Jeep M-715 Five-Quarter Concept
The Jeep M-715 Five-Quarter Concept is a 700 horsepower restomod of Jeep's classic 1968 M-715 military truck, built to fuse vintage milspec attitude with modern Hellcat power. Revealed at the Moab Easter Jeep Safari, this Jeep M-715 concept keeps the soul of the original Gladiator based workhorse while swapping in carbon fiber bodywork, a supercharged V8 and serious off-road hardware.
What is the Jeep M-715 Five-Quarter?
Back in 1968, the M-715 Gladiator was Jeep's workhorse for military service. A tested and proven platform, it was the pinnacle of milspec vehicles at the time. In a rush of nostalgia, Jeep decided to bring back the military vibes of the M-715 with this latest concept, which it calls the Five-Quarter, a nod to the original truck's one and a quarter ton rating, or five quarters.
What powers the Jeep M-715 concept?
The Five-Quarter Concept is based exactly on this platform, the same yet so much different. Under the hood, a 6.2L supercharged Hellcat V8 pushes out around 700 hp. Up front, the original steel has been replaced with lightweight carbon fiber. While the original frame is kept, it has been reinforced, and the rear leaf springs have been ditched in favor of a link and coilover live axle, with the front axle notched two inches ahead for better geometry.
Will the Jeep M-715 reach production?
This concept mixes Jeep's tried and tested platforms with a modern look and performance, a combination that ticks so many of our boxes. We do not expect to see it hit the streets soon, but we appreciate the guts of Jeep for exploring our automotive fantasies. The Jeep M-715 Five-Quarter remains one of the most exciting off-road concepts the brand has built in years.
