The T27 was an eight-wheeled vehicle, with the first, second and fourth pairs of wheels being powered.

With a crew of four, the T27 was armed with two .30 caliber machine guns and a 37 mm cannon.

Powered by a Cadillac gasoline eight-cylinder engine, two T27s were produced in 1944.

It was completed in late 1943 and was tested against the T28 Armored Car at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
