The KAMAZX-6350 (top) has a 10t to 16t load capacity and is the most unified with serial trucks. The three-axial KAMAZ-65224 (bottom) has a GVW of 30t and load capacity up to 18t.
Mustang family trucks are provided with turbo-chargers with 'air-air' aftercooling that allows to use trucks in high altitudes (up to 4500m) without power loss under nominal conditions and increase fuel efficiency by 15% to 20 % in comparison to serial trucks. The engines are equipped with special systems assuring engine trouble-free start at low ambient temperatures to -50°C.
Improved tractive capabilities of Mustang trucks are provided by a ten-speed gearbox (KAMAZ-4350, KAMAZ-5350) or nine-speed gearbox (KAMAZ-6350), with possible installation of ZF gearbox 16S151 to use trucks in heavy off-road conditions.

“Kama-1260” cross-country radial tires with variable pressure are provided on Mustang military trucks. With tire pressure change, its supporting portion increases to provide the truck off-road capability, i.e. fording up to 1.75 m, ability to overcome trenches of 0.6m to 1.4m and walls of 0.6m height, with high specific power developed.
The Mustang military truck family comprises all proven technical solutions of serial trucks, such as differential lock, improved air-cleaning system and advanced brake system assuring quick brake release. Different power take-off and transfer case versions will satisfy even the most demanding consumer. A geared hoist with 82m cable is installed on all trucks to provide for mobility in heavy road conditions and for recovery of stuck vehicles. Protracted front and rear buffers allow recovery of a truck by pushing it forward or pulling it back by a similar truck. This design was first used in combat action in Afghanistan.
