This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the
GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial
redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on
a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until
I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these
days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml

Spacemobile Armored Utility Truck v1.0 (TL9)
Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer
The Utility Truck was designed for military and security operations on
earthlike worlds. The compact 4x4 has two crew seats in the cab and room
for eight troops or a ton of cargo in the rear. It is armed with a 15mm

The truck uses simple technology by the standards of an interstellar
civilization, for ease of maintenance in frontier areas. The multifuel
engine can burn hydrocarbons from high-octane avgas to peanut oil. At
travel speed, it burns 3.75 gallons of diesel or gasoline per hour. A
full load of diesel and ammunition is $14,520.
