Smartruck 3

...SmarTruck III, like its two predecessors, is loaded with sophisticated technology including a weapons station module - featuring a remote controlled 50-calibre machine gun - a surveillance module with a 360-degree camera, a pan and tilt night vision camera with laser range finder, a hydraulic assist system to help the vehicle during acceleration, a regenerative braking system, which stores energy and makes the vehicle more fuel efficient and a terrain adjustable suspension and chassis system. The vehicle has sufficient gross vehicle weight (GVW) to accommodate armor and additional weapons or control modules while still providing excellent performance and fuel efficiency.

Kind of solves the too many lights thing. No lights, just night vision. Think the cops in VA could still find a way to ticket it? (Sir, you have to many uncovered, high calibre machine guns on your vehicle...)

VA is open carry, so you cannot conceal those 50 cals! The more, the better... maybe an M134?

It's not exactly breaking news. I saw pictures and the article on it in truck trend like 5 months ago.

Still pretty cool looking though. I like the smaller one on the website.

I hope SmarTruck III is just internal code for Scout III... ;)

I saw the truck at the SEMA show, pretty cool truck. They had Army people showing what it could do.
