Maybe they'll re-open the Rampage concept from a decade (or 2) ago. I had one in the eighties, but they were all two-seater 2.2L wimpy gas-hogs. Dodge isn't well known for fuel efficiency.

If I can get more amenities and more comforts, I'm willing to pay for them. That doesn't mean I want to pay more now and then continue to pay more.If you are willing to pay 60K for a truck/vehicle why does MPG even matter? ...
Rumors of the return of a 2023 Subaru BajaI've been very happy with my 2018 Subaru Outback Touring and had no intention of replacing it for the foreseeable future. That changed when
- My sister & her family moved across the country to AZ, taking their pick-up with them.
- My friend, who has mostly helped out when I've needed a truck, has announced he plans to move to ME to help care for his mother in the near future.
- My other friend who's helped has moved into an assisted living facility and his son came out from WA to pick up his pickup and took it home.
- I saw an article about the Maverick, mentioning it was a true full cabin, hybrid with an expected 40mpg and an actually usable bed.
So. *IF* my Maverick doesn't make the cut for this year ... is there any actual competition? Is there anything else under 218.5" (needs to fit in my garage) that's a true four seater, comfortable as a daily driver with a usable bed (albeit small, but large enough for yard work, dump runs, etc) and a hybrid or full EV drive train? I have absolutely no interest in the utility of a pickup truck at my current 24mpg or worse. And the Lightning, E-Silverado, E-Hummer & Cyber Truck are all simply way too big, way too expensive and way more truck than I actually need/want.
The only thing I've found so far, that barely fits my criteria, that is actually shipping is the Rivian R1T, at at least twice the cost and only an inch of clearance in my garage. If I ordered today, their forums lead me to expect delivery between the end of 2023 & early 2024.
Is there anything else? Anything even rumored?
Thanks,

Yea! Like a Chevy S-10. Bring that back and Ford can kiss my business goodbye forever. They are currently making it for Mexico and S. America, BUT, it's a midsize truck. We want a small truck. You bring that back and offer a long bed it'll sell faster than the Maverick.I'd actually like something smaller than the maverick...and if that santa cruz had only 2 doors and a longer bed...
If Chevy can compete with similar specs in the $25k - $30k range, I'd sign up today.Chevy Montana is the only rumored one but I doubt they will be 20k so not even considered competition.
If you haven't even seen a new vehicle in camo yet, IMO its too far away to be excited about.Rumors of the return of a 2023 Subaru Baja
