I want one............NOW
It reminds me of a larger version of the aircraft towing truck we use in work, but pimped out to the nth degree

Not Army, and the wrong end of the Earth; but not a bad guess.

oh, now I remember reading about one of these in a Clive Cussler book, but I can't think what it was called.

Ok, it's called the Antarctic Snow Cruiser, and although it had a number of innovative features, it was also a total failure - getting stuck in a relatively little amount of snow and abandoned.
No one is quite sure where it is today - it could still be buried under the snow where it was left; or it could have drifted out to sea and sank when the ice shelf it was sitting on broke off.
