The GMV program made changes in the Humvee's chassis and tires to make them more compatible for off-road work. The tires used were more rugged and have a central tire inflation system . Heavy suspension was also included as an upgrade, giving a ground clearance of 16.8 inch / 42.672 cm. There was an increased payload capacity to 2½ tons (unarmored M998 / M1025 GMVs)[source]Ground Mobility Vehicle (USSOCOM) · Design / Improvements; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage
A V8 6.5L turbocharged diesel engine that ran at 190 horse power (142 kW) at 3,400 rpm was installed. Extra fuel tanks were available to improve on the GMV's range. Sometimes multiple M243 smoke grenade launchers are installed.[source]Ground Mobility Vehicle (USSOCOM) · Design / Improvements; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage
An open bed was used for improved storage space and access with a winch for towing other vehicles (up to 4,200 pounds/1,905.088 kg). Armor plating and ballistic glass were also available to better protect the vehicle and its occupants.[source]Ground Mobility Vehicle (USSOCOM) · Design / Improvements; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage
