Unless one is headed for the North Pole or across the Sahara, if you could afford this I'm guessing you probably already have a couple diesel duallies for the regular towing.
I bet the extra axle makes the whole rig more stable, though every one of those AMG horsepower would be needed to haul what I bet is a real
weight porker. Now put an extra hundred hp electric motor at each wheel, for those instantaneous torque needs where another 600 hp comes in handy, haul the huge battery pack behind you in a designer matched utility trailer, and you'll astound your friends with a Panamerica Turbo...

We can only dream. Mercedes's dinosaur SUV is modernized like a 6x6 Gator...

With a curb weight of 8300#, a 5.5-liter, twin-turbo V-8 rated at 536 hp under the hood and a 7 speed transmission (giving a 0 to 60 mph time of ~6 seconds) I would hope that it could tow a bunch (not that most people are liable to use a truck that costs close to $457,00 to tow with).

Wonder how that would do with a snow plow ? Might be a little long!

"Dear sir, due to the rising cost of fuel and my new Mercedes-Benz 6x6 I will have to raise the price to plow your drive by 6,000% thank you for your understanding "

Reminds me of the Dodge RAM T-rex 6x6.

Now Aaron, six seconds is SO slow....glacial, you wanna get sucked up by a Hyundai?
Need to wait for the Alpine version, with 750hp.

We have a guy here that plows snow with a Hummer. Seems crazy to me.

A Hummer is crazy.
Snow is crazy.
Plowing snow is crazy.
But I guess you gotta get those snow peas in while you can.:cold::yummy::greenthumb::chef:
But I'm a south Texas boy, so what do I know?
