Best Army Truck

Can you people help me with some research I am doing?

Which do you think is the best (including value for money) range of Military Trucks available for a rapid reaction force?

The German MAN trucks?

The US FMTV and HEMMT trucks?

Unimogs?

Any site info, PDF, image or video links would be appreciated.

I am especially concerned with European Technology...

Anyone in service actualy used any of these?

What about the vehicle that's being updated by United Defense? (M118 is it? It's called the Hercules) It is used as a troop transport and as a mobile hospital.

Come on, SOMEONE must have European Truck links...

The unimog is too light and the early Hemmt trucks could get stuck very easily because their torque converter stall speed was set to low.

any truck is fine as long as it runs and carries a lot of stuff you dont need anything new and do you want european trucks or just an army truck?

Westpoint, I thought every U.S. Army base only had 1 truck per base. At the top of a flag pole in the center of the base. oh wait, *vehicles* not trucks
