Hyundai is making a pickup.

Somebody forgot a trunk lid.

If it has spark plugs and only 4 wheels, it's not a truck.

Hey come on now.
My f250 king ranch does alot I don't need to waist extra money on 6 tires nor do I really need anything more then my gas motor.
Yeah here and there I wish I had a bit more but maybe once a year .
My deuce and a half was a beast but only ever had to actually us it once when a ups truck parked in a mud pit girl was on her first week and didn't want to call it in .
I drove by in my ram 2500 they waved me down 3 big trucks with chains pulling I stopped they said hook up I said no point it was sitting on axle . Told them I'd be back in 5 mins with my "big" truck
They all looked puzzled as they said a 2500 was big .
I laughed and said give me a minute told them all to unhook . I pulled up with the deuce and a half and it's 6x6 glory and it's Whistler multi fuel motor. Hooked up stuck it in low 6x6 let off clutch and away we went . The poor guys in there jacked up trucks with there big tires all kinda looked like they were a little less of a man after that !
Told them all if they wanted to do a tug of war all them verses me I'd be up for it in my $2700 truck!

The suv with a birth defect above is great for a person that wants to buy some flowers and not get there suv dirty

Every seat gets an *** people will buy them

Better then that elc hummer

Out on the drilling rig, the duallys would get stuck in the soft sand. I'd pull them out with the Hummer H3 6 cylinder in 4 low. Those duallys weren't 4 or 6 wheel drive but they were terrible in the soft stuff. In Kansas the idea of a road into a wellsite was to take a bulldozer and scrape off the crops and call it good.

Hella of a picture!

That's not a truck and shouldn't be referred to as one. That's an insult to a real truck. It might have a place in the market, but, not on a job site, like a real truck.

Agreed - its a not a traditional vehicle used for "truck duties" but for the average urbanites who don't need or want a big 2500 Ram or 3500 Silverado... it is a good concept. Sometimes people just need a small open bed for routine putting around areas.

For all the people complaining about "not an American car" I pose this question - which is worse... a foreign company that employs American workers (this will be built here in the US) or an American company that employs foreign workers? I side with blue collar guys so I say that any company that employs Americans is good with me....

Furthermore, Hyundai actually makes a really nice little car... Before we got married my wife traded in her POS Ford she bought new 2 years prior and got a slightly used Tucson... I originally just thought "whatever... it's just another cracker-jack little crossover thing" - but honestly, after spending hundreds of hours in that little thing I actually began to appreciate it for what it was... 4 cylinder, AWD, safe, reliable, comfortable, easy to drive, plenty of power for what we need, big enough to fit all our military gear in, small enough to be easy to drive in crowded DC traffic, and on our road trips would get 32-34mpg.

What I'm getting at is this... not everyone needs or wants a traditional truck with their rough riding, gas guzzling, difficult to fit anywhere attributes... a smaller chassis with a small box is a good fit for a LOT of people these days.

With the global marked the whole "American made" thing is really a misnomer - you'll never find a completely "American made" vehicle - the best you can hope for is employing American workers which a lot of foreign makers like Toyota and Hyundai do --

Here's my 2 cents on HYUNDAI..... Got a VERACRUZ as my daily, 188K, all original driveline, **** original starter and radiator, air still blows cold, passes emissions, comfortable, good power, good on gas for what it is. They really stepped up their build quality mid 2000's. MOPAR equivalent would be a Journey............ ya good luck with that.

American Made in Dearborn Heights Michigan for me!

I worked for Chrysler, my job went to Mexico and the other went to Canada. I still only drive Chrysler products. You're right buying American is a good thing, but, let's get real here. I didn't sell out, global economy did. We can't hide from the world and refuse to except that companies expand through more sales and that requires more people buying their products. The world has changed and we will never go back to the old ways of doing business. You can't find a TV made here, the list goes on. 70 percent of parts on the ram are made in this country or Canada and It's number two on the list, Toyota's truck is number one. There is a market for Hyundai's and it probably will sell well, just not me.

The last time I checked (been awhile) the most AMERICAN built car was the HONDA ACCORD....... go figure

They may be built in America but who the hell knows where the parts to build them come from

Not surprise HONDA is a BIG one on this. Ya I see Tesla (predictable) but how many vs Honda's are sold.

Depends where you live. In California, the Tesla Model 3 started outselling the Civic last summer and was #1.
