- Hey, what's up guys?
Josh from TrailBuilt, and once in a while,
we get a little off track and find ourselves
going down this rabbit hole of researching
these super awesome and just the wildest off-road vehicles
out there to keep us motivated
as to what we wanna see in our driveway someday.
So in today's video, we take a look at some of these,
well, five of these to be exact.
So make sure and smash that subscribe button,
so that way you guys can hold on to the ride with us.
Also, remember if you guys are looking
for that perfect set of wheels and tires
or a suspension lift to fit your new wheels and tires
and make sure and head on over to our website.
It's trailbuiltoffroad.com.
Rounding out at right around $180,000
and just shy of five tons
is our first off-road rig on the list.
Dubbed Kymera, a name that comes from
the Greek mythology creature, Chimera.
Part goat, part lion, and part snake,
I'd say from the looks of it
that it definitely lives up to its name.
This thing is a beast
that has proven to turn heads everywhere it goes.
Built by none other than Greg Higgs,
owner of Fab Fours in South Carolina,
which, if you are familiar with his work
and some of his builds, then you already know
he has a creative genius side to him.
This ridiculous 5.9 liter
twin turboed, 650 horsepower,
six BT Cummins diesel off-roader
may not be your idea of the ultimate perfect build,
but it sure is one that takes the off-road,
trail busting, rock crawler look to a whole 'nother level.
What was originally a 2015 Chevy Colorado
is now running AxleTech 4,000 military axles,
42-inch TSLs,
Fox bypass shocks and remote ressies fill every corner
to dampen the 9,000 pound truck suspension
along with full hydraulic steering, both front and rear.
This thing was built to tackle just about anything
you put in front of it, all while doing it in style.
So for having extreme taste and power,
performance and looks,
we had to have this exotic beast in our list of top five
most expensive and insane rigs list.
Coming in next on our top five list
is the Godzilla of off-road rigs.
It's ugly, monstrous, destroys everything in its path,
is bulletproof and even resistant to up to six tons
of explosives as seen on Top Gear.
Dubbed the Marauder, which the meaning of the word Marauder
is someone who roams around looking for people to kill,
things to steal or destroy.
A pretty aggressive definition,
but one that isn't far from the truth
as far as the destruction part goes
as this thing will destroy just about anything
that gets in its way.
Built by the Paramount Group for military contracts,
the Marauder is also available for a pretty penny
to the average civilian.
Something a celebrity or professional sports player may own.
Maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger will want to upgrade
from the H1 to this beast.
Either way it's probably pretty impractical to own
as a daily driver, but should the time ever arise
where there's a total economic collapse
and mobile survival is of the essence,
then owning one may not seem so obnoxious after all.
I know personally, if I had an endless pipeline
of residual income, this monstrosity would have a home
for itself in my garage.

So what is number three on our list?
Well, since we're on the subject of military
and purpose-built rigs, our next extravagant four by four
isn't even a four by four.
Nope. It's actually a six by six.
That's right, this luxurious six wheeled
supersized bulletproof truck
that looks like a wide body Jeep gladiator from Rezvani
is your ultimate personal protection bodyguard
on six wheels, but for $325,000, is it worth it?
For most of us, hell no, it ain't.
But again, this video was not made
out of practicality reasons.
So again, if money isn't a factor,
I'd have one or two for myself,
one for the wife and a few for the kids
and a couple of spares just in case.
With an available 1300 horsepower,
The Resvani Hercules is rated
as the most powerful armored vehicle on the planet.
Plus with defense mechanisms like bulletproof glass
capable of stopping high caliber rifle bullets,
door handles that can be electrified,
plus deadbolts on the doors,
electric magnetic pulse, or EMP protection,
and straight out of a James Bond movie
is the option for a dense smoke screen.
This bad-ass machine can make it through just about any type
of post-apocalyptic situation,
making it one of my favorites in today's video,
but not my favorite.
That one I'm saving for last.
And number four is not too much unlike our number three,
without all the armor.
This six by six is probably a lot more recognizable
than the Rezvani as the Mercedes Benz AMG G63
has been out for some time now,
but nonetheless still a very desirable rig
for those with endless pockets.
The G63 AMG six by six combines the best of three worlds,
Mercedes-Benz, more than 30 years of off-road experience,
and the G class series production models
ensure effortless poise and balance
along with proven power and performance for this vehicle
which is without parallel in the off-road scene.
Well, except for maybe the Rezvani six by six,
and even then, the vehicles absolute robustness,
functionality, and outstanding off-road capabilities
derived from the G class models,
and the renowned luxury and high performance division,
Mercedes AMG is responsible for the engine technology
and the luxurious and comfortable interior.
Originally developed for the Australian military
and coming in at just over a half a million dollars,
this is one off-road rig that will give you
smiles for miles and get you to just about
anywhere you want to go.
And it's not even the most expensive vehicle on our list.
So make sure and stay tuned for number five
as we cover one of the most expensive
off-road vehicles on the planet.
The one I am the most excited about
is also the one that you could tow
any of the previous rigs to your off-roading destination
and allow you to stay there for months on end
is this $1.7 million
self-sustaining four season house on wheels.
Yes. If you already guessed it,
we are talking about the EarthRoamer XV-HD.
The EarthRoamer HD is designed for those
who love technology, quality and design
and the craftsmanship of their previous LTI model
but desire the more space and amenities.
In addition to being more spacious,
the HD also provides greater fuel, water, solar,
and battery capacities, by using the latest technologies,
they have created the most efficient state-of-the-art
and self-sufficient expedition vehicle ever,
allowing you to travel off the beaten path
for months at a time before having to restock on supplies.
The chassis starts with the strong
and powerful F-750 platform.
Because the chassies isn't available
from the factory with four wheel drive,
the first thing that is done upon arriving
to EarthRoamer's headquarters
at the foot of the Rocky Mountains
in Colorado is a solid axle conversion.
By adding a solid drive axle to the front
and a user selectable transfer case,
the F-750 transforms
into a very capable expedition platform.
A rear air ride suspension
along with hydraulic leveling system
deliver excellent handling and easy in-camp leveling.
From the electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC,
to the marble countertops and high definition TVs,
you are guaranteed to live in luxury
while enjoying the ruggedness of the outdoors.
I mean, if you're into that kind of thing,
but just imagine if you'd set aside reality for just a bit
and imagine roaming the edges of the earth
and everything in between,
all from the comforts of what would be known
as your four-wheel drive home.
All right, guys.
Well, that is all that we have for you today,
and make sure and let us know in the comments
what you think would be the most awesome,
most extreme and expensive or ridiculous
off-road capable rig that you would love to have,
cost aside, of course.
Other than that, guys,
we are in the middle of our Anthem Wheels giveaway
where we are trying to raise as much as possible
in charitable proceeds for the American Society
for the Prevention of Animal Cruelty,
with the best way to help us out is by heading on over
to trailbuiltoffroad.com/giveaway
and grabbing one of these awesome giveaway t-shirts
as a percentage of the proceeds will be going to the ASPCA.
Hopefully we can send them a pretty good amount
to keep our fur-friends protected.
