Texas Tiny Homes loves four wheelin’ in the snow and exploring the great outdoors, but the Zetros’ 2733 Mercedes 6×6 takes that to a whole nutha’ level, providing luxury in any environment … even a zombie apocalypse!
The Zetros 2733 has three axles, effectively turning it into a six-wheel-drive tank. The engine alone is a torque monster of a 7.2-liter diesel inline six-cylinder. It pumps out 326 horsepower and a thumping 959 pound-feet of torque. Frankly, with that much torque, the Zetros should come with a warning sticker not to make full-throttle runs too often, as you might cause earthquakes on the other side of the globe.
You can either send that tectonic level of torque through a sturdy Allison-sourced six-speed automatic or a hydraulically shifted nine-speed. The nine-speed uses eight forward gears and a gear for crawling. All three differentials can – of course – be mechanically locked.
Now here is where the really cool part comes in. Two Mongolian businessmen hired Mercedes to build two copies of these brilliant trucks with a whole host of extra features.
These one-off versions include an RV like living space styled in a very luxurious fashion. This means two flat screen TVs, heated marble floors, Bose sound system, shower, and everything but the kitchen sink in order to survive whatever life throws your way. Oh, and it’ll be a life of pure extravagance, if you couldn’t tell.
Everything in the RV section is powered by a diesel generator or by battery. If those fail, the Zetros can use solar panels installed on the roof. If that isn’t enough, the owners can even bring an ATV inside of the cargo space as well.
Although the businessmen claim to be using it for “fox hunting” in the deserts and forests of Mongolia, it sounds to me like they are actually testing it out for the end of the world. I might just have to request one myself, just in case the Zombies really do come.
What would you fit your custom, end-of-the-world 6×6 with? Consider going over to our to see what extra toys you could stock up on.

It’s so tough the front just reads “MAN.”
When picking up a vehicle that looks like it belongs in an ominous government convoy in a disaster movie, you’d assume that you’d have to sacrifice comfort and convenience in the name of sheer badassery. Turns out, you can really have it all. Action Mobil’s Global XRS 7200 might look like it could drive through a brick wall and survive the apocalypse, but once you open the doors, you’ll feel right at home.
