The price is a tad high, but the idea of driving this baby must have the little weinie dudes drooling all over themselves[;)]

truck/tank
wow, what bug out/zombie vehicle , i didnt see or hear the price
I think he said 300,000 pounds
And this is the one that the company I work for builds
The RG is not an American vehicle, built primarily for African and Brit armies. It's a cheap flimsy vehicle, easily defeated.
The Cougar (trucks I work on now) is 10 times what that RG is and IF it gets blown up the personel inside it 9 times out of 10 walk away. My job for the last few years has been as an MRAP mechanic, I've worked on all varients and have strong opinions on them. When lives are what are at stake, cool looking does not come into play, you want a tough truck, durable and able to take a beating. Sorry but the RG models are at the bottom of the list!
Let the Brits have that junk!
Cummins?
International?
I found that video highly entertaining. Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I require lion-proof windshield wipers and that model won't do.

If you are a company commander, you can "own" a dozen of 'em! [:D][:D]

If I ever win the lottery, I will buy one. LOL
Same truck different skirt. Trust me. [:D]
i would love to trust you, but the front suspension it very different, as well as the differentials, looking up other specs, i have found mechanically they are very different, very different engine combinations as well
rg-31 one is made by general dynamics, the marauder is made by paramount group
i'm not going to argue over a ford vs chevy contest, it looks like they resemble each other very close, so do most mini vans
Lets look at Cougars, there is another varient of the Cougar being built, not by us and to someone not in the MRAP biz it would not appear to be a Cougar,, but it is. I can't give proprietary info but you can search the web for a dog named MRAP and perhaps find it.
How many different MaxPros or Caimans are there, how about the MatV? How many companies are involved in the Buffalo?
See what I'm getting at?
All good harmless chat [:D]
Still when the bombs go off there is only one truck you should be in, CAT 1 A2! HOORAH!!
