In this thrilling episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we dive into the world of Diplomatic Security Service's armored vehicles, designed to protect high-profile individuals in dangerous territories. These aren't your average limos from the '80s and '90s; they're modern, sleek, and packed with cutting-edge technology. The team emphasizes the critical role these vehicles play in safeguarding diplomats in places like Haiti, where security threats are a daily reality. They recount a recent incident where the vehicle took multiple shots but stood strong, showcasing its "ballistic resistant" design.

The Diplomatic Security Service spares no expense when it comes to outfitting these vehicles with run-flat tires and top-notch armor, ensuring they can withstand attacks and keep moving. While these armored Chevy Suburbans may look like your regular SUV on the outside, they undergo a rigorous transformation process by third-party armors, inspected meticulously by the Diplomatic Security Service. From bullet-resistant glass to underbody armor, every detail is crafted to protect the occupants in the most hostile environments.

Behind the wheel of these heavy-duty machines, extensive driver training is essential to navigate their weight and handling characteristics effectively. The vehicles, equipped with four-wheel drive and luxury features, are a blend of power and protection. With an emphasis on safety and security, these armored vehicles are a testament to engineering excellence and the unwavering dedication of the Diplomatic Security Service in fulfilling their mission.
