Hmmwv hauling a MKT field Kitchen.

How would a Hmmwv do towing an MKT field kitchen?

What's the weight? Does it has an air brake?

Very badly due to the 5200#'s the MKT weighs. I would get a bigger tow vehicle unless you are just moving it around your property. YMMV!

I use to haul an MKT with a 1993 Ford F-250 and that pushed the truck a little bit. I would think the lightness of the HMMWV might be to much for the MKT. Remember the MKT was designed to be pulled behind a M35a2.

Not good.

Great if you are just mixing the evening meal for the cooks...to light.

Mkt

The M1008 didn't much like hauling it!

Without brakes (meaning a vehicle with air) it's best to put on a trailer. I've towed one with my F250 but it was slooooow going and I never felt comfortable even though at that speed I could stop easily. One I picked up locally and towed home, one I picked up in TexArkana and loaded on my car hauler, and a friend and I picked up 2 in MS using a F350 and equipment trailer. But unless you're going around the block you should have working brakes.

Did you get a gen set with the one in Hooks? I car hauled mine home from there as well!

If its around your area, no biggee...just go slow...Anything else, use a M-35 or bigger.

No but I got one with the unit out of MS. That was actually the deciding factor in bidding on it and the only thing I have left from it.
