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."

Are these just large-carat diamonds for boys?
I cannot tell from the listing but are they actually 'armoured' in any way other than the steel bumper bar (which is a common addition to any farm truck, and cheap) - like are the fender panels all just painted plastic like most modern vehicles?
They may cost $250k new, but as I pointed out in another comment they seem to hold fuck all resale value. Here's one selling for less than 1/5th its initial value ($48k), one year after purchase - seems brand new and lists no issues/damage..

Seller is exactly whom you'd expect.
Could be shit quality or some critical flaw, where you look at it and go wow so cool I've more money than brains, buy it, and then realize it's bad, drop the price, and hope some sucker will buy it.
I'm betting on it not being street legal and/or something has a very short life for some poorly engineered reason.
Bold to assume that this thing would still drive after the apocalypse, when you don't have the fuel, tools, spare parts and access to the manufacturers service manuals for authorized repair shops.
