Key takeaways

  • The Condorᵗ® is Alpine Armoring's purpose-built civilian armored luxury tactical truck, engineered from the ground up rather than converted, with a Ford F-600 4x4 chassis, a 330-hp 6.7L V8 turbo-diesel, and a dedicated secure cargo bed.
  • Protection runs from Alpine Level A9 (CEN B6+) as standard up to Level A12 (B7+), stopping rounds from 7.62x51mm rifles at the base level and armor-piercing ammunition and .50 BMG at the ceiling, with materials tested to NIJ 0101.07, EN 1063, VPAM, and STANAG 4569.
  • The cabin seats four in a 2+2 VIP layout, expandable to six (2+2+2) with electronically operated rear-facing jump seats, and pairs perforated massage-and-climate leather chairs with dual panoramic armored sunroofs, a starlight headliner, and an Alpine 6.1 surround-sound system.
  • The Condorᵗ® makes its world debut at Monterey Car Week 2026, appearing at The Quail on August 14 and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 15–16, with an A9 unit already in production and available to ship soon.

The Condorᵗ® is the only purpose-built civilian armored luxury tactical truck on the market, built for heads of state, ultra-high-net-worth principals, corporate executives, and government agencies. It makes its world debut at Monterey Car Week 2026, appearing at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on August 14 and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 15–16. Where most ballistic vehicles start as civilian models sent out for conversion, Alpine Armoring designs, engineers, and manufactures the Condorᵗ® entirely in-house, so protection is integral to the structure rather than an afterthought bolted onto it.

What Is the Condorᵗ® Luxury Tactical Truck?

It is a purpose-built luxury tactical truck that carries Alpine Level A9 ballistic protection as standard, up to the top .50-caliber grade, on a Super Duty Ford F-600 4x4 chassis, powered by a 6.7L V8 Power Stroke turbo-diesel producing 330 hp through a 6-speed automatic. Twenty-inch military wheels with solid-rubber run-flat inserts keep it moving up to 50 miles at 50 mph on flat or shot-out tires, holding course across urban, off-road, and highway terrain. Weight ranges from roughly 16,510 to 19,200 lbs depending on the grade specified. Every unit is built at our facility in Chantilly, Virginia, 25 miles from Washington, D.C.

How Does It Differ from the SUV?

It is the pickup-style truck in the Condor® family, the counterpart to the enclosed SUV. This mirrors the split across the Pit-Bull® line, where the enclosed VX® and the open-bed VXT® share one platform. These variants come from direct client feedback, and this truck answers principals who wanted the same certified build with a dedicated secure cargo bed behind the cabin.

"Clients kept asking for the same interior and the same certified build in a body that could carry secured equipment behind them," said Cameron Khoroushi, Director of Design & Engineering. "This truck is that vehicle. We engineered the cargo bed and the ballistic steel together, so the layout compromises nothing about the build."

Both vehicles share the Ford F-600 4x4 platform, the 330-hp V8 turbo-diesel, A9 to A12 ballistic protection, 20-inch military run-flats, and dual panoramic sunroofs.

What Protection Levels Does It Offer?

It comes standard at Alpine Level A9 (CEN B6+). It reaches Level A12 (B7+) at the top, with full-perimeter hardened steel covering the passenger compartment, firewall, fuel tank, ECM, floor, and roof, plus anti-sabotage exhaust protection. Every ballistic rating is verified against internationally recognized standards.

Alpine Level A9: the standard build

At A9, it stops 7.62x39mm, 5.56x45mm, and 7.62x51mm rifle rounds. The protection is built from certified ballistic steel meeting Mil-Specs 46100 and Mil-A-32332, along with ultra-high-hardness wrought alloy and no-spall, multi-ply glass certified by Beschussamt München that resists delamination while keeping optical clarity. The floor is engineered to resist blast threats, and A9 is what most executive-protection principals and diplomatic fleets specify for daily use in elevated-risk environments.

Alpine Level A12: the ceiling

At A12, it stops armor-piercing rifle rounds and .50 BMG projectiles. Materials are tested to NIJ 0101.07, EN 1063, VPAM, and STANAG 4569. Specifying the top grade pushes the weight toward 19,200 lbs, which is why the upgraded suspension, brakes, and run-flat wheels come standard on every build.

What Makes the Interior a VIP Cabin?

The cabin pairs certified protection with genuine luxury, and that combination is the point. Perforated leather captain's chairs offer massage and climate control, electronically operated rear-facing jump seats fold out to seat two more, and full thermal and acoustic insulation runs throughout. Dual panoramic glass sunroofs with retractable shades sit under a starlight headliner, above bespoke wood-laminate flooring and RGB ambient lighting along the crown molding.

Technology matches the comfort. An Alpine 6.1 surround-sound system, a multimedia display with CarPlay and a 360-degree camera feed, a dedicated tablet at each rear seat for lighting and climate, three wireless chargers, and folding tables with USB and HDMI at each seat keep principals connected. Automated privacy curtains cover the rear windows and roof glass, and the dedicated truck bed gives secure, accessible cargo storage that no enclosed SUV in this class provides.

Where Can You See the Condorᵗ® in Person?

It debuts at Monterey Car Week 2026, and you can see it at two events. It appears at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on Friday, August 14, then joins the field at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 15–16. Both events sit under the Monterey Car Week umbrella, the most concentrated gathering of collectors, media, and serious buyers on the automotive calendar. Visitors will see it finished to full production specification, from the massage-equipped VIP cabin to the certified glass and the dedicated cargo bed. If you plan to attend either show, you're welcome to see the truck up close and speak with the team.

FAQs

What does the "t" in Condorᵗ® stand for?

The "t" in Condorᵗ® designates the truck body style, distinguishing it from the enclosed Condor® SUV. Both vehicles share the same Ford F-600 platform, drivetrain, and A9 to A12 protection, but the Condorᵗ® adds a dedicated secure cargo bed behind the passenger cabin.

Can civilians buy the Condorᵗ® in the USA?

Yes, the Condorᵗ® is street legal to own and drive for civilian buyers in all 50 states, with no special license required to operate one. Alpine Armoring sells to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, and private security firms alongside its government and law enforcement clients.

How many passengers does the Condorᵗ® seat?

The Condorᵗ® seats four passengers in its standard 2+2 VIP configuration and expands to six (2+2+2) with electronically operated rear-facing jump seats. Every seating position sits inside the full-perimeter armored cabin, protected to the vehicle's specified Alpine level.
