Vehicle description
Oshkosh MK48 LVS "Dragon Wagon"
12.1L Detroit Diesel V8 HT740D Allison Automatic Transmission 2-Speed Transfer Case 8 Wheel Full Lock Reconditioned in 2010 MK14 Rear Body Unit 4 other Rear Body Units available ABS Added in 2010 312 miles are shown on the odometer, and 43 hours are shown on the Hour meter.
This Oshkosh Mk48 is an eight-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle that was completely reconditioned top to bottom at USMC Logistics Base Albany, GA in 2010. The rebuild was undertaken when the truck was essentially new and had just 77 miles, and it included installing a new turbocharged 12.1-liter Detroit Diesel 8V92TA 2-stroke diesel engine and a full repaint, as well as the addition of ABS and other safety features. It now has 312 miles on it, I have 2 mk48"s and have primarily used the other one to preserve the excellent condition of this one for car shows and cruises.
The truck was fully repainted in 2010, and new 53″ tires were fitted to all nine wheels at that time. The rear body unit (RBU) is a 2010-build MK14 articulated flatbed with a 20′ load surface. All eight wheels are driven, and the steering is handled by the front four wheels and the articulated chassis.
A similar truck, also built by Oshkosh, is in use by the US Army. The MK48 is configurable and the forward power section can be coupled with a number of different rear sections built for the model. The US Army’s HEMTT is similar, but lacks the LVS’s ability to use different RBUs with the front power unit. I also have an MK15 (Wrecker w/ Crane) RBU as well as an MK18 (Roll off with 2 flat racks) RBU I would consider selling with this sale if interested.
The bed is set up to anchor down connex containers, and the RBU has a payload capacity of 20k pounds on-road or 12k pounds off-road. Towing capacity is rated at 100k pounds.
The transmission is an Allison automatic that applies drive to all eight wheels. A large lever above the shifter controls the trailer brakes. All interior features work flawlessly
Power comes from a turbocharged 12.1-liter Detroit Diesel 8V92TA 2-stroke diesel engine which was replaced during the 2010 rebuild. Rated output is approximately 450 horsepower and 1,250 lb-ft of torque.
The military rebuilt it in order to incorporate numerous updates, including the addition of ABS and other safety features. A Jake Brake, or engine brake system, is also fitted. The last mechanical service was on March of 2020, All fluids and filters were changed.
The transmission is an Allison HT740D with 4 forward gears and one reverse. The transfer case is a 2-speed Oshkosh DA100. All of the air controlled differentials can be locked via a set of cabin-mounted controls.
