I don't know either.

Clearly, military specification stuff is supposed to be tougher, and that will increase the price. This just seems excessive. The article says that this is not meant to offer any protection at all for the passengers. No armor. The version that tows the trailer has to be strong enough to tow the trailer, but that version also costs over a million dollars. 5 times more than the expensive model pictured above. The vehicle pictured is just supposed to be basic transportation, just like a jeep. But it fits in an Osprey.

Seems like you could outfit a $20K Jeep with some lowrider air shocks all for under $25K.
