MTVR's Up For Sale on Govplanet

[Steelreaper80]

Hey all,

Just got an email from Govplanet. MTVR's are coming up for sale on March 20th. 5 or 6 of them. I wanted to let anyone know if they were interested.

On a side note what do people think of them. They were coming in on rail when I was leaving Camp Lejune for the last time so they were brand spanking new when I got out. I personally have no experience with them. I know they look good and have a CAT C-12 but I have never been in one. How would they compare to an M923A2? Thoughts?

I’ve owned 3 M939 series trucks and I loved them. When I was in the corps I drove the MTVR some in addition to an old deuce, and the MTVR is absolutely amazing in my opinion. I’ve already pre-bid on some of these but have been outbid so far.

They’re very quick and powerful as well as very capable off road (although I have done very little off road personally in the MtVR). The trucks feel like a whole generation newer, which they are.

When I was getting the 7-ton license (in Iraq) to drive the MRVR, I remember the instructor telling us that if we had to abandon the vehicle there was a procedure to disable it so it didn’t fall into enemy hands.

A few other things I remember: they have an allison tranny with a push-button selector, a 3-stage Jake brake, and a recommended water forging depth of 60 inches. Also there are different all wheel drive modes and push button differential lockers. The independent suspension is a big advantage for increased ground clearance. I also remember that they would kill a Humvee in a drag race.
