The British, Swiss, and Austrian military are some of the main buyers of these trucks. These vehicle have unmatched off-road capability. They have OEM lockers on both the front and rear differentials, making them true 4x4s (or 6x6s). The 712, with three axles and six wheels, allows locking of the rear four wheels, the front two wheels, or all six at once. They have super-strong drivelines and have greater ground clearance than a Hummer. The 710 (4x4) has independent coil suspension at all four corners; the 6x6 has leaf springs in the rear and has a one ton load capacity. They have portal axles, which increase the ground clearance, like a Hummer and Unimog, and send more power to the wheels. They are surprisingly easy to manuever. They are used by the military as troop carriers, communication vehicles, and equipment carriers. Civilian uses include service in fire fighting, search and rescue operations, and backcountry operations such as utility company maintenance work. 6x6 models are much harder to locate in the used vehicle market. Vehicles imported into the US must be at least 25 years old, in order to meet safety and smog requirements. In California, they must be 27 years old to meet smog exemption requirements.
