The engine is 3/4 of a 6.0 liter Powerstroke. I can't decide which is a worse idea, the GM 6.5 or a chopped Powerstroke. Can't get far off road if the engine won't run.

That's one ugly truck. I wonder if their new engine is any better than the 6.0 joke they sold F*rd? When I took a second look at the details, why use an MDT platform with a light-duty engine?

The cab on the consumer version looks just like the one on my '63 IH dump truck, ugly. The military version sure looks nice though.

You've got to be kidding. While I really don't care for H1s, they at least have better ground clearance. Try and take it anywhere tougher than a fire trail, and you'll be dragging or scrapping something the whole way.

They are way too wide for some of the fire trails I've been on and if you should meet someone on the trail lots'o'luck trying to back one of those down.

I prefer the Unimog. Another fine product by Daimler. Btw, the Unimog is built as a wildland firefighting unit. We had them in Wyoming and Montana.

Now the Unimog is a cool replacement for the H1. But nothing would compare to the Jeep Rescue with the Cummins 600

Unfortunately, the Rescue is still on the drawing boards.

The Unimog has been here for quite sometime.
