Every U S Vehicle Cost Used in WWII

Every U.S. Vehicle Cost Used in WWII
From a $395 motorcycle to a tank that cost more than most American homes, the United States built an arsenal so massive it buried the Axis powers under a mountain of steel. But what did all that firepower actually cost?

In this video, we break down the price tag of every major American vehicle that rolled, swam, or rumbled through World War II. We explore how the "Arsenal of Democracy" outproduced the opposition, manufacturing 2.8 million vehicles—seven times Germany's total output.

The Price of Victory: Vehicle Breakdown
Light Utility: The $395 Harley-Davidson WLA and the iconic $648 Willys MB Jeep.
The Workhorses: From the $5,000 Dodge Command Car to the legendary $6,000 "Deuce and a Half" GMC CCKW.
Amphibious Innovation: The $30,000 DUKW "Duck" and the $40,000 LVT Amtracs that won the Pacific.
Armored Might: The $30,000 M3 Stuart "Honey," the $45,000 M4 Sherman, and the $83,000 M26 Pershing heavy tank.
Tank Destroyers: The lightning-fast $55,000 M18 Hellcat and the $58,000 M36 Jackson.

The mathematics of industrial warfare were never in the Axis's favor. While the cost was high, these vehicles provided the mobility and firepower necessary to liberate Europe and the Pacific.
