The model is reported to do a combined 21.0 liters per 100 km (or ~11-ish mpg) and more in the city. Driving this monster means you'll be paying roughly 50€ per 100km just for gas even if you didn't have to pay any of those import taxes. You really, really have to love this truck to drive it in Finland.

My friend bought a TRX. Not sure why, he has to drive a lot for work. He was paying over $250 a week in gas and even with mileage reimbursement from his work it didn’t make sense. I laughed when he sold it within 2 months.

He did end of selling it for much more than he bought it for.

Or you're wealthy enough that 50€ (or 500€) is nothing to you, which seems likely in this case. (Tax avoidance notwithstanding.)
