With 750 hp, it will burn lots of gas.

Overall I dunno, not sure if I can get into the dual rear axles or not. Might be interesting to take down the highway but wonder how it will really drive, and IF it can wheel at all.

This is where having an opinion is handy .
1) The wheels are Fuggly
2)Id like to see an adult use the back door .
3)Unless there is a splitter to power both rear diffs it useless.
4) Its only intended use would be open area like the sand its sitting on.
5)Did I mention its Fuggly !
6) Now that I really look at it ,and after waiting since 05 for a truck , I would guess the same designers were involved instead of being fired !
7) Okay , so you figgured out Im not a fan of this or what they call a truck.
8) As I said , having an opinion is a good thing !

You could mount a blade on the front and use it to push obstacles out of the way (trees, rocks, people).

Frank, I had to look up 'fuggly' in the dictionary. BSJ is always an education.

One 'benefit' I see: it has 50% more wheels and axles to break, so it will empty your pockets that much more quickly. That, besides the cost of gasoline to power the absurd 700 hp engine.

Dude the cost of gasoline is totally excepted even if its computer generated horse power ! Only a gear head would understand. Fuggly came to me one day as a child , and it stuck . Its a way of saying exactly what you feel when you need to without being concerned with whos around. Im famous for having people second guess me . -> FjR68
