Would love one of these - baulked at the thought of brimming the tank with UK fuel prices though... frown Hennessy supercharger kit would be on my shopping list if I could afford it!

The fuel tank takes 162 litres from empty which costs in the order of 30 quid here in Qatar (if you get optimax grade fuel) which gives me a range of 500km.
That is staggering fuel economy. By my reckoning that is 8.6mpg?!

Looks bloody awesome though.

It looks gigantic, but is it that much bigger than an F150 with the extended cab?

Me approve Mark. thumbup

LED light bar on the roof and 2 smaller ones in the front grills and you go dune bashing at night without having to slow down.

Good job you don't get crystal glass vouchers when you fill up otherwise you would fill the load bay every time with them.

Very good, these are on my 'should own' list whilst I'm enjoying similarly free petrol.

Did the Z06 go?

Well I'm not going to be one of those detestable people who never takes their 4x4 offroad. This thing was made to take a pounding and I'm going to give it exactly that!

I work on a 37sq km building site with plenty of trails and spoil heaps so it gets a workout when ever I get a bit stir crazy in the office and need to blow off some steam...


The only downside to something so big is car parks are a problem or rather BUSY car parks are a problem, and washing it is tough to watch as it doesnt really fit on the ramp properly and as you can see it is a bit of a risk if it slips off for some reason!
