Pat Riot Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hmmm…ya mean it ain’t Green? The JLTV is powered by a Duramax V8 turbo-diesel engine coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. https://militaryleak.com/2018/09/20/oshkosh-joint-light-tactical-vehicle-jltv/ I guess the Brits are getting some too https://spotter-up.com/1b-worth-joint-light-tactical-vehicles-uk-purchase-plan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Did the crew compartment separate from the frame? Hope everybody inside was OK. The M113s we used would have had a major problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am here , we were lucky had a few injuries on some of the crew ( I was TC ) so helo'd out that time ( and Part of the reason I later got the Nickname "Wyatt" and yes I think these were sent to me by crew that was sent for recovery .

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 So the Humvee base price is around a quarter million dollars, and the JLTV nearly a hundred grand over that. Perhaps this is a dumb question, but is there anything in the motor pool inventory that's simple, utilitarian, and (relatively) inexpensive... like the good ol' Jeep, or other Jeep-like vehicles?

I believe the biggest improvement is that armor is now standard equipment and not an add on. It also incorporates mine resistant features that the Humvee lacked.

The M113s we used would have had a major problem. That is why in my 11 moths in III Corp VN in 1970-1971 all the M113's had rocket ammo boxes filled with dirt stacked all around their tops.
