From Military Truck to Work Truck: The Monterra 6x6 

Vehicle ResearchPhotos 7May 8, 2024

The Acela Truck Company's Monterra 6x6 is an extreme-duty work truck that has been rebuilt from military trucks, making it a powerful and versatile option for various applications, such as mining, pipeline construction, oil and gas, utility, border protection, and wildland firefighting, among others.

The truck is equipped with 47-inch tires, offering 22 inches of ground clearance, and has an easily adjustable Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), enabling drivers to adjust tire pressure on the fly to match the terrain.

Originally designed for the U.S. Army to operate in extreme weather and terrain conditions, the Monterra 6x6 is the ultimate work truck, delivering the performance, durability, and versatility that extreme-duty fleets demand.

Recently, the Milton Freewater Rural Fire District received its brand-new Tactical Tender, a Monterra 6x6 truck outfitted with a high-water kit, which will be used to combat brush fires and floods in rural Oregon, providing a reliable and effective emergency services solution.

The Acela Monterra 6x6 is a completely overhauled military truck rebuilt to meet the demands of today's work truck market, providing exceptional performance, durability, and versatility. Work Truck had the opportunity to check out the fully outfitted model on display outside of the Oregon Fire Chiefs Association's Annual Conference in Bend, Oregon.
