Strange Bed on LMTV

[expeditionnw]

Anybody seen a box like the single axle LMTV has in this video?

Sides look fixed, and taillights are mounted in box. Have a similar plan.

Split tailgate is kind of interesting. Not sure I like it but it is different.

I believe that's just a transport strap. Still looks to be a solid tailgate.

Yep on closer look I can see it's a strap and not a gap. My mistake.

About the same design as the 2001 and 2002 M1082 trailers I have.

Have a split gate on my truck. It's different but nice and easy to install.

It looks like the sides still drop for loading. It was hard to tell in the video, but I can't imagine them going back to a fixed side. Most of the payload for these trucks is either palletized or designed in it's own machine-loadable container.

Sides fold same as the older trucks. Just a new bed with no slop so it all sits tight.

I was out back and recalled this thread about odd beds and 'gates' on our trucks. Snapped a few pics of my truck with her barn doors and step.
