    So these are about $450,000 each. Not terrible for a vehicle that needs to behave like a Toyota pickup *and* resist a roadside bomb. It's a lot cheaper than a PROMBRON. #trucks

    General: I need these soldiers transported safely and reliably over any terrain. Suggestions?
    OshKosh: How about a Big Damn Truck?
    General: That could work. Let's do that.

    Also, I think the starting name will be the "mattvee". What that mutates into is completely unpredictable.
    See examples:
    A-10 Thunderbolt II: Warthog
    B-52 Stratofortress: BUFF
    MV-22 Osprey: Whistling Shitcan of Death #trucks

    @chathamh: Well, there was no way to predict the Warthog thing, but the Whistling Shitcan of Death thing was foreseen long in advance.

    It will be interesting to see what nicknames this thing spawns, though. #trucks

    Cheese, Beer and Brats are the cornerstone to a Good Wisconsin Built Oshkosh truck.

    This was a nice windfall for the Fox Valley area, tons of jobs at Oshkosh and the associate plants that build parts for them. #trucks

    (gun) ring time?

    So what do we call this thing? The HMMV was nice as it could be tweaked into "humm-vee" or the more well known "Hummer." I'm afraid "Emrapatav" doesn't quite have the same sorta ring to it. #trucks

    I think this is actually just an Oshkosh branded version of the Plasan Sand Cat ... an Israeli armoured vehicle based on an F-series Ford platform.


    Plasan make some very cool armoured tech.

    "Sand Cat" doesn't exactly seem like the best name for it. I suggest calling it the "Huge Bitchin' Motherfucker."
