Kaiser Jeep – other models: the M52 military tractor unit from Toledo, Ohio, six-cylinder with 7.6-litre displacement, gross weight 14,909 kg
Kaiser Jeep Corporation of Toledo, Ohio, built vehicles for the US military under its standardised M-number system alongside civilian Jeep models between 1963 and 1970; the M52 A2 models listed here carry this designation as a 5-ton tractor unit for semi-trailers. Toledo was at the time one of the central production centres for military vehicles in the American Midwest. This page gathers the versions the register could not assign to a named range.

The register lists 2 versions here with a six-cylinder engine of 7,600 cc, kerb weights from 7,992 to 8,044 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 14,909 kg, and lengths from 6,420 to 6,530 mm with widths from 2,450 to 2,500 mm.
The M52 served as a tractor unit for semi-trailers in the US armed forces' supply and transport service and was built in several production runs by different manufacturers over decades before newer military truck ranges replaced it. After being retired from active service, many of these vehicles passed to civilian buyers and collectors.
For a used example of these vehicles, now traded mainly in the collector market, check for rust on the chassis and cab, the condition of the transfer case and four-wheel drive, the operation of the military-specification brake system, and parts supply through specialist military-vehicle dealers.
