M151 – 사진 및 비디오

트럭, 유틸리티, 1/4톤, 4×4, M151 (M151)은 한국전쟁 M38과 M38A1 지프 라이트 유틸리티 차량의 후계자였다. 일반적으로 "지프"또는 "쿼터 톤"이라고하며, 1959 년부터 1982 년까지 생산되어 베트남 전쟁에서 사용되었습니다. M151은 모노코크 디자인으로 이전 지프 디자인보다 더 넓어졌으며 코일 스프링이 있는 독립적인 서스펜션을 통합했습니다. 이후 최전선에서 사용되는 대부분의 유틸리티 역할에서 더 큰 AM 일반 HMMWV로 대체되었습니다. 1999년 일부 M151A2 유닛이 아직 미군 복무 중이기 때문에 M151 시리즈는 WW2 MB/GPW, M38 및 M38A1 시리즈를 합친 것보다 더 긴 서비스 실행을 달성했습니다.

The M151 truck was a 4×4 utility vehicle that served in the US military and other allied forces for several decades. It was developed by Ford Motor Company in the 1950s as a replacement for the older M38 and M38A1 jeeps. The M151 had a unique integrated body and frame design that gave it more space and better handling than its predecessors. It also had an independent suspension system with coil springs that improved its off-road performance. The M151 was powered by a 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produced 71 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. It had a four-speed manual transmission and a single-speed transfer case that allowed it to switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive modes.
The M151 could carry four passengers and their equipment, and had a range of about 300 miles on a single tank of gas. The M151 was widely used in the Vietnam War, where it proved to be versatile and reliable in various roles, such as reconnaissance, transport, ambulance, fire support, and command and control. The M151 was also exported to many countries around the world, such as Canada, Denmark, Portugal, Israel, and Lebanon. The M151 was gradually replaced by the larger and more modern HMMWV in the 1980s and 1990s, but some units remained in service until 1999.
