I didn't vote, because a 4x4 is good enough for what I need, couldn't a dually be considered a 6x6, sort of? Anyhow, if I wanted a 6x6 for off road, I'd look at a John Deere Gator. Not very fast, but I have always been able to get where I needed in one.

Austrailian Special Forces uses a 6x6 in Afganistan, Ive always wondered how it compared to the traditional US Army Humvee.

Tractor Trailers have the 2 rear tires, and on very tight turns, the middle tire ceases to rotate and just drags. I would think that the same problem would occur on a 6x6. Turning radius will drastically decrease.

But it does looks bad *** wicked.

If you look over the site, you'll see they have multiple setups that can turn the rear tires, so you would have 6 wheel drive, AND 6 wheel steering. Pretty cool if you ask me. I'd take one, but not sure that 6 wheel drive is all that great in all offroad situations.

they have very tight turning radius's and suposed to be the most capable in off road situations look at the articulation, not much can compare to that little pricy i imagine

Seems like a waste of money to me. Sure it looks cool, but what is the purpose? I guess I'm just a little old-school, but I prefer function over form.
