The M577 is like to the M113 in appearance. The driver is located in the left front corner of the vehicle, while the power pack is located in the right front corner. The M577 retains the M113's torsion bar postponement, utilizing five pairs of evenly spaced aluminum alloy cast road wheels with the drive sprocket in front, the idler wheel to the rear, and no track support return rollers. The track is a steel single pin variety with each track block riding on a replaceable rubber pad. As with the M113, the M577 is fully amphibious, and is equipped with a driver deployable trim vane mounted on the front slope of the hull. The M577 is propelled through the water and maneuver by track manipulation.
