What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there’s a decal that reads “Apocalypse 6x6.”

      Being from a hurricane and tropical storm prone area myself it isn’t uncommon for otherwise normal people to own rigs like this

        That’s bullshit. I also live in south FL, and this is not only uncommon, it’s very much not a solution to flooding. The most common flooding you’ll encounter during rainstorms is a few inches deep in the worst case, and even a lambo can drive through that no problem. If flooding is at the point where you’d need such a high suspension, you’re not going to drive through it anyways because you can’t see what hazards there are under water, and you’re not going to risk damaging your very expensive toy.

        This is just someone with an undiagnosed mental and/or urological disorder who has too much disposable income.

      What an utterly useless thing. You add axles to bear more weight. Unless you’re hauling a big tungsten cube, the truck isn’t big enough to carry a load that would need three axles.

      It’s even dumber than those Jeep Gladiators, the #1 pavement princess in my area, which sacrifice departure angle for a ridiculously small amount of cargo space and less load capacity than an entry level pickup truck.

      Just stupid.
