Kaiser Jeep M715
 

The Kaiser Jeep M715 is an American wheeled military vehicle based upon the civilian Jeep Gladiator. In 1965 the design and developing for the M715 began. The U.S. Government purchased these trucks to replace the M37. Between 1967 and 1969 over 33,000 trucks were produced at the Toledo, Ohio plant. The overhead cam 6 cyl engines were not very reliable. They had been dropped from civilian models by 1968. The trucks were replaced by the dodge M880 series.

Kia is currently designing an M715-type vehicle named the KM450 for the South Korean Army on license from the U.S. Government. India's Tata/Vectra is also entering an M715 type vehicle as a candidate for the Indian Army's LSV requirement.
In 2010 Mopar developed the concept vehicle Jeep NuKizer 715. It was a tribute to the original M715.

This M725 ambulance was used by The Israeli Defense forces in the 1973 Golan Heights Conflict. This could have been built by Haifa-Willys or AIL but it is more likely an American-Made vehicle provided to Israel under the military assistance program.
