The AMC Mighty Mite, also known as the M422, was a series of light military offroad utility trucks introduced in 1959. The M422 and its later and longer variant the M422A1 were created for military use, and intended to be able to be moved by cargo helicopters. The Mighty Mite was powered by a 1.8L V4 engine, and saw less than 4,000 examples made of all variants. Due to the improvement of helipcopter cargo capacities, the Mighty Mite only had a short useful life before it was discontinued in 1962.
