  • The M54 Truck, officially designated Truck, Cargo, 5 Ton 6×6 M54, is a heavy cargo truck developed by, and deployed primarily with, the United States Armed Forces. The vehicle is a member of the M39 series of trucks. It is rated for five-ton cargo loads, cross-country, and ten-ton cargo loads, highway, making it a heavy truck. The basic M54 is fitted with a Continental gasoline engine, whereas variants had different engines (see below). The vehicle is approximately 25 feet long and weighs approximately 10 tons when empty. The M54 was the primary heavy truck of the US Army and US Marine forces during the Vietnam War. It was used to haul cargo, and was also modified to serve as a gun truck by adding armour and various weapons, including double, or Quadmount .50 caliber machine guns. The truck was also used by the US Navy, and US Air Force, and was deployed by ARVN forces in Vietnam as well. Although most noted for its extensive use in Vietnam, the rugged, reliable M54 continues to serve in armed forces around the world to the present day.
