Our surplus HMMWV works great. If it wasn't for the maintenance on those I'd totally be all for it. The tanker is a bit big for the rural setting imo, weigh limits and all. Strange light setup on the LMTV.....

Sparky might have a point on the HEMMT at about 33 tons GVWR but it's pretty nimble off-road with ground pressure rated at 58 psi loaded. But, with 24-inch ground clearance, it'll go just about anywhere off-road if regular road and bridge load limits are high enough for it to get there.

I gotta say, they look pretty sharp in their red paint.

Nice trucks. Lots of water. But can they pump? Hahaha.

(I mean, I see the pumps, but can they match a purpose-built apparatus?)
 
Well ... If you want to go hunting ... and your dog died last night ... you either don't go hunting or you take the cat!!! Not everyone has a multi million dollar department budget. You sometimes have to just "make do" or do without.
