Interesting photo. The truck looks like it is set up as a mobile ATC shack, or possibly the OSCAR vehicle. Assuming it has specialized kit for those jobs, it seems odd that it would be used as a follow mevehicle. I think of the follow me as one of the smaller, lighter, cheaper vehicles on an airport, usually big enough for stability and to hold the signage (and the operator hopes for shelter from the weather) fast enough to get into place to meet the airplane and stay ahead of it while the airplane taxis but otherwise as low a capability as possible.
