Known for it's quite broad, and realistic size, these are the N.F.K.'s newest addition to the armies list of LTPs.
The vehicle preforms the same roles as the: IVA-2, IVA-7, Jeep, Seeker, Humvee, and many other similar types.
The vehicle has the same basic armorment as most of those types, excluding the Seeker, a 12.7mm MG. It also sports enough armor to stop 12.7mm rounds from the front, and 7.62x51mm rounds from the sides and rear.
Its engine is a simplistic multi-fuel diesel, that produces 260hp.
It has a crew of two, and can carry up to 4 extra troops.

Thanks @Gmanndo1000
Good job.
The Jeep is being phased out of general frontline use, since anything the Jeep can do, the Humvee can do better, and the Humvee can do more. The only units which retain the Jeep are reserves, mountain infantry, special forces, and paratroopers. Mountain infantry, special forces, and paratroopers prefer the jeep for its smaller size and lightness that allows it to be more airmobile, maneuverable, and stealthier.
The Seeker was always an interim measure, and was quickly replaced by Humvees when possible. It was underpowered and overweight, and prone to transmission failure. It was never popular among troops, and armed jeeps were often used in its place. The Jeep, while more reliable and able to access terrain the Seeker could not, had almost no protection from anything. The Humvee solved this dilemma, featuring a machine with the armor of the Seeker and the mobility of the Jeep.
The Seeker remains in service in military police and Air Force security units, who generally do not have these problems due to their nature of deployment. In MP and PAF Base Security, they rarely go off roads, and function as a mobile guardhouse. @PINK
