      @@michaelramsey82 This is a real problem with the military version too and why they got rid of them as front line vehicles (not that they were ever actually intended to be used in active combat zones, they were supposed to be for shuttling people and things around bases or behind the lines). They have a flat bottom hull so IED's and mines just shred the thing. Many a life has been lost because of this design flaw. It was competing with a vehicle actually designed with a V shaped hull that was far mroe capable of taking a blast. It was also lighter and less wide so it fit into transport aircraft better, but it was made by some small independent company and not GMC who have more... "presuasive" means of getting contracts with the DoD.

      @@toyotacorolla4268 I mean, it wrecked the back bumper and the rear right tire. Imma bet that's going to be over ten grand to fix. Just buying a set of used logging truck tires costs around $10k, a single one of these tires, being super niche and probably custom made will likely be as expensive as that set of used logging truck tires. The bumper could probably be fixed to a workable point with very little money, but if you wanted to replace it so it's back to factory spec, again, custom part will be expensive.
      It probably also damaged or destroyed the rear drive shaft, which again, expensive

      +Eddy Boguslavsky Top Gear, they spend $1.000.000 to review a $300.000 vehicle, they make $3.000.000 in profit, and review other 2 $300.000 vehicle, so they make $ 6.000.000 in profit, and they review other 3 $300.000 vehicle and make $ 9.000.000 in profit and so on. It works!

      Cause its astronomically higher off the ground than a tank, most of the kinetic energy dispersed from the sides.

      Anti tank mines have had 5kg of explosive filler since before WWII. This, in comparison, is just about 3kg. Anti tank mines today use shaped charge effects and other technologies to defeat armor. The crew compartment of the marauder would probably survive an anti tank mine, but the vehicle itself won't.
