Leave the Saint Bernards at home, honey, we’ve got something better. The Subaru Mountain Rescue Vehicle was made for the National Ski Patrol — an organization we had never heard of until we saw this truck. On its tiptoes it has 35cm of clearance, and the staid passenger car driving compartment is balanced by the diamond plate floor and steel walls in the rear. Its got more flashing lights than K-Mart, and a 4,300kg winch in case you need to rescue snowcats. And apparently, when ski time is over, you can hop in the toboggan that’s mounted on the roof. Or you can put injured people in it. Your choice. Have a look at the mighty mountain rescue ranger vehicle in the gallery of high-res photos below.
