The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, built by Oshkosh Corporation, was conceived to augment and eventually replace many Humvee roles with greater payload and protection.
Approved in 2006, the program targeted a balanced mix of mobility, survivability, and versatility. At about $433,539, it suits varied mission profiles.
The JLTV delivers modular mission flexibility and superior crew protection. Armor specifics remain classified but its survivability reputation is strong.
Powered by a 6.6 liter Gale Banks diesel sharing architecture with the GM Duramax platform, it reaches about 70 mph, ranking among the quickest vehicles in its class.
