Units shown were also fitted with advanced tactical electronics including "FLIR" ...

Neptune ◊ 2010-01-31 01:56	I figured this was also an F-350 as they showed another F-350 (the one fitted with night vision) they said it was an F-350 and showed the badge.
Ford_Guy ◊ 2010-01-31 02:04	My mistake then. They must be introducing F-350's into their fleet aside from the F-250's, perhaps to work some of the most rugged terrain. But F-250's still seem to be the norm, fleet-wise.

Ford_Guy ◊ 2010-01-31 02:10	Yes, I had seen it indeed a while back. I'm excited about the prospect. It's good to see that the government wants to get the best trucks possible for our boys working the border.
