The current versions of the Humvee are being “unarmored” and they are putting tons of armor on them. however they were not designed to handle the enormous amount of weight when all this new cladding is attached to them. Secondly no matter how strong and great the Humvee is it also isnt designed to handle many of the IED threats that the warriors now face. So parts break, warriors are put at risk and the vehicle isnt near as efficient as it used to be We lose a lot of good warriors because of this. So yes it costs a lot to make a totally new piece of gear. If you was placed in harms way you would want the absolute best gear you could get for you and your buddies. I have been there and done that and let me tell you the Buffalo and others like it put the Humvee to shame in troop survivability

Call me a romantic but I will definitely miss the Humvee. It has really defined the look of our military.
Somehow I feel that these ULTRA ATs look like the marauding Panzerspahwagens of the future. I felt the same way when we switched from the Vietnam ‘pot’ helmet to the modern ‘fritz’ helmet.
I know it’s silly but I do not want the US Army to look any more like Nazis than we already do.

How to move them best? Airships. As described here: http://www.military.com/soldiertech/0,14632,Soldiertech_Walrus„00.html

Many of these new generation Hummvs look like big trucks with stuff added on. Why should this be so expensive. The basic truck gets you a lot of the critical parameters easily. Things like ground clearance away from mines, speed and handling, weight (armour carrying capacity). More armoured trucks, lots more and gun trucks would seem to go a long way toward protecting troups on the road. Why does this stuff have to be so expensive??

Faster into combat?
There has been a revolution in shipping technology. Aluminum ferrys can carry large cargo at extreme speeds using turbine engines. Of course that does not get the cargo to shore, but getting the stuff there fast is the hard part.
Of course this would require the Navy to get off its butt and be a little innovative. I foresee this happening …never
The Army may go with a bigger vehicle, but the Marines are tied to a light force.
