Kit has announced another big truck kit. This time it is the USMC LVSR MKR 16 tractor. It is scheduled for release in Jan '24.
This is a very welcomed new kit and should be well detailed based on their earlier truck kits.
Actual vehicle.

So now I will still need the conversion kit to make this an Army version.

Yup, US Army doesn’t use this version. You will have to convert less though, getting closer. Maybe they have a PLS in the works as well. 
I would be happy with an M977A4, or any A4 for that matter, even though I already ordered the 3D printed A4 conversion kit.
They could branch out with the other versions of LVSR as well; MKR15 Wrecker and MKR18 Cargo (PLS equivalent).
MKR15
MKR18
The MKR18 wouldn’t be hard to convert using Italeri or Trumpeter M1120 parts for the multi-lift and flatrack parts.
Between the above and their M1120, Trumpeter has about 80% of a PLS already. Again,

Found some built up pics of the I Kit LVSR MKR16 Tractor. It looks really nice and well detailed. Hopefully that means it will be available soon.

Found pics of the forthcoming I Kit LVSR MKR18 Cargo truck from a video of new kits at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. It looks equally as nice.
Now we just need a kit of the MKR15 Wrecker, and all the Trumpeter HEMTT A4s they have announced.

I would buy that if he made it a kit. But I also believe that US Recovery and support has historically been under represented its getting better recently but we still need more.

It is available now on eBay and from Asian suppliers. Here are more shots of the boxart, built kit, and decals and marking options. It looks very nice.

Wow it looks like somebody had one too many before they built that kit! Everything’s off - sometimes WAY off!

The container looks seriously out of scale . . .
. . especially compared to the box art photo . . . .

The container is correctly sized. It is the same one used by Trumpeter in their M1120 CHU kit. The boxtop drawing looks squashed.

My search-fu must be no good; i can only find the MKR16 on EvilBay; not even a hint of the MKR18.

Hmm, there was one earlier. Must have either sold out or taken it down.
HobbyLinK Japan still has it as a pre-order, so hopefully soon
