Narrative:

Landing 31R jfk immediately after T/D a vehicle (us government maroon chevy?) crossed runway at taxiway delta (right to left) near maximum brake and reverse thrust applied. Vehicle cleared runway and sped off. Aircraft and vehicle never go within 1000'. Tower and ground control informed. Callback conversation with reporter revealed following information. Reporter states this was government vehicle with no flags and no antennas indicating any possible radio communication. Appears to be totally unauthorized runway crossing. Flight crew applied heavy braking and reverse as vehicle sped up to clear runway. Flight crew turned off behind vehicle to keep in sight and informed ground so they could track the vehicle. States there are far too many vehicles on txwys with no tower contact. Feels they become complacent about their movement in relation to aircraft.
