I do not know how many people looked at that image. I will re-post: . I am not positive of the terminology because I have never seen this exact model, nor can I find it now. The truck class is the HEMTT, Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck. The only five-axle version that I ever saw was the M1075 Palletized Load System, as seen in "Dark Knight Rises" . The M984 Wrecker is an eight-wheeled version of what was shown:

In Afghanistan I drove the M978 2500 Gal Fuel Tanker (my actual job) , but usually a M1120 Load Handling System (someone else's job)

I always wanted to drive the M1070 Heavy Equipment Transporter System

Well, nobody asked, so I will leave you guys alone. Rmay, thank you for sharing that beautiful example of four-wheel steering (and ten-wheel drive)!
