1982 RHIMM 5190

Behold, a truck. Welcome the backbone of the Ranavean military throughout the 1980's, the RHIMM 51 series utility truck. Built to tough the Ranavean countryside with ease - and a massive payload - the 51 series 8x8 is all the truck you could ask for, except if you want comfort. There's none of that here. The 5190 was built from 1982 all the way until 2004, when a replacement was finally introduced. Who is RHIMM ? - The Ranavean Heavy Industry & Military Manufacturer, of course. What does 5190 mean ? - 51 is the series of truck, though really it's the 5-series but the Germans would get upset. 190 represents the 19.0L diesel V12 situated inbetween the front seats, so that number was thrown in there for show. How big is this thing ? - 14 tonnes. How many companions can this pick up on main street ? - You and 3 others ! Though two will be facing backwards for space reasons, not easy fitting 19 litres.
