What is the JLTV payload range?

• A. 2000-3000 lbs
• B. 4500-6000 lbs
• C. 3500-5100 lbs
• D. 1000-2000 lbs

Answer: (C)

Payload capacity is how much weight a vehicle can carry beyond its own weight, and for the JLTV that amount varies with variant and armor fit. The documented payload range is about 3,500 pounds up to about 5,100 pounds. This span reflects lighter configurations with less armor and heavier configurations with more protection and equipment, giving crews the flexibility to carry personnel, gear, and mission loads without exceeding safe limits. The lower end covers lighter loads, while the upper end represents the higher end of what these vehicles are designed to carry. Other ranges miss the typical JLTV configurations either by being too low to accommodate a reasonable crew and equipment or by exceeding what the vehicle is designed to carry with standard armor packages.
