Utility Truck
Statistics
| Country of Origin/Used by: | USA |
| First Produced/Service Dates: | 1964 |
| Manufactured by: | Kaiser Jeep Corp. and American Motors Corp. |
| Crew: | 1-3 |
| Armament: | Varied by Mission: (1) M60 7.62mm LMG, or (1) M2 .50 cal HMG. Also, there was a M40A1 106mm Recoilless Rifle Armed Mutt = M151A1C. |
| Engine: | 4 Cylinder Gasoline |
| Miscellaneous Info: | The main physical difference that can be noted from the outside between this version and the M151A2, was the introduction of a small turn signal on the A2's top forward fender. Still using the original independent coil suspension with minor improvements, the vehicle was felt to still have a tendency to roll over in a sharp turn. While the A1 tried to remedy some of the shortcomings of the original vehicle, the suspension still remained a concern. |
