Kia is not a traditional body-on-frame truck manufacturer. But the brand is trying to change that. Kia debuted a kind of weird-looking new Tasman pickup to take on vehicles like the Ford Ranger in markets outside North America. And the brand has even been considering a potential SUV variant of the Tasman to take on foreign equivalents of the Toyota 4Runner. However, recent comments suggest that the SUV version is not going to happen anytime soon… if it happens at all.
