There Is Is Nothing Special About The Special Forces' Newest Truck. Navistar SOTV-B

Not sure if many of you have heard or seen, but USSOCOM is using a new truck that is not the Toyota Tacoma or Hilux. It is the Navistar SOTV-B, a mid size DCSB truck that looks like a debadged Tacoma.
Here is a quote from the gearheads.org article:
"The purpose-built SOTV-B features only mil-spec components throughout the vehicle, including the power-train and off-road suspension. Power comes from a 4.5L 4-cylinder Cummins ISB4.5 turbo diesel engine producing 250 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque (more torque than the ZL-1 or the Raptor), that’s also capable of running on JP8 military jet fuel. The two-speed transfer case and six-speed transmission are both way overspec’d by light truck standards, the Meritor case and Allison automatic typically being installed in much heavier trucks. The chassis features an armored safety cell, fully-independent suspension, and Dynatrac differentials (that appear similar to the $6K each diffs sold to rock crawlers and off-roaders)."
The great part is that its made in the USA, but the downside is that civilians can't buy it! True military grade. From the articles I've read, the truck is meant to look unassuming and blend in with other common trucks in other countries. It can be retrofitted with other body panels and skins to make it look like a Ford F-150 or a Volkswagon Amarok for instance.
Attached is a video from youtube showcasing the truck off roading, links to the Navistar Defense website with specs on the vehicle and interesting articles explaining the truck throughly and better than I can. Enjoy:

Here is the Navistar SOTV-A model truck built for Special Operations. Note the M2 Browning .50 BMG with M249 SAWs and a Warn winch. Serious hardware.
