New canadian 5 ton

[WPNS421]

Here is a picture of the new Military 5 tons. They are replacing the MLVW's(=M35A3) The unit you see is for use with artillery units pulling guns. Notice the extended cab and then they added the crew compartment. The truck will carry 8 - 10 personnel. No more freezing in the back for the gunners.
The picture is before they go for final assembly and installation of equipment

We get to see them when they are in transit to 'bases unknown'. The semi has two of them piggy backed together. I took a bunch of photos with my blackberry but i'm having 'issues' trying to get the photos to post. The transport drivers stop over here in Woodstock.

The front winch and bumper set up is incredible as well as the interior set up.

Very nice! Any clue what the bed will look like? Will this be the cab and chassis for several different variants?

Will we be using these in the US military?

Kinda looks like a school bus to me. I mean if buses were od green and cool. I will still be making short bus jokes about them because I am jealous that I don't have one.
