'Ultimate tactical off-road truck': 2026 Rezvani Fortress is the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux rival for the apocalypse

Is your family prepped for the apocalypse, yet? If not then perhaps you need a Fortress - a military-inspired tactical ute built by United States custom car builder Rezvani.

The Fortress is the latest model to be built by Rezvani. Only shadowy teaser images have been released ahead of its reveal in a month's time, but if the company’s previous models are anything to go by the this will be a very wild truck.

From what we can see the Fortress is a large dual-cab pickup with futuristic styling, but unlike the Tesla Cybertruck it has what appears to be an open tray bed without a large canopy.

As with all of Rezvani’s creations the vehicles use a base car for the foundations before being heavily modified. In the case of the Fortress, Rezvani may have used the Jeep Gladiator as it has with past models.

From what we can see in the images, the Fortress features a high bonnet crowned with an enormous air intake scoop.

Minimal LED lighting is seen in the form of a roof top light bar, small headlights and strip lighting across the grille’s top edge and at the rear minimalist taillights take the form of elongated vertically positioned arrows.

Set to be revealed in June the Fortress is billed by Rezvani as the “ultimate tactical off-road truck” and is said to be available with a range of James Bond style enhancements including electrified door handles, smoke screen function and body panel armour.

If you think that all sounds a bit over the top, you should check out Rezvani’s past models. There’s the Jeep Wrangler-based Tank which Rezvani calls an XUV or Xtreme Utility Vehicle which looks as though it's been pulled off a sci-fi movie set.

The Tank which lists in the US for more than A$500,000 comes with some extreme options, too, including protection of electromagnetic pulse weapons.

There’s also the Dark Knight SUV which is based on the Lamborghini Urus; or the Beast which uses the Corvette C8 sports car as a starting point; and then there's the Hercules which is a heavily customised Jeep Gladiator but with, wait for it… six-wheel drive.

Will the Rezavni Fortress come to Australia? It’s unlikely that it would pass our strict Australia Design Rules, especially those with electrified door handles.
