The US-based tuning company Hennessey, located in Texas, is well-known for its impressive transformations when it comes to American pick-up trucks. And along the years, we have seen amazing packages carried out on models from Ford, Chevy or RAM.
Now, the tuner is back into the spotlights with another outrageous package carried out on the 2019 Chevy Silverado, a massive and extremely good-looking truck. The first noticeable transformation at the exterior is the car’s stretched body, the engineers from Hennessey adding a new set of wheels, thus making it a 6×6 model. With that in mind, they decided to call their project – the Hennessey Goliath 6×6.
A 6×6 transmission translates in massive power, and this Goliath does impress with such thing. It features a mind-blowing 6.2-litre V8 engine, coming alongside an HPE700 2.9-liter Supercharger. Add up a stainless steel exhaust system signed by the same tuner, and you have a whopping 705 horsepower and 6765 lb-ft of torque out of the box.
And even if we are dealing here with a tank, Hennessey`s Goliath 6×6 can run pretty fast. This means that the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 4.5 seconds. Pretty astonishing, isn’t it?
Also, if you are wondering about the price, Hennessey is launching their Goliath for no less than $375,000, with a limited production of just 24 units. And that would be the basic Goliath. Add up more power (around 800 horsepower) and other mechanical stuff (Brembo brake system or interior upgrades) and we could be taking an extra $50k worth of goodies.
The 2023 Chevy Silverado Double Cab can tow up to 13,300 pounds, while the 2023 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab can tow up to 13,200 pounds. They are both great options, true off-road beasts!
Below are a couple of the “standard” specs that the Hennessey Goliath 6×6 comes with:
- 6X6 Conversion with an additional axle, wheels, tires and brakes
- All-new rear suspension system
- Eight-inch lift kit
- Custom 6X6 truck bed
- Hennessey 20-inch wheels
- BFG 37-inch off-road tires
- GOLIATH 6X6 & HENNESSEY graphics
- Rollbar upgrade
- LED lights
- Hennessey front and rear bumpers
- 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty.
From what I remember, the tuner’s latest project to receive world appreciation was the VelociRaptor 6×6, which is based on the Ford’s F-150 VelociRaptor, this one coming with plenty of aftermarket parts at the exterior, as well as under the hood as well. And even if it came cheaper (around $295,000) it is considered more appealing than the rugged Hennessey Goliath 6×6.
Among the truck`s main highlights we should mention the 6×6 locking rear axles, LED lights, roll bar, brand-new 20-inch wheels with off-road tires, custom-built front and rear bumpers, and a couple more. Power comes from a new performance package, which is 600+, along with new mechanical enhancements – new stainless exhaust system, upgraded twin turbochargers, new front-mounted air to air intercooler and so on.
