It doesn’t matter if the prices of fuel are soaring or environment is suffering from gas guzzling heavy duty SUVs. There’s still a large audience out craving for heavy-duty intimidating looking SUVs, both in India and outside. And to cater such audience, a lot of small-scale manufacturers, apart from the regular mass manufacturers put in a lot effort.
One such company based out of California is called U.S. Specialty Vehicles, or USSV, and they take Jeep Wranglers and Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, and convert them into monster SUVs. Such is the design of USSV trucks that you can easily forget U.S forces’ Hummers.
There’s a big Super Duty-based SUV called Rhino GX, which is mammoth by any given standard. USSV has launched an ultra-luxury version of the GX and named it Rhino GX Executive. Basically USSV has launched a tank with a cabin borrowed from a private jet.
As per the images, the Rhino GX Executive's rear seating area is where all the fun is! The rear cabin of the Executive comes with just two power-reclining bucket seats with built-in ottomans. The entertainment unit is a 40-inch TV mounted on a partition between the passenger area and the front seats and can be operated by a touchscreen on center armrest.
To converse with the driver, there’s an intercom and the cabin can also be fitted with a sunroof, which looks more like a skylight, and a satellite TV receiver.

Sitting on huge 38-inch tyres, the Rhino is available in three colors inside and out - Black, tan, and khaki green for the exterior and an all-black leather cabin. Rest of the USSV Rhino GX Executive is same as the GX and is powered by either a 6.7-litre Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 or a 6.8-litre naturally aspirated V10. All of them are fitted with four-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic.
To order a USSV 25 percent deposit of the full amount is to be made by American customers, and a 50 percent deposit for international buyers.
