I reverted this one-off edit as it was unexplained and uncited. I Googled before I reverted and can find no real evidence this term is generally used. In fact, Google delivered just 7 results, 2 of those from Wikipedia! As time progresses the term may become used (or may not), but for now, I suggest it is purely speculative (and gimmicky) and in use by the odd person, so not really suited for inclusion. I suspect there will be a Wiki policy that covers this type of thing, but that's for those more versed in Wiki than I should this topic ever become a more in-depth conversation...Wolpat (talk) 10:04, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

deal isn't officially through yet obviously, so this is FYI to keep an eye on it: https://www.dsca.mil/press-media/major-arms-sales/slovakia-m1278a1a2-heavy-gun-carriers-joint-light-tactical-vehicles --91.41.33.123 (talk) 23:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oshkosh L-ATV → Joint Light Tactical Vehicle
• Joint Light Tactical Vehicle → Joint Light Tactical Vehicle competition

– There are basically two extremely similar articles about the JLTV. Actually three. Joint Light Tactical Vehicle resembles an article about the development program, while Oshkosh L-ATV is about the JLTV selected for production. There is enough content for two articles, but I would guess that most people searching for "JLTV" would expect to find an article about the production vehicle than the competition that produced it.

Background: "L-ATV" was the marketing name for the truck originally designed by Oshkosh for the JLTV program, which Oshkosh won in 2015. Presumably Oshkosh did not wish to tie the vehicle's success to the JLTV program, and so branded it as Each branch of the U.S. military calls it the "JLTV". Oshkosh usually refers to the L-ATV as the JLTV, although very occasionally Oshkosh will market a variant of the JLTV as an L-ATV on their own initiative. Here is a press release where Oshkosh announces the sale of "JLTVs", not "L-ATVs", to European countries. AM General will take over production of the JLTV from Oshkosh at the end of the year. They will be calling their version the JLTV A2.

If this move is carried out there should be a section about the competition with a pointer to Joint Light Tactical Vehicle competition. Schierbecker (talk) 02:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Bensci54 (talk) 16:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support first but propose Joint Light Tactical Vehicle → Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program - per the lead sentence of the article. News searches post 2017 put Joint Light Tactical Vehicle ahead of Oshkosh L-ATV by about 2:1. Cinderella157 (talk) 00:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
