Morgan Olson Unveils Jeep-Based Kestrel Work Truck


(Morgan Olson: Sturgis, MI) — Morgan Olson continues their legacy of award-winning innovation with the launch of the all-new “Kestrel” work truck.  Named after the bold and agile kestrel – a small but fierce falcon known for its precision and efficiency. This compact powerhouse is smaller than Morgan Olson’s iconic step vans, yet built with the same uncompromising commitment to long-lasting performance.

“Many vocations appear to be seeking smaller applications for their delivery and service needs and we are excited to present the Kestrel as a work truck solution”, said Joe Rudolph, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Morgan Olson. “As we continue to grow and expand our work truck product line into new vocations, the Kestrel presents limitless possibilities. Customizable cargo access and management, available in left- and right-hand drive and four-wheel drive, we believe all markets, domestic and international, can be served.  The applications are not limited to work trucks; design and functionality include considerations from law enforcement, fire departments, and other first-line responders as they seek a smaller, more fuel-efficient solution for increasing demands.”

Based on the Jeep Gladiator, the Kestrel features a high-strength steel frame, 3.6L V6 engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive for rugged terrain and off-road capability. 

“With the addition of ‘automotive’ cab comforts and essential safety features, this innovative work truck retains all the proven long-life benefits Morgan Olson is known for, significantly enhancing this total turn-key work truck,” Rudolph explained. “Safety and serviceability were among our top priorities in developing the Kestrel, and these latest technologies are supported by an existing service network.”
