Unicat response
For the record, this MXT based Unicat was built on the military version which is rated at 23,500. In addition, Unicat sleeved the chassis and added rear air suspension. Without doubt, Unicats are the finest built expedition-grade vehicles on the planet. Look at the whole or at each component and the differences with the competition are obvious and significant. Their design goals are quality, function, safety, reliability, and comfort. Price is secondary and appearance is relegated to "form following function".
It's true that GXV prices are lower and without disparaging Mike or his products, it's also true that Chevy costs a lot less than Mercedes.
This particular vehicle was intended for use as a demo but International pulled the rug from under us. My father ended up purchasing the vehicle but can't use it due to serious medical problems. Our misfortunes with this vehicle will enable someone to end up with a phenomenal deal.
As for comments about the vehicle's comfort and travel-worthiness, my wife and I traveled with it through Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. We found it to be extremely comfortable to live and travel in, both on and off road.
