No more GI Joe trucks: Army swaps iconic Humvee


Recommended Posts

I think the consensus is that Ford just didn’t compete for this contract, which is a damn shame, considering they had a suitable product for it. As a corporation, I would’ve viewed it as a point of pride to have one of my vehicles represented in the US military, but they must not see it the same way.

Ranger SD would have made more sense engineering wise but the price Ford is asking is not intended for US consumption..

Having been tangentially involved with the Feds in a previous life, I can 100% understand why Ford wouldn’t want to be involved with them any more than they have to. Having to give up highly profitable sales to deal with it makes passing on the deal a no-brainer.
