![]() ![]() #2 the Hyundai so far is not looking like the show truck. #1 you had better wait to see what Ford is going to offer before you get exited. What I don’t get is how butt hurt some get on this site the second a person brings up anything about trucks that doesn’t fit their mold? ![]() And not everyone can afford those expensive trucks or may be able to continue to buy them. Why? There is a market and need for a truck like this and not something as big as the Ranger or Colorado or even worse the F150 or Silverado. Why? Other brands will be bringing out smaller type trucks soon. My point is that a very large number of people who drive big trucks really never need them and they could certainly get by with a small uni-body type truck. There are a lot of people who want to carry a gas can (but no way inside an SUV or car) or other small items. There are a lot of people who only need a truck bed to haul a small push lawn mower and a few yard-care items. There are a lot of people who enjoy fishing and can use an open bed to haul tackle, poles, fish they catch, etc. I attempting to speak about people who use trucks (using the open bed to haul things of smaller nature) but that don’t need a heavy duty type or large truck. I wasn’t referring to people who use trucks (such as farmers, construction workers, etc). Maat 12:38 I may have said that part wrong. Sweepstakes Of The Month: Win a 2023 Corvette Z06.

Look for both the Ford Courier and Hyundai Santa Cruz unibody trucks to arrive sometime in 2021. Like the current version of the truck, it will only be offered with front-wheel drive and a four-cylinder engine. The new pickup, which will launch in markets like Mexico and Brazil next year and will ride on GM’s new GEM platform, which stands for Global Emerging Markets. While GM has no plans to bring a compact unibody pickup to the United States (that we know of) it is currently working on the next-generation Chevrolet Tornado/Montana/Utility. Details on the Santa Cruz remain scarce, but like the Ford, it will be a four-cylinder and will have a unibody platform. Last year, Hyundai announced it would build a production version of its Santa Cruz pickup concept at its large manufacturing complex in Montgomery, Alabama. The Ford Courier isn’t the only compact unibody pickup coming to America for 2021. It will be produced at its plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, which will also build the next-generation Ford Transit Connect utility van. The Ford Courier is expected to go on sale before the end of 2021, with Ford targeting annual sales of about 100,000 units. The Chevrolet Tornado is also sold in Argentina, Brazil and other emerging markets and is marketed as the Montana and Utility depending on the region. For this reason, it would not be an appropriate answer to the four-door Courier, which is being developed with the more demanding American customer in mind. It does offer the Chevrolet Tornado unibody truck in Mexico, but the Tornado was developed for emerging markets and is only a two-door. The Ford Courier could be a bit of a thorn in the side of General Motors when it arrives, as the Detroit-based automaker does not currently offer a compact pickup in the United States or Canada. Also like the original Ranger, the truck will be a simple, utilitarian offering, which should make it attractive to fleet buyers and those who want small, inexpensive work truck. The pickup, rumored to be called the Ford Courier, is said to have flat sides and a slightly boxy shape that is reminiscent of the original Ford Ranger, which was released in 1983. Media reports surfaced this week claiming Ford chief operating officer Jim Farley showed the unibody pickup during a recent dealer meeting and said it would be priced from under $20,000. ![]() Ford has reportedly shown its dealers an inexpensive new unibody pickup that will slot in underneath the mid-size Ranger in the automaker’s truck portfolio. ![]()
