US military replaces Humvee with JLTV [w/video]

The US military has replaced the famous Humvee with an all-new vehicle.

It’s called the Oshkosh JLTV and it’s not powered by a unique truck engine, but rather a powertrain that comes straight out of one of GM’s production vehicles.

It’s the 6,6-litre Duramax engine from the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, but it will be tuned to provide more power to compensate for the JLTV’s extra weight.

You can see this impressive vehicle in action in the video below.
