any of you forces people from down in the states do you know what type of truck that is on page 91 bottom right hand corner of the febuary 08 diesel power magizine?

 

I know that it is new... Can't remember its designation though. Drew should

 

Isn't that the Navy / Marine Corp 5 ton?

 

I looks more like a heavy tractor to me frog....

 

To long of a frame for a tractor

 

Ladies and Gentelmen, on page 91 of the Feb 08 Diesel power magazine there is a picture of the MTVR ( medium tactical vehicle repleacment) with a bare chassis. This family of truck was designed and built by oshkosh to replace the aging Deuce and 5 ton family of truck and can be configured in a variety of ways from cargo to wrecker to tractor trailer config. Drew, I researched a tad and looked it up, but I bet you are the definitive authority here. Pretty certain I am correct though.


Check out this wiki-proof!!
