Can someone who knows better enlighten me a little here?
I would question the feasability of these new tactical vehs in service. Larger is not better especially with regards to congested urban environs, narrow foreign roads and highways, swamps, deserts, jungles, mountain ranges etc. When the US decided to scrap the infamous jeep for the HMMVW they found out very quickly that the nimble quality of the jeep was lost forever. I would suppose that todays military opts for protective and load handling qualitites over those that were imparted by the jeep? Of course I am not comparing a 10 ton truck to that of a lightweight mv but it seems that the days of small tactical vehicles are dwindling...
