Looks like the new trucks the Canadian army is started using to replace the MLVW. The ones with the roof baskets in the video with the green 383 CARC look the same.

holy cow 36' long. looks longer then that. wonder how long that bed is?

 

[wreckerman893]

I.....can't......have.......nothin!!!!!!!!!

 

[skysix]

would hate to have to drive that offroad - breakover and turning radius SUCK

Looks cool! M814 is 33' long so 36' is doable.

Can someone tell me why a truck manufacturer would release promo pics and videos showing many of their trucks equipped with front tow bars? Although that seems practical, wouldn't it be better to show them stowed for use in towing other vehicles instead of representing that all these trucks are going to need to be towed sometime soon? Is it just me?

Requirement is to have the towbar in place upon delivery in the field. Makes it faster to deploy if the vehicle is damaged - swing the towbar down, hook to tow vehicle, and go. Less time in an active firefight zone the better!

COOL ! ! !

And it only takes 1/3 of a Football Field to get it turned around!

I'm impressed!

M1075, it's just you. I have seen pics and vids recently of our folks in afghanistan with the latest MRAP vehicles from Oshkosh with the towbar installed, ready to go. I would guess it is for when a perfectly good vehicle gets shot up or partially blowed up, the others can grab it and take it back to base. Doesn't Navistar have enuf biz selling school buses and delivery trucks?! geez! share the wealth dudes. : )

Looks Cool, the new version of the Land Train!

That is a big cab

I guess the troops now are riding in the air conditioned cab with the stereo cranked

 

[silverstate55]

I like the IFS/IRS on the MXD models...bet those ride pretty awesome off-road!!

Mehhh.......Looks like a school buss with big tires but will cost you and me 10 times what it's worth and I'll bet you a year from now a scandal or the vehicle won't be allowed into combat ops or the something else will be screwed up.
