Will Barack be sending ISIS these new trucks?

Oshkosh has been building extreme heavy duty trucks since the beginning of automotive history (huge snowblower trucks are what I’m most familiar with).
So I’m inclined to believe this could be a good truck.
But, if someone offered me a free M151 or this new truck, I’d take the M151 in a heartbeat.

Hear sound.
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
I am off to view the SITE.

Bet it can burn soy-derived diesel.

Yes. He will. It’ll be through Biden and Warren. Since conservatives seem bent on nominating a liberal again, the Rats are sure to win the presidency = Obama’s third, fourth, fifth, and sixth terms.

The site doesn’t say much about specs.
I have to assume the MIL insisted it be IED resistant...?

I don’t see any design feature that would divert an IED blast away from the occupants. Even a mean-looking vehicle is worthless with dead occupants.

Kind of ugly, and comes from the factory with bullet holes in the doors.

Cost nearly twice as much as the Humvee (uparmored)

If they want a freaking armored car, why don’t they just build an armored car? The Cadillac V-150 Commando might be a good place to start development.

Lots of cool pictures.
When I saw the title, I expected something between a HUMVEE and an MRAP and I wasn’t disappointed.
I want one.
I hope the upgrade includes all the new features that ISIS has been asking for.

The quarter ton jeep wasn’t a bad vehicle. It was simple and easy to work on. It was narrow and could get between trees.
The hummer had good power and had an actual heater in it. You could also sleep in it.

The article ‘sounds’ like it was written by a millennial, very thin on details. But, I suspect details won’t be given out anytime soon.
