The Cherokee Nation Department of Public Safety is seeking two full-size, 4x4 pickup trucks for its public safety operations.
- **Buyer:** Cherokee Nation Department of Public Safety.
- **Quantity and vehicle:** Two 2026-or-newer light-duty, half-ton pickups; both trucks must match in color, with black or white preferred.
- **Requested configuration:** Four-door crew cab, part-time 4WD with electronic shift-on-the-fly, six-passenger seating, 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine rated at 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, 10-speed automatic transmission, and automatic locking hubs.
  - Specified dimensions include a 67.1-inch bed, 232-inch length, 95.7-inch width with mirrors, 77.1-inch height, and 145.4-inch wheelbase. Payload capacity is listed as 1,650 lb and maximum towing capacity as up to 13,100 lb.
  - Other specified features include a 36-gallon tank, regular unleaded fuel, independent front suspension with stabilizer bar, and a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty.

  - Bluetooth/SYNC, bed liner, cargo lighting, running boards, heated front seats, and advanced trailer-assist features are optional or considered equipment.
- **OEM note:** No manufacturer is expressly required. The 2.7L EcoBoost specification points to Ford as a possible OEM inference; a Ford F-150 is a potential match, subject to meeting or exceeding all specifications.
