You compare a 2007 product with a product that run through the trials in the early 90's at Fort Brag and was considered to be a one way use vehicle. The Gator is still a good vehicle and many of us would be happy to own one. It still has a good beer carrying performance, especially after the gross weight is higher than before for the 6x4 (close to 1000 kg payload). The 4x2 /4x4 versions have a lac of payload, if you consider a payload of about 200 lbs beside 2 people as such. May be for a meeting a 4x4 HPX Gator is a nice vehicle to look arround and can fulfill most of your needs of transportation during such an event. And their endurance is not to bad; many parts may be out of order and they still run. If the drive train stucks, just clean it with a hight pressure stean cleaner to get the dirt out. Thats it.
I would like to have a 6x4 or a 4x4 Gator, but they are too expensive in Europe (more than double the price the Army pays for them). There is no Army surplus. My friends and I myself are looking since years into the surplus lists: nothing!
