Does that mean they push them out with a parachute?

Well, I guess that's one way to conduct a crash-test....

a rolling chassis and a fab shop with some pipe benders and they could replicate this for well under their ridiculous pricing. Its nothing special TBH. Look at it....like really look at it.

We cry over a 3K price increase on our rangers. This doesnt even offer you air conditioning and a leak proof interior.

Well, with the squared off wheel wells you know they went with Chevy ?

It's a under handed way that the White House and the UAW can repay GM for helping elect Ole Joe

Basic requirements, which don't come cheap. Plus all the other mission specific and survivability requirements (fuel tank, for example) that don't come cheap. The helo and airdrop requirements are expensive add-ons... it ain't just a fancy 4wd .

The Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) is a new, lightweight, all-terrain troop carrier designed to modernize Army Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs). It is based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 architecture, deriving 90% of its parts from commercial-off-the-shelf components.


ISV’s basic operational capabilities include:

• Nine-man squad carrying capability
• Payload of 3,200 pounds
• External sling load by a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter
• Internal load/external lift by CH-47 Chinook helicopter
• Low-velocity air drop by fixed-wing C-130 or C-17 transport aircraft
• Exceptional mobility over all terrains

I notice that this thing does not have any flat space. So all is fine and dandy until Randy takes bullet in the gut and can't be moved with the vehicle. Can't leave the buddy behind and can't move him with the car, total loss of combat effectiveness for the unit.
