In 1951 Ford Motor Company was awarded a contract to develop a replacement for the M38 Jeep
Light Utility Vehicle. The vehicle had to be a ¼ ton 4x4 Military Utility Tactical Truck (M151
MUTT) and after extensive testing began production in 1959 until 1982. The M151, M151A1, and
M151A2 are a general purpose personnel or cargo carrier. Eventually manufacturing contracts
were awarded to Kaiser and AM General Corp and well over 100,000 MUTTs of many variants
produced.
Even after years of testing the M151 had a major problem with roll-over especially when
cornering. This vehicle saw its first combat in the Vietnam War and lasted well into the 1980s
when it was replaced by the AM General HMMWV. The M151A2 arrived in 1970 with an
improved rear suspension which improved the cornering problem of roll-over but didn’t eliminate
it. The USMC continued to use a variant of the M151 until 1999 because of its ability to be
transported inside a CH-53 helicopter.
