Hey, my gf and I are considering buying an M1079 some time next year. However, we live in Alaska where winters can be bitter to say the least. So we're curious to know if you have any info on the existing insulation in the commo module. Thank you for your time and safe journeys!
They have many variants of the FMTV series. They’re anything from office spaces to production controllers (92A MOS). An expando van is the same office setup however the sides crank out. Military equipment is fun until you have to find those who’ve spent a career with it to fix it.
What is the interior height of your shelter and what is the model number? Yours seems to be taller than most on the inside. I have the trooper carrier version but will put a shelter on the back of it. It doesn't look like yours has the integrated AC which is a plus.
Kyle899 Oh, yes! A 3MPG difference is much more significant from 10MPG to 7MPG than from 20MPG to 17MPG. 20 to 17 is a 15% loss in mileage. 10 to 7 is a 30% loss in mileage, so it matters more in the single digits.
The manual lists a carry capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tow capacity of 12,000 lbs. However it also states you can tow another LMTV (about 16,699 lbs unloaded).
I seriously want one of those
Takes 155 gallons to fill the tank for 300 mi. range.
You may want to do some quick math (if that matters to you).
john hanrahan I drove them in the military. I’m very familiar and that’s ok with me
very cool LMTV I have one and love it

Brutus has come a very long way from this point!!!
How well insulated are these things and what are the dimensions if the living space?
What was that kind of truck used for originally?
They hauled radio equipment and hauled supplies
Thanks for the reply.

6'6" tall inside. Not sure of the model number.
M1079
I take it you'll be buying the LARGE farm jack.
yes very large
It comes with the truck
aaaaaaaw ! I want the same ! could you please tell us how much you paid for it and the mpg on highway ? cheers from belgium !
6.5-7 MPG
Why is everybody so concerned with MPG? They're almost 20,000 lbs! If people are used to getting 20MPG+ is 7MPG much worse than 10?

How much weight can it pull?

You will burn up the fridge that way - needs to move air on side and front
