HOME FROM HOME ‘getting there is half the fun’. And the rest…

dopamine hit when you do the hard thing, not afterwards. Big difference. Obviously you get my point. So does Hennessey, the American company that does ridiculous things to a ridiculous range of vehicles. We like ridiculous. Like this Mammoth 1000 TRX Overland Edition pick-up. As Hennessey says: ‘Overlanding is vehicle-based, on-road and off-road adventure travel with a focus on self-reliance, resilience and enjoyment of the journey – getting there is half the fun.’ No dope.

Of course, if that was really the case you’d have to wonder why they make such a focus of the fact that o can get there in no time at he base vehicle of Dodge Ram TRX gets just over 1000bhp and a mountain-minimising 969lb ft of torque. Many journeys would be little more than a blur. However, once you’re there, in your idyllic spot by the lake among the trees with soaring mountains behind, and everyone has managed to stop their heads spinning from the warp-speed acceleration and then stopping, that’s when the

Mammoth shows off its enhanced ability to help you enjoy the other half of the fun. At that point, as your eyeballs slow their rotation speeds, you can forget about the 6.2-litre supercharged V8 of ‘the world’s most powerful pick-up’ and slowly focus on the cornucopia of goodies in the back. It’s quite a big cornucopia because there’s quite a bit of space in the back. This rig measures 5.81m and is over 2m wide, and stands nearly that tall too. Basically you’ve got the living space of a London bedsit.
