Yes, we know we are called Exotic Car Trader, but sometimes we get rather quirky and distinctive machines like this 1991 BMY Harsco M931A2. Perhaps you could argue that it’s somewhat exotic in a different way. This interesting thing was built by Bowen McLaughlin York (BMY), a defense contractor that became United Defense Industries, and is now under the BAE Systems umbrella. With less than 3,700 miles on the clock, this interesting machine is now up for sale, and it’s, as you’d probably glean an off-road truck. No, not a pickup truck, but a proper heavy duty 5-ton truck. So if you’ve got a unique use case scenario that this vehicle can fulfill, contact us ASAP. Of course, if you just want to own something unique and head-turning, this vehicle is suitable for that purpose, too.

Exterior and Interior

The bright orange outlook of this 1991 BMY Harsco M931AW, punctuated by some black elements, makes it a vehicle that has the potential to give onlookers twisted necks. Rolling on massive 395/80R20 Goodyear M/T tires, this machine is definitely imposing and can go almost anywhere. It’s also got an 18,000lb electric winch to help you get out of trouble – although you’re more likely to use it to help others in sticky situations than to recover this behemoth. The current owner says that the truck got a new paint job in 2024 and features keyed and locking door handles for better security. That’s because many military machines are designed to be driven in situations of urgency. So, they may not have locks and keys from the factory. The interior of this 1991 BMY Harsco M931AW is also in orange and black and features aftermarket air conditioning to help you keep cool. Not that you’ll need it; the ones sweating buckets are likely to be those in smaller vehicles around you. There’s little else in terms of creature comforts, but you could install a banging stereo system of your choice if desired.

Engine

Propelling this monster is a stout 8.3L inline-6 Cummins turbo-diesel engine, driving all four wheels through an automatic gearbox. The vehicle has been upgraded with a 24/12v 60-amp reducer. It’s also had its CTI (central tire inflation) system deleted, because of the new wheels and tires. In fact, you might notice an interesting graphic on the VIN plate, showing this vehicle having six wheels when in fact, it has four. That’s because this particular 1991 BMY Harsco M931AW has been bobbed, or shortened, with one axle removed as a result. This is done for a variety of reasons, including cosmetics and improved fuel economy.
