I wasn't asking about Texas- I was asking about the law that you were referring to. Your link is to someone's summary of the law, not the law itself. I was asking for a direct link to the actual text of the law.

Please provide a link to the law that you are referring to.

The MTVR has a GVWR of 62,200 pounds...

If you don't want air conditioning, you can buy an older (pre '06) truck. But find a nice one. If you want air conditioning, either find a nice '06 or later MTVR, or buy a older one that has had air conditioning installed. There are air conditioning kits, but they are rare and very expensive...

Spend the money up front to buy a nice one. It's a lot less expensive to pay for a nice one, than it would be to resurrect a roach. These things cost about $250,000 new, and certain parts can be expensive, if you can even get them at all. Fluids and filters are easy, but as an example, when I...

One of the really cool things about the MTVR, is that it has a single-speed transfer case (no low range) and a 7-speed automatic trans with an extremely wide gear spread. The transmission's gear spread is so wide, that it normally starts out in second gear, even when the truck is fully-loaded...

...and the MTVR will easily do 65 mph on the highway...

The MTVR also has a 30,000 pound payload capacity- you could put nearly 10,000 pounds in the back of your 20,000-pound M813A1, and then put your fully-loaded M813A1 into the bed of an MTVR, and it still wouldn't be over GVWR...

The MTVR is light-years ahead of the older trucks. The MTVR has long-travel (16") coil-sprung fully-independent suspension, ABS, traction control, 5 lockers, full-time torque-distributing all-wheel-drive, 7-speed heavy-duty double-overdrive automatic transmission, 12-liter (732 cubic inch) CAT...

Yes. No. It is full-time all wheel drive- all three axles. Yes.

There are five lockers- one in each axle, one in the torque-distributing all wheel drive transfer case, and one between the two rear axles. They are controlled automatically by the CTIS computer in the dash, but there is also a momentary over-ride button on the dash that will lock all five of...
