How much of the cost is better materials, though? Reinforced metal, and that sort of thing. Like those Growler wheels look a lot beefier than the Jeep wheels--maybe they can go over crazy terrain better? Or maybe they're not even air-inflated tires, so they can't be shot out? I'm trying to imagine, for example, what happens if a roadside bomb explodes nearby each vehicle? Could the Jeep keep driving? Or would its axle have been torn in half? Maybe the Growler would be out of commission too though, I don't know.
