How far must you go?
 
During the war, it was decided to see how much weight needed to be shed from a 15CWT CMP to equal the power to weight ratio of a Dodge.

The vehicle selected was this Ford F15A, and the trial conducted at Monegeeta.

More pictures.

Aaannnnddd!!!!
 
this does not take into consideration the Dodges superior ride comfort or the way it doesn't cut your thumbs off, when a front tyre hits a "terrain anomally". Altogether a fine piece of engineering.
I do wonder though, how the Americans managed to produce so many drivers, all the same size to fit the Dodge weapons carriers and Jeeps? (they have no seat adjustment)

Windscreen stickers
 
You'll notice on the F15A above and, indeed this FGT a pair of stickers on the left windscreen. Presumably they were running in warnings.
Does anyone have a picture of them? They're a different shape from the Canadian ones.
