Does anyone have any info on this vehicle? I looked on Olive Drab and poked around online a little, but couldn't find much info on it other than it was designed to recover MRAP's and other vehicles that are disabled.

Just wondering because it looks interesting, and i can only imagine how much the crane can lift. According to some pictures it can lift a fully equipped MRAP up (28000-33000lbs). Very interested in how much this will go for when it hits the surplus market (if it does), if it is cheap enough i might have to get one. Hehehe.

Sad but very true ! We civilians are not allowed such things. More then likely they will be sent to foreign countries or scrapped.
sadly, maybe a few will be given to the FBI for recovery of their MRAP's/SWAT trucks if need be.

I am surprised however that this truck can be built and be better than most wreckers, they should do this every time they need a new wrecker rather than try to fit it to a current gen 5-ton or 7-ton.
