THE BREAKDOWN Ford holds a Defense Department contract to build three ISV‑Heavy prototypes based on the F‑Series Super Duty. 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. Ford’s approach starts with a Super Duty ladder frame, existing engines and transmissions, and a cab and bed reworked for military tasks rather than weekend towing or jobsite hauling. In practice, each truck becomes a tactical power bank, a concept that lines up with the generator-style systems Ford already offers on civilian Super Duty models.
