The following is based on Van Buren design documents and is not canon.
The armored truck is Eddie Galenski 's preferred method of travel in 2253.
Overview [ ]
A trucker by trade, Eddie traveled from Hoover Dam with Agnes , Goddard and a large group to the Boulder Dome around 2250.
Van Buren [ ]
Once the player established trade with Denver , Galenski and his truck would disappear off the map for about a week once a month as he made a trading run.[1]
The truck was meant to be a drivable vehicle, and could be acquired by the player after killing Eddie. If salvaged, it would be unsuited for off-road travel. If the player forced it to go off-road, its tires and suspension would be ruined and the vehicle immobilized, becoming a landmark/base but no longer a vehicle. The only travel possible would be from Boulder to Denver.[2]
