However, if you want an off-road pick-up and you are the type of wealthy person who needs to show everyone else what the needy are like, something like that is not enough. The American company Rezvani has developed the Hercules 6×6 just for you.

In essence, it is a Jeep Gladiator, “only” it is extended by one axle and a good piece of body. It is now slightly over 2.4 meters long, so the owners are not deprived of the practical side of the pick-up, quite the opposite.
–
The added axle can be, like both originals, also driven – hence the designation 6×6. The driver can choose whether the engine drives one rear axle or both, or whether all six wheels are driven.
–
The loading area is over 2.4 meters long.

The engine in the basic configuration is a 3.6-liter six-cylinder Pentastar with 289 hp and 353 Nm, which you can also get in the Plebeian Gladiator. For all those who would not have enough, Rezvani offers a 6.4-liter eight-cylinder Hemi with 507 horsepower.
–
If that’s not enough and instead of overcoming rocks and sand dunes, you want to move them all at once with your Hercules with only a slight gas tickle, a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from the Dodge Challenger Demon is available.
–
Of course, there was no stone left in it. The volume has increased to seven liters due to the increase in drilling and stroke, new and more durable are the pistons and camshaft and the crankshaft is forged. And of course there is a bigger compressor, so according to the manufacturer, the power is 1318 horsepower and the torque 1341 Nm

The cab has not changed much compared to the Jeep Gladiator.

With such force, one would wonder if Hercules could not be used to tow semi-trailers; after all, a turntable can be ordered for a number of American pick-ups and used as tractors. However, we have no news on whether it is possible to use the 6×4 drive on a solid surface, or whether the turntable is in the range of accessories.

On the other hand, the owners of Hercula are unlikely to do anything like that. The Dana 60 axles with air differential locks, Fox racing suspension or 37 ”off-road tires will be more suitable for them.

Off-road tires and top suspension are a matter of course.

Some of them also use a special “military” edition, which is bulletproof, including glass, its chassis is protected against explosions, the fuel tank heals itself after the breakthrough and the car also has protection against electromagnetic shocks.
–
Furthermore, its handles can give electric shocks, special bumpers clear the way through the barrier, the car manages to create a smoke screen around it or blind the attackers with light bursts. And he will offer the crew gas masks or a first aid kit extended with the need to help in case of hypothermia.

You can choose from several versions of the on-board infotainment and audio system.

The standard Hercules 6×6 comes to 225 thousand dollars (5.06 million crowns), the “military” version is 325 thousand (7.3 million crowns), all with a standard six-cylinder. The surcharge for the five-hundred-horsepower Hemi is $ 40,000 (CZK 899,000), ie without $ 5 as much, for which in the US you get the entire Dodge Challenger R / T Scat Pack with the same, albeit 20 horsepower engine.
–
And do you want those thirteen hundred horses? There is a surcharge of $ 249,000 (5.6 million crowns) for the seven-liter V8, so the whole of Hercules costs an unbelievable $ 474,000 (10.65 million crowns) – more than a number of top supersports.
–
There can be up to 1318 horses under the hood.

And we are only in front of the optional equipment, at whose prices in the configurator they fly thousands of dollars like nothing. For example, a package for towing trailers with an ordinary ball at the back costs $ 8,500, or 191,000 crowns. Getting high over half a million dollars (11.2 million crowns) is not a problem at all, even if you forgive things like a safe for weapons in the center armrest.
–
On the other hand, Hercules could be described as a supersport to the field. Still, we can’t get rid of the idea of pulling trailers with it.
