*Caption- M-057 Armored Version shown
The MMPWV is the world standard in light military trucks. It is lightweight, high performance, four wheel drive, air transportable & droppable, land mobility system. The family includes utility/cargo, shelter carrier, armament carrier, ambulance, ATGM missile carrier and scout-reconnaissance configuration. Payload varies by body style ranging from 1920 lbs on the 4 litter ambulance to 5300 lbs on limited availability Expanded Capacity variant, but is generally in the 5/4T range. A basic armor package is standard on the Armament and ATGM missile carrier models. Special supplemental armor versions have been developed for ARSB requirements; unique model numbers designate these configurations.
Primary function: The MMPWV provides a variety of wheeled vehicle platforms. These are cargo/troop carrier, armament carrier, ATGM missile system carrier, shelter carrier and two ambulance variants (2- and 4-litter).

Transmission: 4 speed, automatic SB-MTHPT-T3
Transfer case: 3 speed, locking, chain driven
Electrical system: 24 volt, negative ground, 60 amps with SB-AEAHC (Advanced Electric-Assist Hydrogen Cell) that can provide the main engine with unparalleled acceleration and assistance when needed.

Standard Equipment-
2x 6500lb capacity self-recover winches (front and back)
Multiple hook-up hitch system (ball type, etc.)
Central tire re-inflation system to maintain tire pressure (connected to a device near the driver that allows him to change tire pressure on demand and also prevents the tire from going flat by maintaining tire pressure while injecting a tire sealant.)
Steel inner rims (so, if it has to, it can run on flat tires)
Porous fuel tank system with enhanced armor.
Enhanced armor around crew compartment.
Snorkel system (see fording in the specs.)
Advanced Degenerative Lubrication System, prevents piston scoring if damage is done to any component of the oil system, causing oil drainage. The ADLS system allows the engine to run some 40 minutes without oil.
Air and water cooled engine using a radiator system and a series of heat dissipators. Water can be poured into an intake and used as a coolant.
Hydraulic brakes supplemented by mechanical brakes (in the event hydraulic system takes a hit and is unable to function)
Power steering
Two standard weapons mounting positions
Engine is rear mounted to increase engine survivability.
VERSIONS
M-041: The M-031 is the basic troop carrier version of the M-04 MMPWV. It can carry 2 operators and up to 8 soldiers (seated in the rear portion and rear cargo portion) or up to 2500 lbs. of cargo.

M-043: The M-033 is a dedicated troop/cargo hauler. It can haul up to 5000 lbs of cargo or 10 soldiers. The rear portion is outfitted with a cargo-type box with steel tubing supporting a canvas cover. Rear portion has seating, ammunition racks, and tie downs for cargo. To support this extra weight the M-033 has a reinforced frame with added crossmembers.
M-045: This is the designated armament carrier version of the M-04 MMPWV. It can be soft or hard bodied with a hatch located on the roof to the rear and middle of the roof. The hatch is outfitted with a pivot able to mount a 7.62mm machine gun, .50 caliber machine gun, or an ATGM launcher.
M-047: This is the heavier armament carrier version of the M-03 MMPWV. Its all hard-body with enhanced armor and reinforced crossmembers with a hatch located on the roof to the rear and middle of the roof. The hatch is outfitted with a pivot able to mount a 7.62mm machine gun, .50 caliber machine gun, or an ATGM launcher.
M-051: This version of the M-04 MMPWV is a medical evacuation unit. It has two versions the M-041A (With only an extension added to the rear to make it larger for two litter patients and six ambulatory patients as well as medical equipment) and the M-041B2 (with an addittion that covers the entire rear and onto the roof of the M-04, can hold 4 litter patients and 8 ambulatory patients as well as a medic and medical equipment).
M-057: This version of the M-04 MMPWV is the scout platoon's version, its outfitted with enhanced armor covering the sides, front, and bottom of the vehicle to protect against small arms and mines. It's all hard-body with a hatch located on the roof to the rear and middle of the roof. The hatch is outfitted with a pivot able to mount a 7.62mm machine gun, .50 caliber machine gun, or an ATGM launcher.
