I tooled around in one here a few weeks back...
As i see it, it offers NOTHING on the standard MRAP, which, frankly I already saw as a liability more than an asset. The newest permutation of this "miracle" vehicle is about the size of an F-350... on steroids, lifted on 46" tires, and not easily entranced or exited.
MRAPs force us to think in terms of roads as our only avenue of approach or conveyance. They simply aren't maneuverable or agile enough to negotiate off the roads here in Afghan farmland, much less drive up the spine of a ridge or finger and dominate the high ground. No matter how "light" you make an MRAP, it is still channelizing you into using roads... maybe smaller roads, but roads nonetheless.
The insurgent don't even have to work to blow up MRAPs anymore... they lay in IED's on MSR's months in advance and just wait for the right moment to tie-in and initiate. For the most part, CF don't dismount and check culverts and irregularities during their patrols because it's far too difficult to dismount every 40-100m to check for bombs, and if they simply dismount the entire movement (as many do at this point) the insurgents rig up effective AP directional devices in the vicinity of the MSR. The ATV-MRAP is MORE difficult to dismount from, and will encourage even less Situational Awareness on the part of the TC.
I'm not a fan, but I think the entire Army should be on ATV's and dirt bikes.
