I think that's the wrong picture. The article lists the truck as a "production F-350". My search produced this image as being the more likely candidate (PS do a search on SmarTruck II for the previous iteration, based on a 6-wheel drive modified GM vehicle)

The Smar Truck is an International Harvester product. It is $600,000 plus.

The text on this article is really wrong.

This is an Army project, Not Homeland security. In fact the vehicle is destined for Iraq after the auto show circuit.

And, in fact, it is an International Harvester truck frame.

Some features include electrified door handles, strobe headlights (to disorient oncoming drivers), smoke dispenser, oil dispenser, tear gas (pepper spray) dispenser, and Oh BTW a 50 cal gun remotely controlled from inside the cab. It has a retractable roof, IR capabilities, etc.

Now you know why it is $600K.
