The Oshkosh Striker (available in 4 x 4, 6 x 6, and 8 x 8 axle configurations) offers many proprietary technologies, including Oshkosh TAK-4 all-wheel and fully independent suspension for a smooth ride and exceptional off-road capabilities.

The engine power pack components are readily accessed through walk-in doors on either side of the engine compartment for easier servicing.
