This was the beefiest Mog at the time, and if you wanted anything bigger you had to go for the 6X6.

It could handle up to a 3000 LPM pump, a 4000 liter tank and a crew of five, plus a decent amount of locker space. When fitted with a roof or bumper monitor, its "pump and roll" feature meant that it could operate for quite a long stretch over very rough terrain as a self-contained mobile firefighting platform.

The 6X6 has similar capacities and capabilities, but could accommodate a really sizeable 7000 liter tank...
