Not sure if you’ve seen the original Men in Black movie, but this truck totally reminds me of the alien in the “Edgar Suit.”

So, too, have their adversaries.
Lastly that “propeller hat” up top is similar to the ‘x wing’ antennas we used to use on our an/psc-5's for SATCOM - satellite communications.

The SOTV linked in my post above had independent rear suspension. The rear end looks like a solid axle. I’d heard that there were other competing bids to the International/Navistar SOTV-A/B but can’t recall which manufacturer is also in the mix.
The 8 lug wheels are a giveaway that this is a hilux body on a beefier platform. DoD has been looking at these for a while.

Not that anyone is going to read this but Pro: the company has GREAT customer service. Con: I’ve had to avail myself of it 3 times now, and I’ve given up. Reason: I’m 6'1" 190lbs, I used this at my standing desk as a balance board. I’ve long since thrown away what remained of my 4th simply fit board. Without bouncing…
