i tend to prefer lighter vehicles with higher mobility. the smaller load keeps people from trying to bring everything that isn't welded in place with them on a mission. thus helping make sure they don't antagonize the people they are there to help.
now the open air design is problematic but one would think the project would have the foresight to include a winterization kit for cold climates. failing that one can easily be improvised by cannibalizing a tent, one of the sleep chambers*, and judicious use of duct tape. it would be much less than ideal in an NBC environment but that really is the only thing that would be problematic for use by the project. of course most of the people i play with have enjoyed strange military careers so we tend to gravitate toward unique feildmods to vehicles and equipment to resolve any faults.
