I think so too, but could be wrong.

Do you guys remember the MILCOT program (Militarized Commercial Off-The-Shelf) that was authorized sometime ago? It was basically supposed to be commercial products that had a bit more ruggedness for military applications -- but mostly to be used around the bases, etc as transpor. The idea was to expand beyond using "jeeps" for the base.

Chevy had a version nicknamed the "Milverado" for awhile. Not sure if it's still in production or if the Miltary still does this. There were even "militarized" versions of the Pacifica and Ram that were used around bases as transport. They were better on gas than some of the other vehicles used around bases and cheaper to run. I don't think that any were really used in combat zone, but just in domestic/secure areas....
