I've been seeing those M1083's on flatbeds leaving Wisconsin and taking 94e to wherever for the past 2 years. I at least see 8 semi's a week with 2 of those on them. What are they used for...?

I thought the single axle one was the deuce replacement and the 2 axle ones like in the pic are the 5ton replacement?
(Of course I have been wrong...frequently...LOL)

The single-axle trucks are "2 1/2 ton" rated trucks, but that is their MAX capacity (even on-road) as opposed to the traditional 2 1/2 tons (M35s, etc) which are 2 1/2 ton off-road but 5 ton max capacity on improved roads.

The reason you're seeing them come out of Wisconsin is Oshkosh Trucks has the contract to upgrade/produce them (as far as I know). Upgrade is really a swap out of the cab, fuel tank insulation and some power hydraulics upgrades from what I know.

Cargo and trailer towing. A lot of different types of units get them. Don't let the spaceship looking cab fool you, they're just general purpose trucks.

BC the vehicle is called an (FMTV) Family Of Medium Tactical Vehicles! Oshkosh has been building these trucks for a few years now! Here is a link for the truck!
