Default Is this a BlackOps truck?

In the Mindy McCready suicide story there is a picture of what appears to be a Black Ops Ford Truck is it not?

It just might be a black Ford F150.

I saw that symbol below the Ford Logo on the Tailgate and assumed it was the Black Ops logo.

Looks like a normal lifted F-150 to me...

I don't think it's the Black Ops edition.. But on the first link you can see a US Army sticker, so

Never heard of the BO edition. Looked it up and I now have a new dream truck.

The truck is too moded for a government vehicle. The Federal Marshals in this area run F250's and the only mod on the exterior that i've seen is a brush guard and tool box.

That's not what they're talking about.
'Black Ops' is some kind of video game (I gather), and some Ford dealers(or a company that mods vehicles) have come out with a 'Black Ops Edition' F150 where they installed a bunch of accessories, lift, wheels/tires, and some interior embroidery.. I'm sure you'd find it on Google if you want to see one.

BTW... I think the OP might be right.
That sticker on the tail gate definitely is NOT an Army sticker. 'Official' Army stickers don't have a skull and cross rifles 'emblem' on 'em, but the Black ops does.
I also noticed the tail pipes on the truck in the pic matching those on the 'Black Ops' truck.

'Black Ops' logo:

In my brief search on Google, I couldn't find a straight-on shot of the tailgate. In the one I posted you can see the sticker being in the same place as the one in the news story pic. After looking at the logo on the headrest, it looks an awful lot like the logo on that sticker as well.

Tuscany, one of the largest Ford-approved specialty vehicle manufacturers in the country, has developed the F150 and F250 "BLACK OPS" to honor the brave men and women of the United States armed forces. We believe in the theme of this truck and what it stands for.

As a way to confirm our profound belief in America and the people who have fought for our freedoms, we will donate $200 to the Wounded Warrior Project for every "BLACK OPS" edition truck produced.
