It’s a truck. Can it really be that complicated??
Hey, this is a DOD procurement! If it's simple, they are guaranteed to MAKE it complicated. We're a far cry from the old days of simple...
In the hands of a comittee, yes, it can.
Key word: tactical. As in needing to operate close to the front lines.
It’s a truck that has to be able to travel on dirt without getting stuck in mud, be able to button up to operate in toxic chemical/biological environment, be armored against small arms fire and shell fragments, etc

I worked on a M1075 PLS a lot for an anti IED program. It was simple in some ways and crazy complex in others. The main thing was that everything about it was huge.
