The Hennessey Goliath 6X6 is 700 horsepower's worth of America

It's not a bad way to spend $375,000, provided it's not your last $375,000.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The Goliath uses a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss Z71 as its base.

Hennessey then adds the second rear axle with the required brakes, 37-inch off-road tires and all that good stuff.

There's a whole new rear suspension setup, in addition to a four-corner lift that adds 8 inches of ride height.

The bed is custom developed for the Goliath, too.

The Silverado's 6.2-liter V8 is removed and equipped with a 2.9-liter supercharger, and a new exhaust system is fitted to the truck. The new power output is a meaty and ludicrous 705 horsepower and 675 pound-feet of torque.
