Click above for a high-res gallery of the Geiger Ford F650.
When the fit hits the shan, we've got two phone calls to make: our Cayman Islands-based banker and Geiger cars. For 99,000 euro we can protect our loved ones while punching through some of the most wicked terrain this side of Dakar in the robust luxury of the German tuner's interpretation of the Ford F-650. Weighing in at 5.2-tons and stretching over 21-feet long, the Geigerfied uber-truck finds motivation from a tweaked 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel putting out 320 hp and 738 lb.-ft. of torque. Grunt is shoveled to a six-speed Allison 3000 automatic gearbox and on down to a biggie-sized driveshaft that powers the four, 22-inch rear wheels. Both the suspension and brakes are air-powered, and if we're willing to shell out a bit more cash, we can get chrome fuel tanks, leather, navigation and, surprisingly, gull-wing doors. We think this would compliment our imaginary post-apocalyptic stable that also includes our all-time favorite RV, the Wothahellizat.

Hmm, wonder what those MPG numbers are lol
rouse42 @ May 2nd 2008 3:18PM
dont you mean GPM?
Yar @ May 2nd 2008 3:56PM
No, you mean GPH, or Gallons per Hour. Thats how you measure Yachts (whether they be land or water).

Rainier Wolfcastle - Highway: 1, City: 0.
Stuka @ May 2nd 2008 9:35PM
With that engine, probably 15-16 hwy, 11-12 city. Diesels don't use up fuel like gasoline engines do. Thats the same engine that is offered in current dodge rams.
Brent @ May 2nd 2008 3:15PM
Cummins for the win!
Chris @ May 2nd 2008 3:15PM
Watch out, Ironhide!

Where do you find fuel in a post-apocalyptic world?
havoc @ May 2nd 2008 3:31PM
you wanna get out of here, you gotta talk to me.
I'll drive that tankuh
Dave in MI @ May 2nd 2008 3:17PM
Ask max and aunty entity, there's no fuel in the post apocalyptic world. Would be better off with a double-wide.

My favorite post-apoctalyptic vehicle is still the killdozer. I'd just modify it a little so that you could actually, ya know, get out of the thing once you start it up. More info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killdozer_%28bulldozer%29
There's some youtube videos out there about it too, but I'm too lazy to look them up.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents for the week.

The Wothahellizat is no more...

It is being torn down into a smaller more efficient version.
Chris @ May 2nd 2008 3:49PM
That truck is insane!!! I'd goto church in that!
John @ May 2nd 2008 3:50PM
I love this vehicle. However, you would need to own a small middle eastern country with your own oil supply to keep the tank filled!
havoc @ May 2nd 2008 3:56PM
correction, invade some "small middle eastern country" with an oil supply, then tow it back home.
John @ May 2nd 2008 10:30PM
Ahhhhhh. Whats a day on Autoblog without someone bashing the US?
Tim @ May 3rd 2008 2:09PM
i don't think that was US bashing, more like "this truck is big enough to tow an entire country." YOU brought up small middle eastern country as the oil supply rather than texas, alaska, russia, venezuela, etc. And how else would you tow home a country then by invading it first. some people just read what they want to read
