What are those cool looking military pickups?

Oshkosh JLTV - successor to the Humvee.
They look slant because of their air suspension that drops down in transit mode.

 

They’re cool but I still want a Hummer with an LBZ.

 

Cost to us taxpayers? Between $370,000 and $413,00 EACH, depending on what onboard spa,,oops, I mean, equipment is specified. Has warfare progressed to the point that equipment like this is needed? Apparently so. War has always been, who can get the upper hand, and makes the poor MB Jeep look like a toy, yet, they serve the same purpose, just to a different scale. Half a mil worth? Wow,,,they are cool and proud to say made in my home state of Wisconsin.

 

It says a lot when a certain other fighting force in a certain country used Toyota trucks and they were as dependable as our own.

Maybe we should buy Toyotas and mount hardware on them, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper.

some reports say they were better in the harsh environment and didn’t have the breakdowns like ours.

 

Last weekends Garand Thumb video from youtube shows that

 

I also seen AM General was building them but I chalked it up to the military possibly needing a higher volume faster then OK could put out.
