Imagine a heavy-duty pickup that tows a trailer all day, then quietly keeps an entire outpost lit up overnight. That's the role Ford is chasing with the F-Series Super Duty in the US Army’s new Heavy Infantry Squad Vehicle program, turning a familiar work truck into a mobile generator and troop hauler.
This is not a concept for an auto show stand. Backed by Pentagon funding, the Army wants a medium tactical truck that can haul soldiers and gear over bad roads while feeding power-hungry drones, sensors, radios, and command gear.
