🚚 Korean Kia Gets Rugged Twist
Kia is hoping a tougher-looking truck can win truck buyers over after their highly anticipated Korean pickup—the Tasman—was not quite the success the carmaker expected.
The original Tasman
A beefed-up, customized version of the truck featuring a steel bull bar, a roof rack with solar panels, and LED spotlights was spotted online from an Australian dealer.
The customized Tasman
Some enthusiasts anticipate Kia may try to market the truck’s ability to look rugged with custom accessories. You can see more photos of the custom truck here.

Florida followed in the footsteps of Texas in legalizing gold and silver as legal tender, allowing the precious metals to be used as currency in the state.
The policy allows individuals to buy and sell goods using gold and silver as currency, and convert gold and silver into U.S. dollars seamlessly.
If implemented at scale, the policy could provide millions with financial power to hold money with true value—and be a hedge against a potential financial crisis.
