[1] MAN's TG range of trucks is entirely conventional in design, based on a C-section ladder-frame chassis mounting an all-steel forward-control cab.

The cab tilts forward for engine access and can be supplied in a variety of compact to crew-cab sizes.

[1][2] Militarisation packages and modification are extensive and range from basic to near-tactical, and can include air-conditioning and/ or an auxiliary heater to manage extreme climate conditions, blackout lighting, NATO trailer coupling, rifle brackets in the cab, a roof hatch for observation and/or a machine gun mount, and steel bumpers with black out lights.

More extensive militarisation can include a fording capability of up to 750 mm, a self-recovery winch, and military-specific electrics/electronics and communication/ command equipment.

Militarised TGM models have gross vehicle weights ranging from around 12- to 18-tonnes and are available with wheelbase options of 3.2, 3.6, 3.9, 4.2 and 4.5 m. Standard engine option for militarised TGM models is the six-cylinder D08 engine with up to 340 hp, this coupled to a nine-speed ZF manual all-synchromesh gearbox and MAN two-speed transfer case with selectable or permanent all-wheel drive.

TGA/TGA-WW remained available to military customers until 2011, final deliveries of militarised TGA/TGA-WW trucks including those made to the UAE in 2011.

The D26 engine with rated at 540 hp is available for heavy equipment transporter applications, this including an extra cooling rack.

A 16-speed ZF manual all-synchromesh gearbox is standard for the TGS range, this coupled to a MAN two-speed transfer box with selectable or permanent all-wheel drive.
