Even if the volume of one of them is low, I don't see the appeal of having multiple platforms in the same region for the same niche purpose.
Sure, but at the time the US was fighting a 2 front war with strong insurgencies on the other side of the planet and just purchased whatever it could get its hands on to replace humvees. Currently the US is shedding all mraps except for the m-atv and maxxpro. Even the maxxpro will eventually just get replaced by more specialized jltv variants.
Both mraps that the US plans on keeping are smaller/lighter than the ones India is currently inducting. I don't think the US plans on using mraps for conventional conflicts since they just aren't that survivable and only keeps around a fleet in case they get mired in another low intensity conflict. Remaining US mraps will just end up in police/third world army stockpiles, rust away in storage, or get shredded.
We had M4 there in a pic of a meeting? chinese brought this type light movers at that time.
Psychologically doesn't have the same impact on young minds because you can't identify yourself with driving a truck.
A convoy of Humvees look like race cars on a track, a convoy of trucks look like a logistics company carrying cargo.
