Ordinarily looking like something you'd expect to see dragging Indiana Jones behind on a rope, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/24/mercedes-introduces-their-new-zetros-military-truck/">Mercedes-Benz Zetros</a> is not exactly the pinnacle of luxury for which the Silver Star has become known to upscale buyers. But that doesn't mean it can't change.<br />
<br />
Two businessmen in Mongolia have ordered a matching pair of the six-wheel-drive cargo truck and had them converted to luxury RVs for use on hunting expeditions. And we're not talking about poaching grouse with a shotgun, either: These guys hunt for wolves. In the Altai mountains. With an eagle. (Seriously, we couldn't make this stuff up - unless of course this is an early April Fool's joke from our friends in Stuttgart.)<br />
<br />
For the expeditions, these Zetros customs have been fitted with everything you'd expect on a yacht: Full bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom (complete with shower, marble tiles and under-floor heating). They've got 46-inch flat-screen TV monitors, outdoor grilles, Bose sound systems, self-adjusting motorized satellite dishes, Wi-Fi, even place for an ATV.<br />
<br />
A 7.2-liter inline-six diesel engine with 326 horsepower and 960 pound-feet of torque does the pushing/pulling duties, driving all six wheels for a chassis load capacity of 16 metric tons. Which strikes us as exactly what they'll need to schlepp all those electronics and marble tiling around the Mongolian desert. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/25/mercedes-benz-zetros-6x6-luxed-up-for-mongolian-hunting-expediti/#continued">Follow the jump</a> for all the details in the full press blast.<br />
