Interesting, vidio, alot can be liked and disliked, as for driving, anyone that would take an M series for a long mission over these is a hard headed old timer for sure, No soldiers that drive em here would take an M35 out over an FMTV vehicle, as for the mechanics, I hear many opinions, I just asked last week at a big repair facility here, all the old timers and My friends hate em, almost every on the ball young guy laughed and said , naw they are easy when U know how, I put my money on the future in battle not the past, these trucks will have a short life span due to electronics, so far they are still under warenty, when that runs out if they are still a problem they will go, but they are the begining of the new types of vehicles that are the future, and I have driven them they are very very powerful and so darn easy to drive, there is absoulutly NO soldiers that will ever work on there truck, in the field, they are towed or burned in combat, any vehicle in theater that has AC down is DEAD LINED today, so using an antique is out of the question, that is fact.Now we do have the best vehicles in the world bar none, even these.No vehicle can do it all, and anyone can pick out one thing and say, see it cant do that, thats silly, just like the comment of the cab lifting electicaly, one needs to add In my OPINION that looks like it would not work, because in reality the cab can be hand cranked so easy its silly, and as for working on them everything is under the cab when lifted, U can start it right there with on board stuff, Like a Mil young mechamic said to me the last time, these are easy trucks to work on, it just depends on who that is, That is info from a facility here, most mechanics do not like em, most mechanics are older, most drivers love em ,most drivers are younger.
