Anyone knows? obviously is not made from a specific vehicle for legal reasons, but anyone knows what cars the designers might got the inspiration?

 

To me he kinda looks like a Porche Cayenee.

 

I'm thinking either an Escalade or Deneli looking at the front end.

 

Not even close.
IronHide was built as a scaled a pickup chassis version of the 4500 4X4 medium duty truck. There is a 5500 model 4X4 rated with 13 ton springs too.
These are a real 5 to 13 ton work trucks which dump boxes, refer boxes , fire trucks, mid sized buses are built on. Not a common pickup truck which is closer to a four door luxury sedan/car by comparison.
Ford, Dodge, GM and International have a "pretty boy" interior option package for a price that spares no luxury. And custom shops make an oversized but to scale pickup box to bolt onto the frame.
It isn't until you see a 4500 pickup parked beside a 2500 pickup that you notice the difference. The 4500/5500 crew cab pickup is massive.

 

He was modeled after the escalade

 

*chuckles*

You're talking about Movie-verse 'Hide. The poster's asking about Universe Ironhide, which is built around a totally different vehicle.

Pops managed to narrow down the options to either an Escalade or Yukon, which are pretty similar either way.

EDIT: pfft, beaten by a few minutes. Darned research. XP

 

For Movie Ironhide, you'd be completely right.

 

I'd say it was inspired by some form or combination of GM-made SUV.

 

a Durango?

 

Could be a Ford Expedition:

 

I think he's Ironhide!!! and that good enough for me.

 

The back end resembles that of a Trailblazer... Maybe an SRX... And the front is mostly Escalade, but I know for a fact GM doesn't do any SUVs with a grill like that (but it is an option for some sedans).

 

Durango

 

Damm was it THAT hard to paint the rimms?

 

To me he's just a generic big/midsize SUV, and it doesn't matter what he's based off of. It's not like I plan on going out and buying the vehicle that he most resembles just so I can say I'm driving Ironhide.

 

I think Escalade is the closest. You could even say a Nissan Armada.

 

He really looks close to the Escalade, specially the front

Thanks guys! you were of great help  

While thats true, i just wanted to have some nice reference pics to add detail to my figure  

 

Yeah, it's really a mash-up of two Caddys. The Escalade and the SRX, but with a V-Series type grille.

 

that was then blown up and the remaining pieces reassembled.

 

I know, I was just stating my personal opinion of the issue
