It appears to be the transporter / wrecker version, M1070 Heavy Equipment
Transporter.
built by Oshkosh starting in early 1990s. Note the winch behind the cab.

Very distinctive due to the reduction gears in the wheel hubs.
Looks like a worthy successor to the M26 Dragon Wagon.
I want one! (either one!)
