New MTV owner

[Blackmagic94]

Just won a MTV


Question

AZ says a CDL is needed for over 26,000 GCVW, and doesnt say anything about air brakes. So if I have the truck unloaded and have no intent to cargo carry would I be ok without a CDL in AZ?



Do all MTVs have the turret rings or just the cut out to add the ring?


Where can I source the 3rd gunner seat, it was removed, I dont think Eastern sells them

Most states it's the "capacity" not what it actually weighs while you're driving it. As each state has their own guidelines though, it's probably best if you contact someone at the DMV that actually works with commercial vehicles and ask them versus a bunch of guys in different parts of the country that may give you confilicting information.

 

[Blackmagic94]

Well yeah but I have also experience people at DMV not knowing the answer too lol.

I kinda figured it was max load which sucks but whatever I guess.


What about the turret info?

 

[NDT]

All FMTVs just have the cut out for the M66 ring.

Not used on HMMWV. Post a want ad here, the rings are heavy and expensive.

 

[Blackmagic94]

Ok cool, i wont know till I get it if it has one equiped on it since there were no pics of the roof to show.


So I need a M66 ring, the tringualar mount thing, then a pintle and a T&E right?

You don't have to have a T&E for a vehicle mount. Here is a link for the M66 on a MTV, it says you can only mount a weapon system, if you want the gunner protection it requires another kit.

FMTV = Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (The entire series of trucks)
LMTV = Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (2-1/2 Ton, 2 axles)
MTV = Medium Tactical Vehicle (5 Ton, 3 axles)

Just in case this is the clarification required for this statement -

MTV (Army 5 Ton) is not the same thing as MTVR (USMC 7 Ton)

(All this military vehicle jazz is confusing)
