Alright, next vehicle.

MT-76 Series
Produced from 1967 to 78.

Length: 25'
Width: 8'2"
Height: 9'5"
Engine: Brittany V8 4.8L, 165HP @ 3300 RPM

Suspension: Backbone Chassis, Independent Spring
Curb Weight: 23,000lbs
Gross weight: 51,000lbs

The MT-76 is a 7 ton 6x6 truck built in the 1960s by the Elrich Motor Company in Saarbrucken. It was developed in response to Denton's need to replace it's aging fleet of post-war trucks. It was the second military truck series to incorporate the backbone chassis and independent suspension, as revolutionized by Tatra, and the first truck to successfully deploy the TMEB (Truck Mounted Earth-moving Blade). While praised by it's crews for it's ruggedness and ability to tackle the roughest terrain with ease, it was woefully underpowered (although the engine was very reliable) and a maintenance nightmare. The backbone chassis it was built on had reliability problems that were not solved until the -13 series, the transfer case had a knack for going out at inopportune times, and the transmission was extremely noisy and was difficult to shift. Despite all of these problems, it served as the backbone for the Denton Army until the introduction of the larger, more reliable HT-86 and HT-158 in 1988.
