Top Gear tests the Marauder. - General

[QUOTE=werner;30920325]african company probably organized most of it[/QUOTE] well jee you think they're just going to crush 2 cars and tow a tow truck without anything happening to them?

the fuck they gonna do? just live in the marauder bro.

Living in that thing would actually be pretty fuckin badass, not gonna lie

The ultimate zombie apocalypse truck. PERIOD.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;31217278]The ultimate zombie apocalypse truck. PERIOD.[/QUOTE] I think that honor goes to a Toyota Hilux. Especially when it's set up as a technical.

[QUOTE=Psygo;30739458]that was that one that was never used in the military... uhh.. forgot what it was called, but it wasn't as big as the marauder.

It has a 6.8L V10 and costs $295,000. Here are some more pics, a bit more luxury than the Marauder: [img]http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7387/knightxvarmoredvehicle3.jpg[/img] [img]http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/5442/conquestknightxv3w.jpg[/img] Can look it up here: [url]http://conquestvehicles.com/knight-xv.html[/url]

That's all fine an dandy, but what happens if a tire blows up, hmmm? All that luxury wil be pretty much worthless... [editline]20th July 2011[/editline] The Marauder, on the other hand... [I]*fap fap fap fap*[/I]

All that armor and ride height will be pretty much useless. [editline]20th July 2011[/editline] The Toyota Hilux, on the other hand...

[editline]20th July 2011[/editline] The Toyota Hilux, on the other hand...[/QUOTE] Yeah well, the Marauder has a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marauder_(vehicle)]5,100 kg (11,220 lb)[/url] payload capacity... so I'm sure it can carry half that weight in fuel alone. The rest would be ammo for a couple M60s I'd mount on top of it :v: The Hilux (as much as I like that truck), on the other hand...

It's not about the amount of fuel you can carry, it's about the amount of fuel you use.

Well I sure as hell don't find myself haulin' ass on that thing, that's for damn sure... so I'm sure running on low RPMs should suffice IMO

Not to mention there is no way you could sustain the machinery in a Marauder unless you had a fully equipped diesel mechanic's shop. You can sustain a Hilux on basic tools.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;31252042]Hmmmm... good point. But the Marauder sounds so good on paper...! :([/QUOTE] When it works, it's fantastic. But if you don't have the resources or facilities to keep it working...
