Studebakers????

In the Soviet Lend-Lease, we provided both Dodge (3/4 ton trucks) and Studebaker (2 1/2 ton). In John Toland's "The Last 100 Days - The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe", Red Army troops on Dodge trucks were the first seen in Berlin.

I know, I was mostly kidding. All sorts of companies provided lend lease trucks including Reo and GM. However, this site lists the greatest number of towing vehicles given in aid were from Studebaker.
