Kirk's modified JLVT is a demilitarized version, offering only the increased durability of the traditional JLVT. Despite being demilitarized, the mount for where the turret would normally be is still there, as well as the lack of radar and other military technologies. Inside are a group of his old buddies, 5 in total. Due to their insistence on personal space, Kirk can't seem to fit any more passengers, but its nice talking to his friends again.
The L-ATV is based around Oshkosh's TAK-4i (i = intelligent) independent suspension system. Vehicles fitted with an earlier version of the system, include the Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR), Oshkosh Logistic Vehicle System Replacement, and Oshkosh MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV); the TAK-4 system has also been retro-fitted to the Force Protection Inc Cougar and BAE Systems RG-33 MRAPs. The majority of systems supplied pre-JLTV have been coil-sprung. The TAK-4i version fitted to the L-ATV remains undisclosed, but is not coil-sprung and is of the variable adjustable ride-height type with up to 20 inches (51 cm) of wheel travel, 25 percent more than the current standard.
Motive power is provided by a digitally-controlled Gale Banks Engineering 866T V8 turbodiesel, based on the architecture of the General Motors Duramax L5P. Power output is 400 hp (298 kW; 406 PS) and 850 lb⋅ft (1,152 N⋅m) of torque. In commercial use, power output of the standard Duramax L5P engine is currently up to 445 hp (332 kW; 451 PS) and 910 lb⋅ft (1,234 N⋅m). An Allison 2500SP six-speed fully automatic transmission is fitted to all JLTV. The L-ATV can be fitted with the Oshkosh ProPulse diesel-electric powertrain, previously fitted to the Oshkosh Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) and MTVR. According to Oshkosh literature, the ProPulse diesel-electric powertrain dramatically improves fuel economy by up to 35 percent in certain circumstances and serves as an on-board generator with enough output to power an entire airfield or hospital, generating up to 120 kW of AC power for external operations; the hybrid powertrain was not a requirement of the JLTV program. A hybrid electric JLTV was unveiled in January 2022, this fitted with a lithium-ion battery pack.
