chevpol Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 ok folks, a couple of questions regarding ACMATs. Whats the average price of a road legal one? Whats the MPG? Can it seat 3 in the cab? And finally, whats the max towing weight? Mark :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean101ryan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Is Sean Curtis (Protacman) a member here, he'd know for sure? The Irish Defence Forces had the only RHD ones (16 in total) and they ocaisionally come up for sale for 5k or more. Pretty economical on the Perkins 6.354 but noisy cruising at 45 -50, max is 55. You can get 3 across the front but on many you can only use one door because of the way the spare is hung. The driving position is more cramped that a 101, the steering wheel is huge! The canvas cab isn't exactly made for a european climate either. No idea what the towing weight is, like many military vehicles they look far bigger than their apparant carrying capacity (2.5t), they have air brakes though. The Irish army bought them instead of 101s to tow the 105mm light gun but they were not liked. They did make effective gun trucks in Somalia though, the IMVG have one preserved in this role.
