Description
The Flatbed Truck described here can carry six tons of cargo in the armored cab, and another ten tons on an unarmored trailer.[3] It's a generic vehicle type found across the Inner Sphere and Clan Homeworlds used by both military forces and civilian companies to haul cargo on a planet's surface.
Armament
Flatbed Trucks are not designed for combat. As such no manufacturer builds them with integrated weapons. Drivers who are operating in dangerous situations (civil war, invaded world, etc.) will often add some small weapon like a Machine Gun or SRM-2 to deter attackers. Other drivers will attempt to increase protection by adding extra armor to the truck, but this often increases the maintenance requirements of the truck due to increased weight.
Variants
Nearly every world has a manufacturer that can build a Flatbed Truck variant.
