I like the fact it has dual-circuit brakes the most. Otherwise I wouldn't mind an air force A2. I miss driving a manual transmission!

I would love to have a multifuel in my life at some point! I'd love to have an M35A2 as a truck show companion for my A3 and as a place to dump WMO in!

You could use M35A2 bearings on an M35A3, but you wouldn't be able to use the CTIS then. That's what makes the A3 bearings special. I'm not concerned about spare parts being hard to find as the A3 still has a ton of parts in common with the A2. I'm only concerned about cost of said parts...

The MLVW predates the M35A3 by about 10 years, and seemed to address the same improvements the DoD wanted. I think the only thing it doesn't have that the M35A3 has is CTIS.

I considered a MLVW myself and came to the same conclusion. Bombardier seemed to cheap out on the steel used in the trucks. I think they even had a recall regarding the rear axle suspension assemblies corroding to pieces!

Totally true! The M35A3s all came with cab heaters with windshield defrost dampers. That's not to say you can't install some kind of heater kit in an A2 or just get one of those 12V ceramic space heaters to wire into your truck. OP, have you considered a LMTV? I'm not entirely sure how much...

If you want a deuce with an automatic like your M928A1 along with super singles, dual-circuit brakes, and air-assisted steering, an M35A3 comes with all of that stuff installed from the factory instead of you having to mess with installing all of that stuff yourself. I guess it depends on how...

Having recently bought an M35A3 myself, I started looking at it like any other potential car purchase. The main stipulation my wife gave me was that she had to be able to take a ride in it the day I brought it home. So I was looking for a truck that could start, stop, drive, and pass a vehicle...
