Those looking for the ultimate off-roading vehicle regardless of its practicability might consider something like this monster seen here at the Abenteuer & Allrad off-road show in Bad Kissingen, Bararia, Germany.Said to guzzle over 60 litres of diesel costing Euro 1.20 for every 100km down the road (downhill and with a strong wind behind) it is not for those without deep pocketsor perhaps this oneThe camping ground currently has over 1500 vehicles packed into every available space and is the perfect place to scout out the perfect vehicle to suit your tastes. The actual show is actually now eclipsed by the atmosphere in the campground which is probably not what the organisers intended.Just a very tiny part of the whole camp

More pictures please.I like the black one. I could never afford it, or successfully drive it, but it's pretty cool LOL.

Hard to read the specifications but the one of interest might be the price - 600,000 Euro plus 20% taxThis one is three levels high when parked and has a hydraulic lift to garage the scout car under the rear. 4 metres high (when folded down), 2.5 metres wide and 10 metres long and weighs 24 tonne.Owned by the same man for 8 years, has traveled all over Africa and the Americas.Most of these sort of vehicles have the living quarters mounted on a sub frame which is then connected to the chassis using one of several types of mountings which allow the chassis to twist while the living quarters stay straight.Not a trace of bling inside or outside and this perhaps distinguishes these sort of vehicles from the typical US Class A. The bedroom is on the top level, dining/lounge on the middle level and kitchen bathroom on the entry level.Price - if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Delivery from date of order - about two years.Few more pictures at https://picasaweb.google.com/114611728110254134379/TURKEY2015 right at the end, but no captions yet

One special feature of expedition trucks with huge tyres is when they get bogged, they dig themselves a hell of a lot deeper into the dirt so they are just that much harder to unbog. With a 6 X 6, that bogging process just happens 50% faster.Two years ago there was a lot of rain and the campground turned into a quagmire. There is a picture of a 6 X 6 sitting forlornly in the middle of the campground down to the chassis.Another notable feature of many - shared by my F350 which is a worry - is they have massive tow-hooks on the front and nothing similar on the back. Hard not to draw the conclusion that they get bogged easily but aren't much use getting others unbogged.

Wow ... and to think that the 1%'ers in the U.S. are beginning to have to be more careful with the image that they're projecting among the have-nots!!!Those type expedition vehicles are way over some kind of top.I'd much prefer something more modest, like this:
