ICR believes that the strata, the layers of rock in the Grand Canyon, were primarily formed during Noahâs flood perhaps only five thousand years ago. Most geologists, including Christian old-earth creationists, believe that the strata were laid down over hundreds of millions of years. What better way, then, to equip myself for the study of the earthâs age, than to spend nine days around the Grand Canyon (six of them in it) with ICR geologists, physicists, and biologists.
The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the M998 HMMWV is 7,700lb with a curb weight of 5,200lb. At maximum payload of 2,500lb the vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 65mph. It has seating options of 1+1 or 2+2 based on the configuration. It uses a 12V/24V electrical system and has a fuel tank with a capacity of 95l.
A few facts to keep in mind: 1  GVWR does not reflect an auto's actual weight -- it's a limit. 2  Actual weight is referred to as the gross vehicle weight or GVW, and it changes every time you put something into the auto or take something out of it, from passengers to luggage. Towing a trailer increases the GVW by the amount of weight that's attached to the hitch, not by the entire weight of the trailer. An auto's GVWR never changes. Be Sure to Consider the Truck's Axle Rating to Make Sure Weight is Distributed. In addition to the total gross vehicle weight rating, you must also consider the per axle rating. Let's say your pickup truck weighs 5,000 pounds and has a GVWR of 7,000 pounds. That means you can add 2,000 pounds of people (and other cargo). But that extra 2,000 pounds needs to be somewhat distributed.
