PLS features a long-term armour strategy (LTAS) compliant cab, a 600hp engine and a six-speed transmission.
The vehicle also uses TAK-4 independent suspension on the front axle positions for greater off-road mobility and enhanced protection in harsh terrain.
Under the family of heavy tactical vehicles (FHTV) contract, the US Army has ordered 725 PLS vehicles, according to Brahmand.
