Pickup version spotted today in Graz

[Shopkeep]

Love the practicalities of the dual cab ute
(Pickup) - but I can’t like the look of it. The tray looks way out of proportion to the front of the vehicle and doesn’t look balanced - it’s looks like an afterthought.

Agree, would look better without the bar work but then the rear overhang is still too long. Needs the awning/tarp cover to make it look kosher.

I am a pick-up man over a 4x4 but I don’t prefer the pick up over the original IG. It reminds me of a defender 130 in proportions which I love, but I just can’t put my finger on why it doesn’t click with me.

I would like to see one with a back on, I think that would probably change my mind.

Single cab will look much better

I’d be keen on a single chassis cab version for a camper build

I have a BMW 1200GSA (over 7 feet long (87”), total length) and also owned a pickup with a 5.5’ bed, and from the pics of the ute, that would be tight fit. It would certainly be with the tailgate down, if it could fit at all, with the added complication of if the tailgate can accommodate the weight.

FWIW, I never put my bike in the bed. It was easier to trailer it, which happened rarely. Riding a 700lb bike ($25,000) up a narrow ramp into a short bed has a lot of downsides.

This article references 150k global reservations, and not pickup

In fact, that's ten times the numbers I've heard so far.

Wouldn't be the first time a zero too much would appear in the news ...

I find colors play tricks on us and this color makes it look unbalanced. The white version makes it look normal.

The profile is ok, but the back end looks pretty bad IMO. Those taillights look great on the SW, the pickup not so much.

I have never heard any mention of a single cab version on a long wheelbase
Only a 2 door short version (D90) but that seems to always be linked to electric.

I wish it was just a colour issue …in my opinion it’s not.

Windscreen looks like it's got the new tech requirements:

As in the bit on the middle-top of the glass? Do you think that's for lane warning-type stuff?

Could also be for rain sensing wiper system

You find all the good stuff. Come on Ineos make the initial launch here in US with Pricing on May17?

Well the tech requirements that are mandatory plus maybe some that aren't...

A camera for traffic sign recognition looks similar.

Unfortunately I can’t see it coming to the US ( I would be all over it) with the 25% “chicken tax” applied to all foreign built trucks.

 

[DCPU]

Are there ways around the chicken tax?

It would be funny if Ineos borrowed a play out of the old Land Rover book and shipped CKD (Completely Knocked Down) kits.

 

[ADVAW8S]

Ship it without the bed. The install bed state side

 

[DCPU]

Do Magna contract build anything currently in the States?
