Ten-wheel drive, 10WD or 10×10 is a drivetrain configuration of ten wheels, all of which are driven simultaneously by the engine. Unlike four-wheel drive drivetrains, this configuration is only used in extreme off-road and military uses, in particular heavy duty uses, such a heavy haulage and missile carriers. It is also used in lorries.
The Oshkosh M1074 and M1075 prime mover units in the palletized load system, and the Tatra T816 10×10 cargo carrier are both examples of vehicles using this particular driveline system. Some severe/extreme duty semi tractors may also have this drive configuration.
