the vehicle is being used to test a vehicle crash barrier, no one was in the truck. (assuming this is the same video I have)

Why do they always use good trucks foir this stuff?? As if we dont waste enough as it is. Why not go to the junkyard, and get a piece of junk instead of something off the showroom floor? That wall must be crazy strong though!

BTW....Looks like a Ford dump truck to me
