Very unusual tow vehicle, see if you can guess it
Saw this on a Australian site, I know we have unusual tow vehicles but this one, is pretty unusual even by our standards. Yes it does have a " Garage" on the bed .

Pretty cool tow vehicle. Do you suppose he bought it that way, or repurposed a retired fire truck?
No repuposed it, someone on that group is doing something similar, except he is putting a smart car on the bed.
Guess "repuposed" it - means *repurposed* (change the purpose) - or maybe it's a slang term for a smart car ("pup") on the bed!
You don't have to go to Ausie land - HDTs with smart cars on the bed,
towing heavy pin weight 5th wheels are common in the USA.
Yep - they are repurposed from towing 80 thousand pound trailers,
to towing long, heavy, fifth wheels. Often "singled" (one of the tandem rear axles removed). Plenty of whistles & bells, automatic trannys, and sleeper cabs. All the horsepower and torque you could ever want or need! Tow anything you can put behind it with ease!
Can be licensed in many states as an RV - and only requires a standard Driver's License.
Lastly, used HDT's in good to excellent condition are available at approx the cost (or less) than a new pickup. Check out (the gallery pics) on the Escapees HDT forum.
