What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

It exists because many people have more money than brains. As for the decal, what you have there is the 2024 Apocalypse Juggernaut 6x6 . My guess is that the owner is probably 5' 9" and 300 lbs gravy seal with 30 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition who thinks he's going to take over Florida when society collapses.
The rugged individualist of the gated community.
If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.
If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn't an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?
Yes, exactly. You need a stable society to run oil refineries and distribute the gasoline to every community. Portable solar panels may be a trickle of energy, but it's still something to juice up an EV that only requires sun. Some EV can also power an extension cord, so they're a mobile back up battery.
So much this!
If you've got an electric vehicle you can charge it with anything really.
Solar panels, hydro, wind, a generator, etc
The perfect apocalypse vehicle load out IMO is an electric car (perhaps even an electric van/box truck), electric dual sport motorcycle, and a bicycle.
Kind of, but not really. There are specific requirements in order to charge, not hard to meet on grid, but can be difficult in a homemade setup
Yeah high enough voltage/current is tough unless you have a decent off grid capable home solar setup.
Most home solar inverters turn off when the grid loses power so they don’t backfeed electricity and kill any linemen.
Chevy Volt. Runs full electric until it's out, then uses gas. the only real problem is the 40 mile electric range.
Also known as a "loot drop" for the who actually will take over when society collapses
The brand is actually called Apocalypse? Wow 🤦
Even better, it’s not even manual, the thing is a fucking automatic
Googling that truck name appears to show they sell for $250k-$260k. I can think of better things to spend that kind of money on.
They may sell for that new (to people with crayon-stained teeth), but they seem to hold approximately 18% of their resale value after one year. Here's one selling as-new for $48k.

It will probably not shock you to learn its for sale by a 40 year old serviceman, who is also listing an $8000 unmanned surveillance drone.
And then when a group of anarchists just hose his entire house and car with multiple rusty AKs he'll be looking up from Hell like "HOW DID I LOSE THAT THEY CHEATED". Altho, having that amount of guns and ammo doesn't really indicate gravy seal bullshit, if you go to the range often the ammo literally evaporates super fast. But that truck having no signs of being used off-road does clearly indicate that.
First one to go (and first to run out of fuel)
20k rounds and 30 guns...shit I've got triple that in 22lr alone. Round count and how many guns you own is a poor metric for gravy seal level bullshit.
This dude probably has a gun or two and a few boxes of ammo. Most who pretend to be billy badass don't actually have much in the way of firearms because they don't actually go to the range, just like this truck is never going to see anything more than Florida paved roads.
LOL those pictures make it look like a cheap kids toy.
I suspect that that is exactly what it is.
