In 1970, the M325 Command Car was first produced to replace the Power Wagons, on classic Dodge M601 chassis with Chrysler components and AIL bodywork.

The AILs are known for their superior off-road capabilities with low gearing (82:1), good ground clearance (16 inches) and ample power given by the 3.7 litre Chrysler motor.

The Cargo A version was designed as a personnel carrier with seats placed along the sides facing inwards, being able to carry 12 men and their equipment.

A third version used for border patrol work in Israel has an open cab separately mounted from the firewall, and a rear body designed to deflect mine blast.

Further versions were produced as ambulances and enclosed bodied radio-command trucks.The AIL M325 Command Cars replaced Dodge Power Wagons in the Israeli defence force in the mid-1970s.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Botswana Defence Force was supplied with M325 Command Cars – patrol trucks as well as Cargo A and B versions.
