Is this a Toyota tundra underneath cause the wheels look like the factory tundra alloys and the steel wheels resemble factory stamped 200 series and Prado designs more likely the 200 steel wheels since the wheel lug probably same as tundra

This was exactly my thought, same look and bolt pattern. Those are the exact 18" Steels and 18" Aluminums offered with the 2nd generation Tundras.

Those look like the rims offered with 2nd generation Toyota Tundras. I see both the Steel 18" and the Aluminum 18"

Looks like an up armored 2008 Honda Ridgeline...

why slant the back end?

WorldNeverBreakMe@reddit

If I had to guess without any information, they don't need extra troop transport capabilities on this kinda vehicle, so a larger area in the back is probably almost entirely useless and just adds a bit extra complexity and wasted material when constructing it that is otherwise unneeded with this slant. It also might be a partially aesthetic design choice to make it appear more "professional"

I think they just used a ute/pickup truck body.

WorldNeverBreakMe@reddit

It says it's based on a car chassis, so I assumed it's an entirely new body instead of an armor package on a vehicle. I'm probably wrong, but that was my assumption with how the title was worded

I think maybe it has two doors on that fastback slope that open to the sides. That way it has a huge loading bay / repair access, or ad-hoc troop compartment if necessary.

Would assume that its the most sensible way of armouring the 'tailgate' to the roofline.

Fastback for style points

I think we're all just waiting for some to build a pursuit special technical. We all know it's heading there it's the natural apotheosis of technicals

They put an autocannon on that?

[-]

OneFrenchman@reddit

It's just a 14.5mm.

Gunga_the_Caveman@reddit

i wonder at what point does a heavy machingun become an autocannon

[-]

Plump_Apparatus@reddit

20mm(.80 inches) or larger is the typical number used.

[-]

GonzaSpectre@reddit

I thought it was 15 since the WWII German 151/15 was classified as an autocannon iirc

[-]

Plump_Apparatus@reddit

"Typical" would be the key word, as there is no defined standard that I'm aware of.

The first autocannon was the pom-pom with a 37mm bore, which predates the 151/15 by around 50 years. The 151/15 itself become the 151/20. I'm unaware of the etomology of the word.
