It’s not a 6x6, already there is a false selling point. ALL three axles have to be drive axles to be considered as 6x6. That is a 4x6 because the rear axle is just a ride along “tag axle” like a trailer axle.

“Tag axles” like that cause more harm than good in real use. They hang the middle drive axle in the air so that it cannot drive the vehicle. Built several and they were failures off road, couldn’t even go up a steep drive way because the middle axle would hang in the air. BOTH back and the front axles need to be drive axles to be any good for off roading.

A standard 4x4 will leave this thing behind sitting in the ditch. If you take this off road you will want to take along a buddy with a 4x4 to keep pulling you out. lol
