Snippet: The company states that the heart of the design concept of the vehicle is a unique 4-wheel rear suspension unit that has independent suspension for each pair of rear wheels. The unit incorporates a pivot axis that permits the vehicle to rise or fall, and move with just one of its 6 wheels touching the ground. Desert Raider's automatic transmission, powerful engine and flexible, yet rugged frame, further add to its mobility and maneuverability under extreme field conditions and rough terrain.

I guess that keeps it capable while allowing for more payload than a similar 4 wheeler.
