Oshkosh L-ATV

The L-ATV is a light tactical combat vehicle that is more agile and maneuverable than the M-ATV. The armored vehicle is powered by a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engine, similar to the one found in a General Motors pickup truck. The vehicle can reach a top speed of 70 miles per hour, which isn’t bad for a military vehicle. It’s also mine-resistant, just like its bigger brother. The Oshkosh L-ATV now costs around $450,000 to build, less than most vehicles on this list.

The vehicle’s maximum range is 430 miles (700 km). Customers can choose between two Marauder models: 4×4 or 6×6.
