    I would imagine it would also keep the truck from rolling over from the front end onto it's roof if they drove over a drop off. That fuel is pretty high up in the truck.

    Maybe that's at the crank? They could just be using the higher number to make it sound more bad ass.

    It is nice, but not $400,000 nice. I am guessing most of that expense is the research and development that went into it?

    You're both right. It's too prevent a frontward roll over, as well as to prevent falls into crevasses.

    I think normally (except for maybe truly hardcore rock rigs) they are kinda of silly but in this case I bet having it would be useful.

    • We had that for sale at our Lamborghini dealer here in Houston, I think we sold for around 90k if I remember right. It was way too high for me. Was very cool, but yeah the 400K was for R&D, curious to see how much it will go for at Barrett Jackson. We have a 08 Challenger w/ Hennessey package with 400 miles on the clock. Not a hellcat but still one of 50 cars and orange too. Damn nice car!
