Remember, with anything military, every single component must meet certain specifications. At what torque will this bolt stip its thread? At what temperature will the tires melt? Can the windscreen wipers clear rain falling at 20mm per hour while driving at 45 mph into a 50 knot headwind? The army wants to know exactly what its gear can do.

All of these specs must first be decided - what temp the tires must be able to handle. Then the tires have to developed and manufactured to be able to handle it. Then they need to be tested and certified. The certifying company needs to be licenced. Security checks must be done on the staff involved. Etc etc etc. I'd say that the jeep as pictured costs about 50K, as per Glatt's guess, and the other 150K is for the paperwork.

I'm still trying to work that up to a million for the trailer version though. I can only guess a very small production run might contribute, but still....
