For ready-built super heavy off roaders, look no further than military surplus.

M923:

Or for even bigger and heavier, an Oshkosh MTVR:

The MTVR is a badass machine. I got to mess around with them a bit in the Marines Corps. While the HMMWV is generally a disappointment , the 7-ton is a thoroughly impressive vehicle .

Yeah I looked up the specs on it, wikipedia has an entire article dedicated to the suspension on it.

Indeed. 16 inches of IRS suspension travel on a medium duty truck. Air down the tires via the central inflation system and lock all the differentials  and they will go some impressive places.

Ju st look up the Group T4 rally trucks that compete in the FIA rally world cup. You will find countless off road race trucks.

Kamaz is one of the most common ones. So is Tatra, Mercedes, etc.

No American manufacturers compete as far as I know
