Is that because of their size, expense, licensing requirements, or what? They really are a bunch of fun, and they can pull 4-5 jeeps at a time from any mudhole they might get stuck in. They just don't seem popular, but it isn't evident why.

I've noticed the same thing. sigh. I've got an m54 (5-ton), and I
haven't seen much interest either. Surprisingly, because they are
relatively cheap... Insurance was a problem, plus (in california) you
need a special license to even drive the damn thing...

I love my truck anyway!
