Numerous new Ford T16 Universal Carriers drive out of the Ford factory for testing. First, they traverse a very steep hill, singly, then are seen driving in formation at moderate speed on a dirt field. Following this the T-16s maneuver through rugged swampy terrain, with mud up to their tread depth. Finally, they run at high speed over very hilly rough terrain and actually become airborne as they crest some steep hills. They end up returning over the same obstacle that they passed at the start of the test course.
