OP, funny thing you mentioned “monstrosity” in your first post. That’s actually a Maibatsu Monstrosity. “Mine’s bigger!”

It’s an armored up Ford chassis. Forgot the manufactures name. Was featured in Recoil magazine a few years back. Used to live in Boca Raton FL n saw one every day. Had a dealer of exotic cars down street from office and a guy drove one. Saw it all over town. Could buy a Lamborghini for what this costs. Armor is optional I think.

Ridden in a much older version of the USSV RHINO when I was in Iraq. Over there we used them to move civilian contractors from one place to another without the military.
Over here as a privately owned vehicle it just screams look at me, I have to compensate. There are other armored vehicles that are subtle and don't draw attention that are more effective.

This.
If you're driving around in one of these because there is a real danger of encountering an IED or an RPG, O.K.
But when you're taking it to the mall during the Christmas shopping season...

I believe it is the Knight XV, built by Conquest Vehicles. They build high end armored vehicles for private, gov't and corporate use.

At that price point, I'd safely rule out the possibility of it being associated with any of the local police departments swat teams. They prefer the more budget friendly decommissioned military vehicles.

On the tail end of my repair shop days, we started combing through newly acquired armored and soon to be armored versions. Port Washington was the 1st, I believe, and it snowballed to other local Northshore Nassau depts.

I only have pics of these 2 in this phone. We also had a couple of deuce and a halfs, one of which was owned by one of our officer friends and member of a local antique and military truck club.

It took me a while to talk my wife out of this one. She wanted it for commuting over rush hour traffic. Yes, I meant over. I told her that nurses are supposed to help patients, not create them. 😆

I’m pretty sure I saw this guy in midtown a few weeks ago. I was walking back to Penn Station and saw a very similar looking truck trying to maneuver through traffic. He wasn’t very good at it.

Saw this monstrosity on the road today.
I mean, nobody is forcing you to drive and/or look at it -- why let it affect you so viscerally?

This is the wonderful thing about America: we should have the freedom to express ourselves without the fear of persecution (although, that's sort of been dwindling in the last couple of years).

Saw this monstrosity on the road today. Looks pretty armored and even has grab handles/ foot slots for outside security. It looks to be 5 tons if it's a pound. I'm not going to say it belongs to some trashy dude with more money than sense, but it does have FL plates...

Looks like somebody from the South Fork was doing some wine tasting on the North Fork.
