Craig spotted this article in Autoweek about the descendent of the Kaiser M-715, the Kia KM450. It’s still been built, albeit with an updated power train. Still, comparing the pics, it’s amazing they still look as close as they do.
PIc of M-715 with similar stake bed setup:
Wow ! This is what Jeep should be making , not that lame 4 door junk they call a Gladiator .
Now that is cool !!!
Kia has been making those for years. So, the question is, how do we bring 25 year old examples into the US? I’ve seen many posts across many forums of people drooling over Kia’s modernized classic military vehicles. Many speculate it’s possible, but nobody has brought one to the US.
