Almost all of the news coverage of this only has shots of Trump speaking from the cab. But there is one image I found indicating on the door this is a Freightliner M2. The M2 is a very broad vehicle platform for Freightliner with gross vehicle weights ranging from class 6 to class 8. Meaning it can have a combined weight of truck plus whatever body is mounted on it (box, crane, or in this case refuse) ranging from as low as about 25k lbs to in the M2's specs application as high as 65k lbs. A quick look at this particular truck I'd guess it is closer to class 6-7, mainly due to the refuse body mount seeming to be smaller than the "severe" applications that come in class 8. But the key info is the truck has to 1) be made at the Freightliner factory and sold to a refuse body manufacturer. 2) The refuse application is installed and either sold direct by that manufacturer or 3) the finished truck is sold to a dealer who tries to sell it to a customer.
This dealer selling what should be a very close match and manufactured in 2024 has it listed at $180k. Given the custom Trump paint and probably some other obnoxious custom features that may have added to the Trump truck, I'd estimate it goes for $200-225k+.
Can't forget about one of the most evil of them all, and a major asset for providing surveillance on behalf of the Zionist entity. Palantir, which is up 150.0% 1YR.
