> You can probably manufacture that thing quite easily from basic sheet metal, when you have limited machinery and labour on another planet.

Not if it's made of stainless steel - stuff is hard to cut and hard to weld (though might be easier in a non-oxygen rich environment like Mars).

For ease of manufacture and maintainability, plus a lot of other "pluses" - I actually like this truck:

Too bad it's unlikely it will be available for purchase in first world countries, if it ever gets to that phase.

The low polygon count actually makes sense if you are machining it on Mars...
