RCAF,

I would probably go for the 4-Runner for maintenance and utility value. One thing that always made me shake my head was how the Humvee was faster than a civilian 3/4-ton truck on the road. Not just the same, but faster. I guess the rationale is that the roads are not perfect and over a 4-hour stretch there will be a certain amount of "off-roading" around detours and obstacles, through shellholes and potholes so the Humvee's greater rough-road mobility tells in the long run, but still.
