Both verions of PRC HMMVs are partial made with US parts -

en.wikipedia.org

I expect some of that will be phased out, and DF or SAC will supply some parts to the US.

The GM versions - H2 and H3 - are reworked Chevy trucks - they have low hanging center differentials, and do not have the tire inflation system. Not anywhere as good as any of the other vehicles on your page.

The Shenyang Aircraft Company version has an Aluminum body, making it much lighter - that would be great for export for civilian use.

****************

All these vehicles are uncomfortable, bouncy, slow, hard to get in and out of, hard to park even in big parking lots, etc. Even the softer GM H2's seem to be worse than the other truck frame based SUVs. They are also noisy.

Unless you really need to go on really bad roads or offroad, try to avoid. If you are not a geologist, or in search and rescue, why bother ?
