HEAVY VARIANT CARGO/TROOP CARRIERS: M1097, M1097A1, M1097A2, AND M1123
PURPOSE: This model is used for transporting equipment, materials, and/or personnel (including crew)
of 4,400 pounds (1,998 kilograms). The only difference between the M998 and M998A1 cargo/troop carriers
and the M1097, M1097A1, M1097A2, and M1123 heavy variant cargo/troop carriers is that the M1097,
M1097A1, M1097A2, and M1123 are specifically designed to accommodate a higher payload capacity. This
difference affects vehicle length, width, and shipping dimensions, but does not affect the basic purpose and
performance of the vehicle. The increased payload capabilities accomodate the following kit configurations:
