*makes a note to look at the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) and upgraded Cougar MRAP's she's added to the USMC OOB*

Thanks!

Humm...I'd say even if the MTVR is an upgrade of the 5-ton truck it's probable the number of troops carried wouldn't change. That's more a matter of cargo bed size then load capacity. Probably has better cross-country mobility tho..."ATV wheeled" rather then "wheeled".
