    That looks great. I’ve always had small vehicles, but I also like to do some projects that would benefit from a truck bed (landscaping mostly). If this truck is small enough to fit in a garage that would be an even bigger (smaller?) selling point.

    Currently I have an eGolf. It’s a hatchback, so it’s more capable of hauling things than a civic, but taller things like plants are still an issue.

    That’s not a pickup truck that’s a crossover suv with a small open area in the back. Give the equivalent of an S10/Ranger with an access cab and a 6ft bed.

      I just want a damn truck, not a minivan for dads. I have loads of pallets and baled cardboard that I could actually make $$$ from but I need a real truck bed, not the la croix version

        Ford lightning? Didn’t GM release a GMC/Chevy version of the Humme Rute?

        And if you’re in Europe* you do not need a truck. You need an EV van. And there are loads of them.

        • Honestly this is true for all but I am done trying to explain the foolishness of trucks and superiority of vans to image obsessed Americans. Like 90% of American work trucks would do their jobs better if they were vans.

          Feels like the actual contractors I see around - plumbers, electricians - use utility vans. There’s a handyman around here that I’ve seen with a fully kitted out van workshop (think vanlife setup, but a wood shop inside). The people driving around American “light” trucks don’t seem to actually be using them for working. (USA - West coast)

            Precisely. Now that I am back I nEurope. A kitted out van is the de facto vehicle of trades. It’s been a few years since I moved from the US. So perhaps the trades have now gotten the memo.

            As I say, I see vanishingly few cases where a truck is better than a van for a trades person or the job site. And of course even less so for a layman.

      It’s clearly based o their Ocean SUV and given the size similarity i am not surprised this unitbody truck looks like the other two unitbody truck.

      Only Honda and Ford went the extra mile to make their unitbody trucks look more like classic trucks to appease the truck market.
