The only difference between the CCW 6X4 and CCKW 6X6 was a driven front axle on the 6X6. Other then the missing transfer case, front drive shaft and an 'I' beam front axle instead of a front driven axle all other features between them were the same. The CCKW 6X6 were rated as 2.5 ton only because of their off road capacity but on road could carry a 5 ton load the same as the 6X4 CCW.
