no idea re Russian large(ish) trucks
but from what I've seen a real Humvee is top notch (not the fake ones that GM put out later on)
people say the Pinzgauer is also xlnt; better than a Syncro VW Vanagon, but not as good on the hwy
typically, an owner will drive many miles on the hwy - maybe thousands, and then take the vehicle off road -- that means you want some compromise
the other issue is load capacity - it's one thing to get yourself somewhere on a dirt bike; another thing to carry 2 weeks camping supplies (Jeep) and something else entirely to be able to camp inside the vehicle itself (VW Westphalia or a tent platform on top of a Lan Drover)
eventually you get to off-road limits for anything with wheels, and need a tracked vehicle; after that you'll want to fly in...
