Can't tell. Someone with vehicle stats, help us out.
I would think more along the lines of soil conditions, then anything else. Even the Hummers do the slide with this sugar sand.

The Stryker is notoriously unstable.
It has been restricted to improved road surfaces due to it's propensity to roll.
My favorite from the article: "Heavy rainfall in the area might have been a cause, but the Army is still investigating."
They should investigate the fact that the whistle blowers during it's development were silenced andf the program shoved forward regardless of it's obvious problems.

It's plain old mud, not sugar sand. Heavy rains, slick, sticky mud (yes, it's both at once) and poor roads all play a part. Not to mention that these guys just got in county and haven't adjusted to the terrain.
