The M715 truck is an industry designed, Military approved vehicle embodying optimum reliability, mobility, and maintainability, with reduced initial cost, lower operating and upkeep expense per ton mile, and a 66% increase in the rated payload capacity over the previous M37, 3/4 ton vehicle which it succeeds. This paper describes the contract concept, research and vehicle development, the rigorous testing procedures, problems and corrections, all of which have produced achievements beyond expectation.
