I thought I'd seen it somewhere before! That was the easy part. Now, to remember which film it appeared in... ?! I guess the movie was a set-in-the-future sci-fi flic with this being some kind of fuel truck?

"The "Mongo" heist truck from Fast Five, built to steal exotic cars off a speeding train in the Fast & Furious movie franchise. That's an old Oshkosh HEMTT military truck cab with an exterior roll cage, and power is courtesy of a GM RamJet 502-cubic-inch big-block V8 making about 500 horsepower"
