Yes they're wide, and heavy, though no more than a modern diesel 2500. I guess I like the technical aspects of portal axles, great ground clearance with a pretty low ride height. Great deep water capability with the fording kit. I forget if the Civ. version has CTIS of not.

Granted, for 100K, you could build a much more capable vehicle.
