Sorry - I didn't think you could make a Superduty that ugly... And if you are going to charge $489k it should at least come with the Powerstroke considering the armored version weighs 12000 lbs.

I'd still drive it - mainly to **** off Al Gore.......

Looks like someone went to home depot and purchased all the parts for it. Not a curve on it. Even the door panels inside look like crap. And at 1/2 a million?

No thanks.

CARS

Did ya ever see the movie "Cars" and the part when the Hummer cries about getting dirty and says "But i have never been off the road" Love that part. there should be a I hate Hummers forum. Most people that have em dont even use em to the fullest. Its just a status thing. now give me a GI version and i would drive it. other then that i dont even look at them.

Me neither....

I parked next to someone who had a civilian version at wal-mart just to make a size comparison. I was sitting there waiting to meet someone and out of nowhere he shows up and catches me checkin out his truck. He fires his truck up, complements me on my freshly waxed, lifted truck and goes on his way.

Btw, those things sound awesome with a 4 inch exhaust!

I agree. The G.I. would be a kick to drive in the woods. I bet it goes anywhere, but then they made the Hummer 2, and 3 or whatever and they got less functional and more showy. (All show and no go). I would almost be embarassed to drive one.

Thats probably at least twice as much as it cost to build. You can build a really nice bulletproof Ex for $200k

I must say their design team failed.

It looks as if it was designed by tuffshed and built with off the shelf construction hardware.

If you wanted to plow through a wall with it, you would loose the headlights for sure.
I like mine:

That Knight needs a 50 caliber roof mount and grenade launchers on the fenders. A 105 recoiless would also be nice.
