Dodge M37 Power Wagon – Military Truck – Korea – Vietnam
The Dodge M37 Power Wagon is a 3/4-ton 4×4 military truck that was produced by Dodge during the Korean War era from 1951 to 1954. It was used by the U.S. military as a cargo and personnel transport vehicle, as well as for other purposes such as towing artillery and equipment.
The M37 was powered by a 230 cubic inch inline six-cylinder engine that produced 78 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. It had a four-speed manual transmission with a two-speed transfer case, which allowed it to shift into low gear for extra power and torque when needed. The truck’s maximum payload capacity was 1.25 tons.
The M37 was known for its rugged durability and off-road capabilities, and many were later sold as surplus vehicles to the public. Today, the M37 Power Wagon is a popular vehicle among collectors and enthusiasts of military and vintage trucks. They are often restored and modified for off-road use, and can be seen at events such as military vehicle shows and off-road rallies.
