This 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 is one of approximately 100 examples built in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr between 2013 and 2015. The truck was imported to the US under a “show or display” exemption in 2014 and was subsequently federalized by G&K Automotive Conversion of Santa Ana, California. The twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 has been modified with Weistec Engineering turbochargers, downpipes, ECU, and exhaust, and power is sent to all six wheels via an AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and five electronic differential locks. The truck is finished in Designo Magno Night Black over a designo black-and-Porcelain quilted leather interior and features bi-xenon headlights, a sunroof, Parktronic, a backup camera, blind-spot monitoring, heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The current owner acquired the truck in 2016 and has since added approximately 3k of the 5,400 miles. This G63 AMG is now offered in Thousand Oaks, California on dealer consignment with NHTSA and EPA import documentation and “show or display” paperwork, the owner’s manual, spare parts, service records, and a clean Texas title.
Based on a three-axle variant of the Geländewagen produced for military use, the civilian G63 AMG 6×6 weighs over 4.5 tons and offers 18″ of ground clearance. This example is finished in Designo Magno Night Black (0056) and features tubular rear bumpers, carbon fiber fender flares, dual side-exit exhaust outlets on both sides, and a chrome roll bar. There is a ding on the roof.
The 6×6 features a built-in air compressor with in-cabin controls that can inflate or deflate tires based on terrain. Öhlins gas bypass shocks were standard equipment, along with stiffer springs and heavy-duty bump stops compared to the dual-axle G63.
All six 18″ Mercedes-Benz/Hutchinson beadlock wheels feature red accents with Mercedes-Benz center caps and are mounted with 37×12.5″ Pro Comp Extreme MT2 tires. A matching spare wheel is housed in the wood-paneled cargo bed and can be seen in the gallery. Braking is handled by cross-drilled Brembo discs at all six wheels.
The cabin offers seating for four trimmed in designo Exclusive black leather with red contrast stitching and Porcelain accents on the dashboard, center console, quilted and perforated seat inserts, and Alcantara headliner. Amenities include carbon fiber trim, power-adjustable heated and ventilated seats front and rear, dual-zone automatic climate control, COMAND navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system, a Harman Kardon LOGIC7 surround-sound stereo, and a power sunroof.
The multi-function steering wheel is wrapped in black perforated leather with Porcelain accents and frames a 280-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and a color LCD screen along with gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Controls for the air compressor system are mounted in the overhead console along with twin Wikai air pressure gauges and a VDO auxiliary fuel level gauge. Approximately 5,400 miles are indicated on the digital odometer.
The twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 was modified by Weistec Engineering of Santa Ana, California with their ECU and turbocharger upgrades, as well as 3″ stainless-steel down pipes and a Weistec exhaust.
The truck is equipped with three portal axles and splits power 30:40:30 under normal conditions via an AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission, two driveshafts, and a dual-range transfer case. Five electronic differential locks can deliver 100% lockup of all six wheels.
A June 2014 letter from the NHTSA states that the truck was imported into the US under a “show or display” exemption, which allows for limited on-road use of up to 2,500 miles per year. A June 2024 letter from the NHTSA is provided in the Bring a Trailer gallery.
A decal affixed to the firewall shows that the truck was modified by G&K Automotive Conversion of Santa Ana, California. Paperwork from the EPA that is viewable in the photo gallery indicates that the truck was imported to the US in July 2014 and modified by G&K in October 2014.
