you definitely don't need a truck like this to get around the trails in Iceland. i rented a fully loaded mitsubishi outland with half tread tires and went through the highlands. some close calls in some deep water crossings but survived. knowledge and skill are just as important as having the right vehicle.
This ain't a car to have a nice run through trails. There's an almost identical 6x6 hilux in the town i live in used by a company that runs and maintains the powergrid. These cars can get everywhere they need to get, Their old Landcruiser's on 44's had problems getting to some of the spots we have power lines, But the 6x6 hilux on 38's can float on snow even when fully loaded and with 4 grownups with all their gear.
+pol1250 Yes it has advantages. More tire area on ground and therefore lower surface pressure. This avoids the vehicle sinking into the ground on soft surfaces, like snow.
Have only been to Island for one week but gosh i like that land...(only land i now of that jailed some banksters) trying to figure out how to get there again with my crusa .. live in northern sweden and the ferry goes from Denmark must see if i can take it as deck cargo from some port in Norway..
That's a badass truck, and I'm sure you could do some pretty awesome stuff in it... But this video didnt show it doing anything you couldn't do in even a decent sedan (except for MAYBE the water being a little deep). I wanna so it do something other than just driving down a few dirt paths.
Agree..we will be really putting it to the test shortly, and be driving across the mountains in Iceland during the winter, then to one of the remotest place in Iceland Askja. Will be posting something from that trip.
All artic videos show these trucks doing NOTHING special. Let's see the real potential, if not it is just looks without real performance. 6X6 should in theory do things 4x4 can't.
Tires like these have a contact patch rivaling track kits when aired all the way down to 1 or 2 psi. Tires also mean that the truck is road legal and only needs airing back up in a few minutes with an onboard compressor when off the snow. Tires also mean a higher top speed, increased ride comfort and are much cheaper and easier to replace/repair if they fail 500 kilometers from civilization.
Beautiful country and truck. I'd love to go to Iceland and drive this around for a week or so and explore.
Engine Noise is always better than music..

@3:11 What road is that?
Well damn, I would hope it'd be able to drive through a puddle and not get stuck in 2 inches of mud
What kind of engine is in this car?
Modified stock or something else?
Nice ride, but you could do those trips in a 2WD Aygo or IQ as well.
Max Roald Eckardt you should see the more recent videos of the truck on my site for some more serious offroad in the snow!

+Mike Herbert Why a 6x6 ? Does it have any advantages to a 4x4 ? Turning circles must be huge....
+pol1250 Yes it has advantages. More tire area on ground and therefore lower surface pressure. This avoids the vehicle sinking into the ground on soft surfaces, like snow.
I have no use for this truck but i want one :-D
about how much is that? is that posible on a l200?

On my next trip to Iceland, ii'm going to rent that baby

Currently Stock..3 litre Diesel 171 BHP
Okay. I would have thought you need a lot more power to drive 6 44" tyres.
เยี่ยม!!!
смотрю второе видео с участием этого монстра и ничего особенного не увидел. обзор от давидыча верный! , это просто большая , эффектная - игрушка.

Ya those wide tires don't do so good get like 35 inch bloggers or better off-road tire but those tires suck.
Travis Travis You clearly know more about tires than the people who made this car....

Or 40 or bigger bogger
