The Marine Corps LAV-25 is an eight-wheeled, light armor vehicle that projects power through its turret-mounted 25mm M242 Bushmaster. Originally built by General Dynamics back in the mid-'80s, the eight-wheeled LAV series of vehicles have been upgraded several times to best serve its current role of all-weather, all-terrain strategic and tactical mobility. They can be delivered anywhere in the world by ships, military cargo planes, as well as moved by CH-53E helicopters. Each LAV is powered by a two-stroke 318ci Detroit Diesel 6V53T V-6 with 225 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, backed by a five-speed Allison MT653DR transmission. Depending on variant, it can reach speeds of nearly 70 mph on hard surfaces or just over 6 mph in nonsurf bodies of water, such as lakes or streams. A maximum range of just over 400 miles is capable with its 71 gallons of JP-8 diesel fuel-not bad for a 28,000-pound vehicle.
