Do you and one friend need to go anywhere — right now? You'll need the Sherp ATV. It's a two-passenger, diesel-powered wilderness-squasher with patented self-inflating tires.
With those massive chunks of rubber at each corner, and nearly encompassing the entire side of the truck, the Sherp can easily roll over obstacles as big as 27.5 inches tall.
Although it has a small 1.5-liter diesel engine that produces a minuscule 44 horsepower, the Sherp weighs about as much as a Toyota Corolla, so it's just enough to get it up to its 28 mph top speed on land. On water it'll do 3.7 mph. ...
$65,000 will get you the pickup Sherp with a canvas top. For $70,000, however, you can get the fully enclosed hardtop.

Interesting steering. It steers like a tank by spinning wheels on one side at a different speed than the other.

Makes sense. It’s as much a boat as it is a car.

The sales video look really cool. Would hate to see what a set of replacement tires runs.

....a small 1.5-liter diesel engine that produces a minuscule 44 horsepower....Geee, I owned a Chevy Metro, along time ago and it had a smaller 3 cylinder gas engine which with I think was like .9 liters, and it got around ?90 horsepower, you would think they could of put a little bit more powerful engine in it. I guess you don't need much horsepower to go slow.

So you could mod a used bobcat for about 1/4 the cost...
