The Presidential Vehicle Problems
The Beast is a highly modified vehicle, but it isn’t the only one in the president’s motorcade. It only makes sense that the other vehicles are also modified to ensure that the Secret Service agents have every advantage possible in their travels with the president. Unfortunately, the vehicles do breakdown at times, and this used to be even worse prior to the era of President Bush. This is because the increased weight, as well as other factors, put a strain on the vehicles.

The Old Vehicle System
The way how acquiring presidential vehicles used to work was the reason for the frequent breakdowns. Simply put, the vehicles that were being used were not suited to the type of modifications and travel required of them. Initially, the vehicles used to be acquired in a regular, road-worthy state. Using aftermarket parts, they were then modified as desired to different degrees to suit the needs of the president, as well as the other members of the motorcade. This is where the incompatibility came in.
