Hi Ryan, I remember your enquiry on the CMP mailing list. The C60X's nominal payload is 3 tons, but I think on surfaced roads it will be able to carry more. (For example, the American GMC CCKW-353 was rated as a 2.5-ton truck cross country truck. For use on highways, it was rated as a 5-ton truck.) As for towing: the comparable C60L, with full load, had a recommended maximum gross laden trailer weight of 6 tons for normal roads, 4 tons for hilly roads and 3 tons cross country. Maybe the best comparison for its capabilities is a GMC CCKW-353 2.5-ton truck, as the C60X has the same 270 cu.in engine. I'd stick to that M813A1 5-Ton 6x6 truck for haulage, and steal the show with the armoured car!
HTH,
