Though it may look like the outgoing Super Duty, the six-wheeled pickup in the photo gallery is actually based on the previous generation of the full-size workhorse. Painted in Lime Green as a middle-finger salute to subtlety, the gentle giant before you is based on the F-350 SuperCrew with 4WD and the FX4 Off-Road Package.
Based on the dashboard’s design, we may be talking about an XLT rather than the King Ranch or Platinum trim levels. Despite the lowly specification of the donor vehicle, the original owner did opt for the Power Stroke 6.7-liter turbo diesel with tons of torque and straight pipes instead of the bone-stock exhaust system, just for kicks.

The high-visibility truck is further treated to the 2017 model year front fascia and taillights though the grille, bumpers, and side steps are far from original. The triple roll bar and sports bar look as outrageous as a six-wheeled pickup truck does next to a regular car, and if you look closely at the wheels, the T-Rex 6x6 flaunts 40-inch rubber boots from Toyo Tires as well as Ohlins suspension on all four corners.

Colorss Motorsport of Guanajuato, Mexico is the company responsible for this leviathan with an extended bed, and as much as we looked through the official website, we couldn’t find any details on the T-Rex 6x6 nor the asking price for the conversion package. It’s not clear if Colorss did it all by themselves, but closer to home, there are a handful of companies who will gladly add a pair of wheels to your truck.

Hennessey Performance Engineering is one of them, and their F-150 Raptor-based VelociRaptor 6x6 starts at $349,000 including the donor vehicle. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the Goliath 6x6 upgrade costs a little more at $375,000.

If you can do without the additional axle but you need heavy-duty capability with F-150 Raptor off-road credentials, MegaRexx Trucks from Arizona is much obliged to spruce up the F-Series Super Duty with 46-inch Michelin XZL tires, military-grade MRAP wheels, and Icon suspension for both ends.

Previously known as F250R, this company asks in the ballpark of $30,000 for the MegaRaptor conversion excluding the bog-standard truck.
