In Reply to: Weight Rating of a 2 1/2 ton truck Military? posted by Willy-N on Monday, March 15, 2004 at 7:41PM :
Mark,
The military rated (& tested)these and other trucks in a worse case situation. The 2.5 ton cargo rating was for extreme off road conditions. Usually this was doubled (5 ton in this case) for hiway travel. Often of course the trucks were overloaded and performed exceptionally.
Hope this helps,
