US MTVR HEAVY CARGO TRUCK

Description

Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) or 7-Ton, is an all-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle used by the United States Marine Corps and United States Navy. It is designed to replace the old M939 tactical trucks, and was first fielded in 1998, after the contract was awarded to Oshkosh Truck Corporation. The MTVR comes in several variants, for a wide spectrum of tasks. It offers a major improvement in off-road capability. The MTVR is often referred to as a 7-Ton - 7 short tons (6,400 kg); denoting the vehicle’s off-road cargo capacity. The MTVR’s maximum payload on paved surfaces is 15 short tons (14,000 kg). The MTVR is the Marine Corps prime mover for the M777 howitzer, fuel and water assets, troops and a wide variety of equipment. Its wide versatility and offroad capability make the MTVR an integral part of the Marine Corps logistical backbone. Attention! Howitzer Shown on the picture is NOT included in the boxe.
