Maverick challenger from Hyundai?

[Timothyd]

Kind of reminds me of the VW bus.

That's what I was thinking of. A good friend had one when I was younger.

Now Hyundai is posting this photo of their proposed truck project. Who’s running their advertisement campaign?

This version shows a model F550 which I never heard of. The Porter II is and EV commercial truck the H-100 is a commercial diesel. If they keep throwing design pics out there they may get a hit and go with it!
someone messed up the exhaust with this version.

This would be lighter stronger and easier to park. This could also be design to have the rear wheels closer to the middle of the bed. If required by law this would encourage drivers to be more careful in their driving practices. Done this way the maverick could have a 7 foot bed in its 201 inch footprint with no weight gain.

It might be more palatable if the bow tie was removed...

In all seriousness Hyundai has a confirmed they are developing a new Body on frame mid sized truck for the U.S. market and we should see it by 2030.. It will be more a Tacoma competitor than a Maverick competitor though.

To quote the article:
"Hyundai doesn’t really mess around when it says it’s going to do something."
Hmmm.
It also doesn't mess around when it says it's going to stop doing something, like when it suddenly decided to cancel the Santa Cruz, which started production about the same time as the Maverick, but while the Cruz landed in the '26 cancel bucket, the Maverick got the Truck of the Year award...

The Kia (Version) Tasman is already available for a test drive where I live.

I’d choose the Ranger/Amarok.

The Hyundai looks like a TACO want a be. No competition to the Maverick.

Never seen a triple offset exhaust system before. AI still isn't very good at details.
