According to another RCMP article, the trucks were built by Navistar Defense Canada, so not really sure why they list pounds, except that is what people understand.
I had the metric training back in grade 8, and the teachers extolled all the virtues of the system. So why am I still having to convert kmh to mph. And why do we understand mpg rather than lp100km for consumption?
Since highway speeds are generally around 60mph, and there are 60 minutes in an hour, it makes it easy to figure out how long until we get there.
