It's weird to me that a toyota tank like that only has a 4 cylinder diesel that makes 150 hp/250 ft-lb when it weighs over 4 tons....

And by weird I mean stupid.

I don't know for sure but I think the power numbers aren't bad (assuming H1/Humvee was the target). I think the Mega has 280ft-lbs and weigh almost 500lb less (curb weight). The Hummers, especially the early ones, were saddled with the awesome 6.2L and early 6.5L GM diesels. In the end game I'd bet the performance was pretty similar.

I dont think that was ever made for speed.

for a 4 banger, it's a big engine and cranks out a good amt of torque.

Power figures pretty much in line with a delivery vehicle like a box truck. Not really seeing a problem.

I've been in a few of them. Very much a HMMWV clone. Almost identical dimensions. Very similar overall design with a big transmission tunnel through the entire cabin. The Mega has a very strange suspension design. I've really never seen anything quite like it. But it's basically a version of a double a-arm setup. It makes pretty good use of the portal boxes where arguably the HMMWV squanders most of the ground clearance benefits by the low mounting of the lower control arms.

Interior of the military version at least in the Mega is very spartan - looks a lot like any other basic military interior from the 90's.
