apocalypse truck lineup.”

The engine in 2021 RAM 1500 TRX hasn't been changed, so it's still a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 with 702 hp. For those who are unaware, Apocalypse has been producing 6x6 vehicles for a couple of years, including Jeep Gladiator-based variants. TRX-based Warlord has a starting price of $250,000.
