PRESS MUTE NOW!BAD MUSIC ALERT!Promo vid for the Bucher Duro ATV, a Swiss built 4x4 and 6x6 multipurpose vehicle. Thunderbirds Are Go!Bought by Mowag in 2003 the vehicle shown is now the Mowag Duro II 4x4For those of you that think this vehicle should have more armour or be more like a Humvee check out the products section at http://www.mowag.chand look at the Piranha and the Eagle.The reason this truck is not more heavily armoured or more like a Humvee is that it has to be good off road to get around the mountains of central Europe.Things with more armour and indeed Humvees are fine on the flat and for following tanks across mine fields but are bloomin' useless at being carried by helicopters, rock climbing, grinding through forests, driving up river beds and crossing swamps hence the Duro and other swamp monkeys like the Pinzgauer and Unimog, the latter 2 not shown here. Also not shown here are things with more armour and definitely no Humvees.The brief for this vehicle is that it's relatively small and light, adaptable and that it needs no special skills to drive, so that teenagers doing their National Service can jump in, drive it up a mountain / forest / swamp without killing themselves or the truck and can make a nice brew in the back when they get there.

dont be stupid, they're huge, it's a truck.

It's a De Dion set up. Essentially each wheel has it's own swing arm which is the full width of the vehicle, connecting to the chassis on the opposite side. There is only a tie bar between the hubs to keep the wheels aligned. That way all the diff's etc' are contained within the chassis, and out of harms way. Even the drive shafts are contained within the swinging arms.

Im trying to figure out the axle/suspension set up under these things. is it like the the ford ttb (twin traction beam. which is a pile in my opinion).

i'd get one of these things to tool around town in haha throw 6 of my buddies out back and party
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
