The K311 is a 4x4 multipurpose 1 1/4–ton class cargo truck developed for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces, and was introduced in 1980. It is commonly known as 4-5 (5/4) ton (4-5 톤) or military Dodge (군용 닷지), because it replaced and had similar appearance with Dodge M37. It is a modernized version of the American Kaiser Jeep M715 truck, which was also designed with an intention to replace the M37 truck.[note 1] The truck was produced by Asia Motors until Hyundai merged the company with Kia Motors in 1999.[note 2][5][6] The KM450 is an export name designated by Kia Motors, and the name is used widely outside of South Korea for both old and new variants.
