Oshkosh MTVR - I want one!

[rbattelle]

The new Oshkosh MTVR looks pretty awesome.

I want the 4x4 short bed cargo truck.

Anyone out there had an opportunity to look at one of these?

On edit: oops, it's not new. Fielded in 1998.

WOW!



GREAT find Ryan - my wife and I had just been puzzling over what to use to pull our extra Howitzer around with... :-laf:-laf:-laf

The short bed truck has a single axle and a wheelbase of only 163. 7"! That's only 3. 2" longer than a long-bed Ram! It'll almost fit in a normal parking space (it's 98" wide).

If I just had a little extra money that could make a very fun toy. :-laf

The less than 4 mpg might be a little hard to take though :-laf

Ouch! I was so blinded by love I didn't even think about the fuel economy. I guess I'd have to brew my own biodiesel and run with that.
