Very cool. It's not as much protection as an MRAP, but thats not how the SF guys roll anyway.

Nice Tier2/3 vehicle, based on a gulf-spec Hilux or TLC. Hadn't realized that Battelle got the nod - thought it was a small business set-aside which they aren't.

$58M for 200 vehicles is $290,000.00 each! WOW!

It's the Hula-girl on the dash and the dingle-balls on the front windshield headliner that drives up the price.
