Pickup Truck?

I suppose this officially makes the Hummer Humvee a mid-sized SUV?

It's a 14,500 lbs 4x4. With diesel, people, stuff, and bigger tires, there are probably not too many mud holes it wouldn't just sink to the bottom of. It's not really made for off-roading. I'm not sure what it is made for, come to think of it. Who do you call when get one of these gets stuck?

That reminds me. When I was in my early twenties, I did summer work for an earth moving company. We were working out in the middle of nowhere and an operator got his bulldozer stuck in the mud. There was no way to get the thing unstuck using two other dozers. There was a train track a few hundred feet away. The company hired a locomotive to come pull it out. So the moral is, if you drive a CXT in the mud, make sure a train track is close by.
