1962 FQ15

The U.S. Army Procurement Agency (APA) in Japan demanded the replacement of the American-made military vehicles supplied to Japan and Southeast Asian countries with new Japanese-made vehicles. In May 1957, bidding was conducted for the supply of trucks to the Defense Agency, but Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. could not obtain the order.

From 1958 to 1962, orders for a total of 51,273 3/4-ton four-wheel drive trucks (Model FQ15L and Model 2FQ15L) and 2.5-ton six-wheel drive trucks (Model DW15L and Model2DW15L) were received.
