SmarTruck: Future Army Wheels?

The Car Connection:

When James Bond decides to upgrade from the slew of BMWs that he's been driving, instead of tapping Q for a new vehicle, he might consider placing an order with the U.S. Army's National Automotive Center (NAC) for its latest creation: the SmarTruck.

Based on the Ford F-250 platform, the SmarTruck features a plethora of high-tech innovations that make it ideal for the Army and for constantly changing battlefield locations. While the Humvee, which served the Army so well during Desert Storm, is a go-anywhere vehicle, it doesn't perform in urban environments as well as a more conventional vehicle does due to its wide stance and limited agility.
