| Miscellaneous Info: | The MaxxPro is based on the
Navistar International Model 7000 truck chassis. The vehicle is
classified as a Category 1 (MRUV) Mine Resistant Utility Vehicle MRAP.
Category 1 MRAP's are the smallest vehicles (by weight and size) of the
3 classes of MRAP vehicles. MaxxPro Plus vehicles sport more armor than
the MaxxPro vehicles and are thusly heavier. An easy way to
differentiate between the two variants is the "Plus" vehicles have dual
rear wheels, whereas the "normal" MaxxPro do not. Both variants have been upgraded with passive applique' armor to help defeat IED attacks. The regular MaxxPro vehicles with that upgrade are called MEAP's, which stands for "MRAP Expedient Armor Program", which is the program that developed the passive applique' packages. Strangely, it doesn't seem like any of the other MRAP vehicles (RG-33L, Caiman, etc) that sport that armor package are called MEAP's though. They are referred to "Plus" variants. |
