Absolutely not and that's why I ask questions. Thanks for the good information.

Are you sure that the M-1078A1 has the same engine and transmission as a M-1078? See attached for the reason I ask. I am not trying to split hairs. I think that the weight is important though because it all factors into what the payload is on the truck when considering GVWR. I tell you...

This is for an A1 variant. I was listing the weight for the M-1078 because I believe that the OP was referring to a M-1078, not a M-1078A1. The A1 is heavier, mainly because of its beefier engine and driveline. Guess we were both right since we weren't talking about the same thing.[thumbzup]

I'm curious as to what it is that makes these heavier than a deuce and a half (M35A2/A3). I mean, with less tires, one less axle, a shorter frame, and "cheap" construction, common sense would lead you to believe that it would weigh less but it actually weighs quite a bit more. Any thoughts?

Cool. If you take out the 1,000 lbs that the TM added (see footnote) for crew and fuel, you have the same weight that I listed. I'm with you. I think that these trucks have unfairly gotten a bad wrap because of all the misinformation out there. That and people are set in their ways and...

I posted the specs in a picture below and you can clearly see that weight for the M-1078 is less than you are stating. My original numbers were low because I converted the specs listed on another site and I failed to convert properly from metric tons (what the site had the weight listed in) to...

This LINK has a lot of good specs. The top speed there is listed at 94kmh (about 58 mph), but I'd be curious to hear what people have actually driven them at and how the ride is at that speed.

Usually when you read a thread about these trucks they are packed full of negative opinions. Bad electronics, too many electronics, bad ride, not good off road, too ugly, too heavy, too expensive, too hard to work on, too modern, top heavy, not well built, lacks truck nuts, and on, and on, and...

The LMTV's weigh in around 14,500 - 15,000 lbs which is only about 1,000 - 2,000 lbs more that a deuce and a half. I am interested to hear what the top speed in an LMTV is. Many times the tires on MV's are the limiting factor on top speed but I believe that the tires pictured on the one above...
