This are MAN KAT 2. They were developed especially for the US Army as transport vehicle for the Pershing rocket. They have a water cooled V10 engine and the larger 16" tires.
The disadvantage is that they seat only two persons in the truck cab because of the engine placement. It also has a smaller wheelbase as the original 8x8 KAT 1. So a expedition cabin would not be longer than on a typical 6x6. Of course, the milage of this beast is well below 5 mpg.
Truck: MAN KAT1 6x6 7t mil gl, 1979, Deutz 8 cyl, 12.8 l, 400 hp, air-cooled, 6-speed, torque converter, GVWR 42,300 lb
Cabin: FRP, 2 1/6" PU, 20x8.2x8.1 ft(lxwxh), elec. cook. (no LPG), 2x6000 W inverter, 900 Ah/24 V, chrg 2x25 A/24 V, diesel heat, 164 gal tw, 93 gal gr/bl, vacuum toilet

Emil, what kind of mileage so you get with the KAT1? Sorry if you've mentioned this elsewhere.

Last year I got over about 8.500 km through russia with offroad a fuel usage of about 42 l/100 km (5.6 mpg). Some with lighter load get more than 6 mpg.
