Soldier Fortune is a custom monster truck owned by FELD Motorsports and it is driven by Chad Fortune. The truck, which serves as a dedication to men and women of the U.S. Military, made its debut in Miami Monster Jam 2015. The truck roughly resembles a Warthog from the popular video game series HALO.
Controversy arose in 2017 after FELD removed the machine gun from the top of the truck for unspecified reasons, in an effort to censor guns from trucks such as Metal Mulisha and Gunslinger (by renaming it to Slinger). Fans argued that, similar to Gunslinger, the gun was a significant importance to the truck and that removing the gun made the truck become less relevant.
