شکل برخوردار هستند V که هر دو از بدنه

Explanation:
With reference to the original sentence:

The mine-resistant, ambush-protected all-terrain vehicles -- known as M-ATVs -- are similar to conventional MRAP vehicles, with both touting a V-shaped hull to deflect roadside bombs.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=56099

we could conclude that "tout" here means "feature" or simply "have." A V-shaped hull or a V-hull "is to increase vehicle and crew survivability by deflecting an upward directed blast from a landmine (or Improvised Explosive Device) away from the vehicle, while also presenting a sloped armor face." See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-hull for more info.

touting a v-shaped hull دارای پوشش زیرین (کفه) "وی" شکل می باشد

Explanation:
I think this short text refers to a newly made British battle car which is designed to deflect roadside bombs in Iraq.
According to its shape, it has a v-shaped metal guard in the form of a tray which is attached to its bottom.
So, using بدنه as an equivalent for "hull" doesn't seem suitable, here.
