The all-wheel drive option is available on Model 567s in a set-back front axle configuration. It includes the Marmon-Herrington MT22H front drive axle and the Dana Spicer DS4636 drive axle. The MT22H is rated at 22,000 pounds and the DS4636 is rated at 46,000 pounds.
All-wheel drive can be ordered with several auxiliary components, including transfer cases or with a drive axle in place of the transfer case, based on preference.
