Yeah it’s a Cadillac.

F250 frame on a GM vehicle

The frame is like a suburban or escalade.

I wonder what the cost of that limo is. I would imagine the windows and windshield can take some serious fire power.

Probably neither. Probably a custom frame for Presidential limos.

The new Beast should be out from Cadillac this year. It will look like an Escalade but will essentially be a medium duty truck underneath.

I meant like as in similar to. It’s without a doubt custom to the limo, but it’s most likely based on GM truck/suv frames.

It’s a GM medium duty straight frame chassis (Kodiak/Silverado 5500HD) with a Duramax diesel. The armor is apparently too heavy for a typical consumer truck chassis.

It’s a Cadillac in name only. Cadillac One is more of a survival bunker on wheels.

They order 5 or 6 of them at a time.

It's got the chassis and power train of a Chevy Kodiak.

Yeah I knew it was one of those 3/4 ton or 1 ton chassis. Been awhile since I watched the documentary

I looked it up and it's 1.5 million. It has rocket propelled grenades and 2 pints of whatever blood type the current president has.

Class 5 rated chassis more likely, no light-duty pickup truck frame is going to carry the weight of the armor and protection systems of that tank.

This is as incorrect as your F250 frame assertion.
