The Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle or CUCV/LSSV is a vehicle program instituted to provide the United States military with Light Utility Vehicles based on civilian trucks. It was originally intended to augment the purpose-built but expensive Gama Goats and M151 series jeeps approaching the end of their service life in the mid-1970s. Initially, Dodge W/D series trucks were provided in the late 1970s with several military modifications.
