Wait a few years then buy an ex Australian Army one at the auctions, or join the Army now if you want to drive one without having to pay for it

I was in awe when I watched the Top Gear show on it.

Hammond driving it around a water part was pretty funny as well.

Lucky my Powerball jackpot is $40m next week!

Two different vehicles.

Merc designed the 6x6 to suit the ADF's requirments.
V6 turbo diesel, non-portal axles.

 2 door version with a 30kg load limit when trailer fitted, limited to 80kph, $240,000. And it only seats 2 dudes.

That version up top, AMG V8 petrol, portal axles and so on, not limited to 80kph, retail at $500,000 plus.

That's pretty useless then if it'll only take a 30kg load with a trailer hooked up.
couldn't even get a jockey to drive it at the weight.

AMG 6x6 close to $1million (and it would have to be converted to RHD)

Multi Drive Technology Scorpion Landcruiser 6x6 = $180,000, 3tonne payload, 5.7tonne GVM...
Or the slightly cheaper Standard MDT 6x6
