Volkswagen might build a small pickup and if they do it will be electric:

"Karl Brauer, executive analyst at iSeeCars.com, says VW is having more success in building its crossover lineup. He said introducing a pickup like the Tarok or Tanoak concepts probably proved too great a risk.

"Pickups are a completely unproven entity for them," Brauer said. "They could do a truck, and it probably wouldn't crash and burn, but given the investment and resources, investing into another [crossover] was probably safer."

Keogh, speaking to Automotive News in 2019 about the Tarok, said: "The question we have is, could something like this make sense, with modifications, in the U.S. market? The theory is quite straightforward: It's an A-segment-sized vehicle. There's no pickup truck in the U.S. market that is quite that size at all."

that would be amazing! I wish we got those in the US.

Too late- Lightning, CyberTruck, Maverick, Toyota, Nissan, Ram sooner or later, GM. VW doesn't have a pickup truck following like the others in NA, IMO.

I said yes but that would depend on winning the lottery and favorable specs.

If they name it "Turok" they won't have any issues.

Picture/rendering looks like a lifted Subaru Baja…

Looks aside, what @BlueDH said. Ford is king of that hill and their EV truck offering(s) thus far seem pretty compelling.

I heard the F-150s have a serious undercarriage rust issue.

VW is WAY too risk adverse lately. This is why we don’t have the ID3 in America. I suppose diesel gate left their coffers a bit depleted 🤷🏻‍♂️

ID.3 please!

 

[BlueDH]

ID.3 please!

AWD ID.3 82kW battery with all the options 😁.
ID.3 GTX Wolfsburg Edition.
It would break sales records in NA.

I think VW would have more sucess if they made a pickup version of the ID.Buzz than going for a traditional pickup to go against the likes of Ford and other truck makers.
