Australia tunes up Kia’s firstborn truck

ARB, an Australian aftermarket company specializing in expedition and off-road equipment, has revealed its own vision of the Kia Tasman.

The Korean automaker’s first pickup truck is depicted wearing LED lights on the front end and above the windshield, a rack on the roof and a new front bumper (two, actually). One of the proposed designs has a bull bar, while both have recovery eyes and skid plates. The suspension is visibly lifted, but there are no specifics.

As one would expect, the arches now house new wheels with beadlock protection and meatier all-terrain tires. And the bed can be customized in a variety of ways, AB says demonstrating just some possibilities. There is a simple tonneau cover, a canopy and several options in between. A ladder and a couple of spare wheels are also on the list.

Although 3D renderings is all we have at the moment, ARB highlights that all these products will become available for the Tasman in the near future.
