Alpine Industries M23 Modular Utility Truck

Description
The M23 is the keystone model of our line of utility trucks. This truck features a modular chassis system with easy quick connect/disconnect systems that allow you to attach the right chassis for any job. The truck is powered by a 16-cylinder hydrogen engine and a sizable fuel tank, making it ideal for any mission that might take you far from a resupply base. While a top speed of 84 km/h isn't the fastest, its stable and the 6x6 capabilities ensure even the toughest terrain won't stop you from completing your objective. Currently, Alpine Industries produces three different chassis variants and three trailers which should cover most needs of the modern colonial army. Operational instructions are listed below.

M23 Skeleton Chassis - A stripped down frame with lights and tow hitch. Ideal for creating a solution for any missions not covered by other standard chassis.

M23 Cargo Chassis - The cargo bed has enough room for everything you may need to haul. Its also capable of installing benches, allowing for the transport of 10-14 fully equipped ground troops. The deployable ramp allows easy entry and exit for ground troops or cargo loaders. The trailer hitch allows you to haul external weapon systems like our line of towables.

M23 AA Chassis - Equipped with twin autocannons, this turret chassis is ideal for taking care of any airborne threat to your convoy. The turret is capable of being controlled by a gunner or by AI.

Flatbed Trailer - A basic flatbed trailer, perfect for hauling vehicles and equipment to where they are needed most.

Fuel Trailer - Six large fuel tanks allows you to transport an entire army's worth of hydrogen to wherever its needed, like a fuel depot or a missile silo.

Box Trailer - Our box trailer is perfect for hauling large quantities of cargo in a closed and secure trailer.

Due to the complexity of the design and all the subgrids/systems involved to make all features work seamlessly, it is highly recommended that you use the Multigrid Projector mod as to allow for you to print these trucks with all systems intact. I would also recommend the Toolbar Manager plugin so you don't have to readd multiple button controls.
