New Generation CUCV?

[Recovry4x4]

Just spied this here at Port Everglades. We are in the closing hours of fleet week and some odd stuff is popping up. This one was by far the most unique. This is not a test vehicle but an actual issued vehicle. Sorry, couldn't do much more for pics, I'm here in a professional capacity.

cool, notice the signs on the fence behind it?

 

[Westech]

yeah there was a wright up on the new ones.. D-max diesel.. 4 inch lift.. dual opt batts, ac all the good stuff. I know my unit will get them when they go to scrap in 20 years..

Any idea on the wheels? They look like bolt together rims.

 

[spentshell]

Cool, I like it. Wonder if there running 24 volts on anything.

 

[BillF]

That is a nice truck.

Hmm. Haven't seen anything like that rolling around Detriot lately... Saw lots of trucks from the old program, based off the last gen Silverado. It was termed "Enhanced Mobility Package". You'll find some manuals if you do a web search, but not much else.

On the EMP trucks, the wheels were two piece Hutchinson's with a runflat insert that also was a beadlock. Heavy as heck, but solid.

I think some of the trucks had CTIS too, but I don't think that went far. They had cool HD bumpers front and rear, about 4" of lift, 33's, hydraulic jounce bumpers, and some extra electronics, but were otherwise stock crew cab shortbox duramax trucks.

I think Canada bought some slightly more civilian versions to replace whatever they had for cucv's... No lift, just bumpers and paint and some electronics. Some may have gone to border patrol too, for use in the desert states.
That's about all I know...

Wouldn't happen to be USS Ashland to the right ?

There is a ford, chevy, and dodge version. Check out this "Diesel Power" article for pics and info.

We have some stuff similar to that rolling around FT Lewis, WA

As a matter of fact it is the Ashland! Good eyes! Fleet Week should have been referred to as Fleet Weak this year. Ship turnout was poor. We had a Canadian oiler, HMCS Preserver, a Coast Guard Cutter USCGC Tahoma , the USS Ashland, LSD, the USS Forrest Sherman Guided Missle Destroyer and the USS Toledo nuclear sub. Previous years turnouts were much better.

When you have done time on it, it's easier to spot. We even had the opportunity when the hurricane hit Homestead to do some swimming inside the ship near Eluthera while rebuilding various structures there. Afterwards there was no swimming once we left to go to Miami for help rebuilding a high school near Homestead.

I have one of the EMP Chevys that was a BorderPatrol truck. should paint it OD but?..... Hey Kenny,did you see any stencil marks one the doors of that new truck so GL knows where to smash it with a fork lift? That is a cool truck.

 

[Recovry4x4]

LOL, it wasn't stenciled for damage yet. I think GL does those stencils in that deep penetrating chalk.

Me and my wife saw one at costco the other day. I was going to snap a pic but i didn't want to bother the guys in it.

 

[lavarok]

I saw one in Palm Bay, Fl about 11 months back pulling some type of communication trailer.

Here are 2 pics of what we replaced the CUCV with. They are called MILCOTTS ...Military Commercial Off The Shelf. We've been using them for about 4 years. They're based on the Silverado chassis

I have seen some really cool LSSV's here in Norfolk. The SpecWar trucks have the blacked out tail light covers and other cool stuff on them.

 

[cjtroutt]

Very cool to see them thank you.

I have those wheels.
2 piece hutchinson wheels with double beed lock, no runflat.

they are heavy duty but a pain in the a$$ to change tires.
