The KNIGHT XV is the meanest, toughest, and safest civilian vehicle on the road. Not only is this thing bulletproof, apparently it is grenade-proof as well, which is good in case you're taking a less-than-favorable route to the Olive Garden.

Built by Conquest Vehicles, the KNIGHT XV comes stock with a state-of-the-art braking system, turbo package, and a 2-foot extension package so that you can bring all of the neighbors' kids along too. This vehicle is perfect for those off-road adventures or surviving the apocalypse.
