The M1083 Standard Cargo Truck is designed to transport cargo and soldiers. It has a payload capacity of 10,000 pounds and features bed side rails mounted on hinges to facilitate loading and unloading. The cargo bed can be equipped with an optional bench seat kit for transporting soldiers. These non-wood bench seats attach to the cargo bed side rails and can be folded down and stowed when not in use. Soldiers can use a stowable ladder to climb in and out of the cargo bed area. A canvas and bows kit is provided to protect soldiers and cargo from the elements. The M1083 can also be equipped with a self-recovery winch capable of fore and aft vehicle recovery operations, with a 280-foot line capacity and a 15,500-pound bare drum line pull at 110% overload.
