History
Ford’s four-wheel drives went to war first — Marmon-Herrington conversions for the US and Belgian armies from 1936, 277,000 GPW Jeeps and the GPA amphibian in 1942–45, the M151 MUTT of 1959–82 with more than 100 armies — and to work with the factory F-Series 4x4 of 1959: the trucks of American ranches, utilities, forest services and fire departments, the Bronco of the Forest Service and Border Patrol, the Explorer and Expedition of police departments, and the Ranger T6 and Everest of mines, farms and aid agencies on four continents.
