This is the ultimate in a bug out vehicle.
Do you need the ultimate in a hardened survival escape vehicle? Operating under the assumption that demand fulfills the need, US Specialty Vehicles (USSV) out of Rancho Cucamonga, California is manufacturing (or more specifically retrofitting) vehicles into a line of rugged road trucks for the ultimate survivalist. And that includes rebuffing urban disorder and other disasters.
One of their primary vehicle models is the Rhino GX. At first glance this truck has appearances of a combination of a militarized Hummer and a Cadillac Escalade. Its matte finish exterior metal and characteristics speaks to a hardened ride ready for rough treatment and tough situations.
The Rhino GX is a basic four-door truck version with heavy duty fender extensions, step up ramps, multiple grab handles, light kits, heavy bumper, and tow hook connections. The interior is decked out to suit the buyer with deluxe everything including leather and wood veneer trims. Seating can accommodate 5-7 passengers. The unit includes a premium entertainment system with an Alpine 24-Bit DAC and optical digital output sound system. There is a SmartNav 5 navigation system displayed in the rear view mirror.
The Rhino GX utilizes a Smart Key system that allows the vehicle to be accessed via a push button on the door handle. This system uses an engine start and stop button on the dash. This new technology increases vehicle and user safety.
Engine options include a 6.7 Liter, V8, diesel, or a 6.8 Liter, V10, gasoline engine. The transmission is fully automatic and the drive wheels are 4×4. Custom wheels include 38 inch Toyo Open Country M/T tires mounted on 20-inch one piece forged aluminum wheels with a distinctive black/silver finish.
Needs headlight protection, but hey, I can do that myself.
Me like.
Some folks say a motorcycle is the best way to go........
Nothing stays under the radar and says “nothing to see here” better than a $100k armored vehicle rolling through da hood......
LOL!
OMG I would drive this like I stole it.
What’s the fuel capacity and mileage?
Trying to fill your gas tank up AFTER the shooting starts will be one daunting adventure!
Forty gallon fuel tank, but can’t find any mileage data.
I think I will just decide to panic early and get out of town so I don’t need all this.
So, how many miles outside of L.A. will it get when ALL the traffic stops?
UTV buggy or scooter would make better survival vehicles.
Ferfal says a mob will pull you off a motorcycle.
Prices start at $490,000.00
Just what you need in a post apocalyptic world.....and lots of Barry Manilow CDs to go with it.
Brings back memories of the Northeast power outage back in 2003. I live in S.E. Michigan, north of Detroit in a high populated area. With no traffic lights, it took me over 3 1/2 hours to drive the 17 miles to my home from work.
Under conditions like that, the only acceptable transportation would be a motorcycle trail bike or a mountain bike......
Prett, but useless without a Ma Duece. And what’s with the luxury interior? Can the engine be retrofitted to bypass the computers? Does it have gun racks inside? A modified cow catcher up front with engine and light protection is a must, as is self-sealing fuel tanks.
Inquiring minds need answers.
No turret for the .50? Pppfft.
