GM's newest pickup costs $9,000
 

....and turns into a flatbed But you can't buy one in the U.S.

To my jaded eye, it looks like a crew-cab Transporter with a hood stuck on the front.

What happens to the orange grab handles?

Based on the same underpinnings of the microvans available as Chevrolet N400 in some Latin American countries.

Yes, I like this very much.

Get ready to move to China. There's not a snowball's chance in hell this will come to the US. Not just from the safety requirement aspect but from economics. Why sell a $9k truck when they're already selling $40k+ trucks like hot cakes?

I wouldn't say snoballs chance because I have tried to source and buy parts and manuals for many of other similar Chinese vehicles that my employer surplussed from various US of A government entities. Might take ten years....... and can you say Wuling from Shenzhen Guangdong china?

For an NEV, maybe. For this truck? 25 years.

I would consider the economics more relevant than the safety requirements as to why it wouldn't have real chances to make its way there. Eventually it could replace the Brazilian-made Tornado in Mexico, but I would also not really hold my breath for that.

I received a notification for a Shouty video that actually posted 2 days ago.

Then I found this thread.

Wuling also has a $4,400 electric car: https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyl...ar-tesla-china

Which basically resembles the cabin of this truck bolted to a go-kart chassis with a drilling machine motor.

Perfect! :)

Home Depot rents trucks that fold down like that, but the sides fold 180°. A larger bed like that may be useful, but where could you drive around like that outside of a farm?
