  1.  @zio205iq2  Engines are replaceable, people aren't. Believe it or not the US Army knows a bit more about what is needed in their trucks than you do. If you want a vehicle that can carry troops and take heavy fire, you get an APC. Making the light vehicle into an APC makes it no longer a light vehicle. It isn't supposed to have an armoured powerplant, it's supposed to keep the people inside alive and drive them and some stuff around.

  2. Less rollable than the MATV they're based on. Or rather that inspired them. All mine resistant vehicles are going to be top heavier though. Same with high clearance off road vehicles. You want lots of armor off the ground so it's always a trade off between width, armor and ground clearance. The suspension handles the height pretty well for all that height and weight though.
