It combines a commercial truck's speed and maneuverability and APC-like armour, qualities necessary for low-intensity confrontation.

The vehicle's first reported use was by the Israel Defense Forces in Operation Bringing Home the Goods[5] on 14 March 2006.

The Wolf consists of a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Ford F-550 chassis modified by Manning Equipment, an OEM up-fitter located in Louisville, KY so it can be easily maintained anywhere.

The hull roof can accept a Remote Weapon Station (RWS) which allows the occupants to engage enemies without exposure.

The vehicle interior is equipped with a double air conditioning system, seats and brackets for items that a soldier might need.

The Wolf weighs approximately 8 long tons (8,128 kg), and can carry a crew of up to 12 personnel, with an additional 2 stretch beds, if necessary.
