I had a WHCA guy tell me once they are pretty heavy and go through brakes quickly.

It says it's built off an F350.
My crew cab long bed Diesel 4x4 F350 is 8,000lbs empty with 48 gallons of fuel. I did my front brakes at about 60K miles.

That vehicle has an extra set of doors, a lot of electronics, a couple of guys, upgraded electrical systems, and probably some level of armor.

I got to go inside a previous version and it looked pretty heavy. It had lots of batteries and a generator and lots of radio equipment and antennas and stuff. It would make a real nice ham van if they ever got surplused.
