6x6 Cars: Off-Road Adventures Like Never Before

4-wheel drive SUVs have become a common sight on Ghana’s roads. But, there is one type of vehicle that can dwarf even the biggest 4x4s. We are talking about 6×6 trucks, and after reading this article, you’ll get to know all about them.

What is a 6x6?

Regular road cars come equipped with two axles, one in the front and one at the rear. A 6×6 takes this concept and turns it up to 11 by adding an extra axle at the vehicle’s rear. These monstrous vehicles are also equipped with all-wheel-drive, which means that the grunt from the engine is delivered to all six wheels, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Thanks to the six wheels, these vehicles have more grip when compared with regular 4×4 trucks. This feature will surely come in handy if the car gets stuck in mud or sand.

An increased ride height, greater visibility, and a bigger cargo area are some of the other benefits of a 6×6 SUV.
