3 New Brands JUST Entered The Pickup Truck Game & SHOCKED Everyone!

[@GarageHeads]

What Is Your Favorite one?

[@gregorybarth930]

I like the CAT but where are the dealerships and where do you get maintenance? The Freight liner M2 has been around a long time nothing new here..and you've got the price way wrong...and yes you need a CDL to drive it. The KIA, (Killed in Action) smaller gas engines, putting a turbo on a gas engine does boost HP but generally hurts longevity. And the short bed makes it a no-go for real truck jobs.

Actually, if you look it up, it does say that Freightliner is releasing a pickup, I assume the same one cause it looks the same, for $8,000. I immediately thought what you did and went and looked to see if he just totally misread the price cause I assumed it would be around 80,000 myself lol.

[@andrewdixon3538]

Very good except that, there is absolutely no way the freightliner truck is $8000. That’s less expensive than a golf cart!!! The Cummins diesel and a transmission is more than eight grand without the rest of the truck! Starts at 38,000 maybe for the base model. Get your details correct.

[@michaelcschmitt]

Cummins is 6,000 as an option n a Ram

[@Mike-f5r]

retired engineer from Freightliner, more like $100,000.00 for the Freightliner truck. We made a few units like this "Pioneer" for customers to pull 5th wheel campers or special trailers for dragsters. No way $8,000.00, pure cow manure on that price.

​@@Mike-f5rbut then again, this could be some kinda publicity stunt for some reason of some sort. Tho you'd think if so all that would do would just piss everyone off when they say 8,000 and then it comes out and is like 10x that price. But sure enough on the Google search it clearly says "Freightliner CEO shocks everyone with releasing Pickup truck for the price of $8,000". I just felt like there had to be a typo somewhere or something was misunderstood. But tbh, that isn't a bad idea cause if they do it Id assume they'd prolly sale a bunch of those MFS for thwt price or youd sure assume so anyways.

How about Ford release a new full size truck, built off of the old OBS chassis, with the base F-150 being a 2wd, standard cab, long bed, with the legendary 300 I6, a bit updated for modern emissions, and safety standards, with a manual transmission, and price that said base model truck at $15,000

I really like the specs, features, price of the KIA. But I'm still very hesitant to get one. I know that their overall quality and reliability has gone up over the years, but we had a very unpleasant issue with my girlfriend's 2016 Sorento. She bought it new, was keeping up with regular recommended service, but the engine seized up after only just over 3000 miles and just over a year old. This was a common issue, and Kia/Hyundai were extremely backlogged on replacement engines. We were given a 2-3 year estimate for repairs. Even being part of the class action lawsuit wasn't helping. She ended up suing her way out out of her obligations to continue paying for the vehicle, and Kia had to pay all of her court costs, legal fees, and refund her what she had invested in the vehicle. Supposedly all of those issues are resolved with Kia vehicles, but they lost our trust for now. I really want that CAT! Planning on trading my RAM in for one when they become available!
