PNichols, the Humvee was a failure as an Off Road Vehicle and a Military Vehicle. That is why the US army has replaced or is tbe process of replacing it.
That is not a Humvee, it is a one of the Vehicles being considered as a replacement for it.
These replaced the Humvee in Afghanistan and Iraq. Originally developed in South Africa.

Outside of a completely different vehicle to what I drove, I find that hard to believe, You E450 is as much Off Road from your own photos as that Class A pulling a small Trailer.
That yellow HumVee in Robert's photo has straight-through axles - don't know where that came from - maybe an alternate (and less expensive) military configuration. The black HumVee has the high-clearance drive configuratio

Ours does not drive like a long length, heavy, rental Tioga probably does - ours has a tight, compact, well-braked feel when going level, up, or down - in winds or not. The E450's thicker steel frame also will reduce longitunal torsion twisting of the frame on rutted roads if the Class C coach above it is a small one. This helps keep the coach from being subjected to floor deformation when on uneven surfaces over what the E350 would provide.
