What puzzles me is how anyone can confuse a $450,000 2 1/2 ton truck that is 20.51 ft long, 8.20 ft wide, 8.53 ft high and weighs 19,842 lbs with a "LIGHT Tactical Vehicle".

You should see their heavy one! I think they mean light because of its minimal carrying capacity not physical specifications.

Exactly - In Iraq, we had a few RG-33 MRAPs...we used to call them the school bus. The engineers who did RCP for us had their Buffaloes, which were similar in size. I forgot the weight of the RG-33, but I do recall on a night op, the road collapsed underneath the weight of the RG-33. I had to use a wrecker, and an IMG MaxxPro (to anchor the wrecker) to get it unstuck. Good times in Iraq.

"Light" would be the same carrying capacity as what used to be known as the "Jeep" (since replaced by the HMMWV [and to be replaced by the JLTV])
"Medium" would be the same carrying capacity as what used to be known as the "Five Quad" (roughly a 1.25 ton capacity pickup truck).

The JLTV has a similar carrying capacity to the HMMWV, it's just heavily armored. Still 5 guys and paltry rear storage.
