Those Yanks love their gear dont they and only starting at $438.000 USD eeekk .. You would almost need an Oversize  load escort here in Oz to drive them on the road.
Still reckon the English version  would be just as good, well err maybe not   ;D ;D

Two things,

1. Is that a Life Boat on the roof?

2. How close is it to GVM.?
Look at the compression of the rear suspension.

That spare would be a pain in  the arrrse to get out, there's no room for a second spare and throw some firepower on it and it'll be perfect for a doomsday prepper   ;D ;D ;D

If that costs $438,000 in the US, something similar here would be closer to Million knowing the way we get reamed for pretty much eveything.  ;D

At least the F ruck didn't have a huge overhang up the back. The Landy looks like the front wheels are about to lift of the ground sitting still :'( >:D

I'd piss myself laughing at that thing if  I saw it coming down the road... LMAO!
I agree with the power steering comment...

You'd need to fill the "wood" basket over the cab to keep the front end down.. Imagine it offroad! LMAO! Corrugations... rough roads.. hahahahahahhhahahahahahhahahahahahahaa

How would you go with one of these in the high country? Or, worse still, cresting a sand dune?

You might be surprised Keith. I've seen Iveco 4x4s up there including on the Dingo hill track.

I think a lot of the tracks are made to fit Canter, Isuzu and now Iveco trucks because of fire trucks using these as a base.

Personally I would love an Iveco but that as big as I'd want in Oz
