That hummer also weighs in excess of 5000 pounds stock not including the missile system and is designed to have recoil less rockets fired from a top mounted turret. That Toyota truck weighs less, has a weaker chassis, and is in no way designed to have a non professional weld job mounted missile launcher designed for a hind gunship mounted in the bed. The Toyota truck only weighs about 3000 pounds, firing that system on the slightest of inclines would literally roll the truck over.

There is no recoil from a tube-launched rocket. These have no jump-charge, as they were not designed to be operated with humans in range, so it's pure rocket propulsion from the start.
