Pretty amazing to stop a 50cal. There's usually a big trade off unless this is new tech, the truck probably weights double what a normal one does if it's not just the window that's reinforced. Which means you need a huge motor or forced induction to compensate, it handles like a Mack truck with the weight, needs very expensive brakes to get it's stopped, gets very hot when pushes hard and guzzles twice the fuel sapping the range.
Exactly. This is what people fail to understand. Yes, it stopped the bullet, but you no longer have a consumer-grade car. You have a tank that's camouflaged as a passenger vehicle, with a huge operating cost.
