  What is the role of the Mercedes jeeps vs the curent Landrover in SAF inventory?
  
  What units use the Mercedes Jeeps anyway?
  
  The Mercs have a weapon mount whereas the Landrovers are mostly just utility or signals vehicles, right?
  
  Amd I hear the Mercs have a reputation for turning turtle?
  
  Anyone know about Ford civilian 4-wheel drives? Any good? Why would SAF pick Ford? Because they are American?
  
  Every year at the Dakar Rally, the most grueling 4-wheel drive race, Japanese brands like Mitsubishi seems to win every year with VW Touareg also doing very well.
  
  But Ford... ?

  Well...still think that LSV's purpose is for high mobility strike capability over the Scout jeep.

  If they take ford i will be highly highly disappointed.
  
  Fords are so famous for transmission reliability.
  
  About the Ssangyong replacement, I heard they are trying to shelve it.. since they found some issues about it and can't seem to resolve it.
