The Snakehead is a simple technical, nothing more than a pickup truck with a manned machinegun in the back. It's high mobility makes it perfect for scouting, patrolling, and raiding targets of light resistance. It's default machinegun is effective at mowing down infantry but weak against anything heavier than light vehicles. It can transport a single passenger who will also boost it's efficiency against heavier vehicles by replacing the machinegun with a recoiless rifle.
However, if the passenger is a Mad Bomber it will instead be armed with an explosive payload, turning it into a fast suicide bomb vehicle akin to the car bombs used by the Scavengers. Mad Bombers are known to compliment it's explosive payload by attaching one of their timed charges to it in order to maximize damage output and, in their own twisted way, for good luck. While most drivers are willing to carry out suicide attacks since it leads to a better death than a slow and painful one via Tiberium mutation, there are still those who needed some encouraging...
Notes:
-Can carry 1 passenger (size limit 1)
-Default heavy machinegun is replaced with a recoiless rifle when carrying a passenger (except engineer and beast infantry) or an explosive payload when carrying a Mad Bomber _________________ The future belongs to The Forgotten!

While I like the basic concept of the technical (every faction with a scrapyard-ish theme should have one!), I don't really dig the name - it's too specific and obscure. Why not name the vehicle after a certain species of snake, perhaps one @home in a sandy habitat, rather than a specific bodypart? _________________

When carrying a Mad Bomber, the Snakehead will be turned into a suicide bomb vehicle, using the same death weapon as it's passenger. Given it's fast speed and poor armor, this allows the Guardians and Warriors to emulate the Scavengers' Martyr car bombs although its not necessarily a better alternative to the Deliverance demo truck (its still strong enough to heavily damage or destroy light structures).
Here's a pic of one of them exploding:
