At a cost of about $750k to have one imported to the states that would be cheap compared to the 2mpg it would get towing my 50ft trailer with two cars, pit bikes and tools inside. Probably not a practical tow vehicle. I am actually getting a quote on a 53 ft featherlite double decker trailer to pull behind one of my semis, I have outgrown the 50ft'er in the photo.

Both. I own a trucking company and I have a CDL, I am licenced to drive just about anything except hazmat. I usuallly have one of my employees drive my rig to track events, but once in a while I grab a buddy and we head cross country and do the driving ourselves.

There is a camel/khaki colored one right now that is being tested in the Northeast parts of the USA. I have been following this, not the particular one I just mentioned, vehicle since I saw the first announcement from AMG. They were only supposed to make a handful, but I think that number has climbed to close to 50 units.
I'd be really curious to see what Weistec can do with this. Not sure if it's theirs or if they are even going to touch it, but it would be a wild idea to think of. It's power plant is the 5.5L TT V8.
As an avid off-roader, I cannot even imagine the possibilities!!? It's a really heavy vehicle and has a wide-track, BUT..................

What trucking company do you own buddy?
Do you handle containerized cargo?
PM your company details. I own a logistics company here in Canada and We do regular containerized business over the US East Coast and the Mid West.

10 C six trizzle
They are not u.s. road legal. Im sure some rich dubia prince shipped it over to get stuff installed professionally. It's pretty badass to know one actually got to the u.s. It's a shame the u.s. doesnt get this or the G65. I also dont understand why the 6x6 isnt a 65 either way it's still quite amazing.
