The M1078 Standard Cargo Truck is designed to transport cargo and soldiers. The M1078 has a payload capacity of 5,000 pounds, and to facilitate loading/unloading, the bed side rails are mounted on hinges and can be lowered. The cargo bed can be equipped with an optional bench seat kit for transporting soldiers. These bench seats are constructed of non-wood material and attach to the cargo bed side rails. The seats can be folded down and stowed when not in use. Soldiers can climb in and out of the cargo bed area with the aid of a stowable ladder. A canvas and bows kit is available to protect soldiers and cargo from the elements. The M1078 can also be equipped with an optional self-recovery winch kit capable of fore and aft vehicle recovery operations. The winch has a 308-foot line capacity and a 10,000-pound bare drum line pull.
