While it may not be powered by mere petrol, keep in mind that in most places diesel fuel actually costs more nowadays. Sure, you get over 737 lb-ft of torque from the 6.7-liter inline-six Cummins, but you really do need it to move this beast of burly burden.

Here's the thing, we've seen vehicles like this sort of 6/4 scale pick-em'-up truck plenty of times before. Remember the ridiculous Alton? Or this F-650 from SEMA? Or how about this piece of overcompensation? Then there's the rigs from International. And don't even get us started on our buddy Ironhide, the GMC TopKick. We're just trying to point out that maybe the German turners at Geiger didn't exactly have the timing right on bringing this to the market.

<![CDATA[ Santa Laughing Spreads His Wings: The Geiger H2 Sleigh Thingy ]]>

By the spirit of Charlie Brown's Tannenbaum, we simply cannot believe this thing. The folks at Geiger Cars infused this H2 with little in the way of Bruce and a whole lot in the way of bombast. 3,800 watts of goodwill in the stereo, McMerc-style doors, a faux-bearskin rug and a red leather couch in the back — complete with Webasto auxiliary heater, plus a matching snowmobile and trailer. Interestingly, they didn't mess with the motor. It still displaces the eight tiny reindeer with a mere 320 horses.
