ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN
The truck is powered by a Paccar PX-8 (Cummins ISC 8.3L) diesel delivering 300 horsepower and 860 lb-ft of torque. Cummins engines are world-renowned for their longevity and reliability. Life expectancy for these engines ranges between 350,000 and 500,000 miles, although many are still in service with 750,000 - 1,000,000 miles.

An Allison 5-Speed automatic transmission (3500 RDS-P) with push button gear and mode selector makes this vehicle exceedingly easy to drive. The engine is Clean Idle Certified, so it’s ideal for states that have rigid emissions standards.
The 6x6 drivetrain with locking differentials is a rare and highly sought-after configuration and can transport you over inhospitable terrain and through hostile conditions that would render lesser trucks useless. The GVWR on this truck is 54,600 lbs and with a curb weight of under 30,000 lbs. you have plenty of capacity for carrying equipment, supplies or towing a trailer.
Two 70 GAL aluminum diesel fuel tanks ensure you have plenty of fuel to reach any destination. The primary tank is positioned under the driver’s door and the secondary tank is positioned on the passenger side with access through a locking hatch in the body.
