The Apocalypse Warlord 6x6 Is Screaming America.

When you think about America, You think about everything that is bigger and better. The shopping center is enormous, and portions in restaurants, especially fast food, are so big that they make an Epic Mealtime episode feel like an entrée. If you don't know Epic Mealtime is, this is a show where they combine several already heavy calory meals altogether, and they put as many slices of bacon on top as they can. This is also the case in the automobile industry, where every vehicle seems bigger than the previous. Of course, manufacturers are limited to some restrictions when it comes to vehicle sizes and craziness, and this is where a company like Apocalypse comes in handy.
The company based in Florida is basically specialized in 6x6 conversion as if four wheels weren't enough. Well, of course, Apocalypse isn't the only company doing this since Hennessey already is offering a lot of 6x6, but Apocalypse's take on the RAM TRX 6x6 is quite impressive and interestingly affordable.
You see, Hennessey made only three 6x6 RAM TRX, and they sold for about 500 000 $ US, whereas Apocalypse asking price starts around 250 000 $ US for a 6x6 Warlord. One of the reasons for it to be so "cheap" is really the fact there aren't many upgrades under the hood, and to be honest, this is perfect just like this since the Ram TRX comes with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that produces 702 horsepower from the factory. Of course, 1000 or more horsepower sounds impressive on paper, but in reality, 702 is more than sufficient. However, Apocalypse gave its Warlord 6x6 a little more spice by adding 95 horsepower to the sauce, which is more than enough, in my opinion.
Apocalypse is offering a few upgrades if you want to make your 6x6 Warlord better, such as a 40-inch tire or thermal night vision. Also, it has a very good ground clearance of afoot thanks to its revised suspension. Its towing capacity is over 12 000 pounds.
Fast, Practical, and Ridiculous
Regardless of its size, the RMA TRX is able to do a standing quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds and takes only 4.5 seconds to reach 100 kilometers an hour which is quite fast for a vehicle that big. Even if we don't have numbers yet, we are pretty sure the 6x6 Warlord is as fast as a regular TRX, thanks to its 95-horsepower gain.
We don't know how many units of this truck will be built, but if you want one, I suggest you do it as fast as possible since we might never see each rock this crazy at this price ever again.
