After the Korean War, the US Army defined a new concept for cross-country mobility - the Platform. Developed by Willys, the makers of the immortal Jeep, the M274 was a lightweight powered flatbed that featured four wheel drive (4WD) AND four wheel steering.
Weighing in at 900 pounds, the M274 could easily be airlifted around the battlefield, and its 16 horsepower engine could propel the vehicle up to 25 mph. This was the precursor to the 4WD All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) that are popular work and play vehicles today.
The M274 could mount a 106mm recoilless rifle. It measured in at 119 inches long and 50 inches wide. The Mechanical Mule was used by the US Army as well as by some NATO and other allied nations.
