Who is going to buy the new Chevy classic pickup truck?

[NoDecision]

You have an extra $65 K laying around. They come with an electric version too.

[Phoenix98]

No for two reasons.

1# I actually already own a genuine classic Chevy Silverado.

2# The truck in the video is not a classic pickup truck it's a modern truck made to look like a classic truck but it is not a classic. It'd be around 2055 before it could be considered one. But for a number of factors that probably will never be the case.

Also a classic car or truck is defined by it's age for something to be considered a classic it has to be so many years old. Something that a brand new vehicle isn't.

[NoDecision]

It's not a classic truck, it is a modern rendition of one.

[Phoenix98]

I know.

[ohsheeT]

That is cool. In August where I live., Every year they hold hot August nights. And there's over 3000 cars old cars classic cars that show up. It's gonna be to see if the new chevy pickup shows up this year

[ohsheeT]

So is that a 2025. Or 26

[ohsheeT]

As a step side looks kind of like part 1948 and 1956.

The long bed looks like a 72

[NoDecision]

2026 I think. It says in the video.

[NoDecision]

At @ohsheeT Hot August Nights? Is the music played there from Grease?

[ohsheeT]

Yes sorry I didn't know there was a video after I answered. I seen it. And as far as music yes there will out door Concerts with fifties and sixties music and greece... every kind of car show and there will be drag races. At night's cruising main street and every other streets. Swap meets with car parts. Every type of food. I think I go's on for 5 to 7 days

How far does an electric engine take a pick-up? Especially if hauling weight? lol

[NoDecision]

Guess it depends on the batteries and if they are fully charged or not.

[Opinion Owner]

They must have figured it out.

[NoDecision]

You might think, but just look at all the problems EV have these days and how their batteries can burst into flames. What they need is an electric fire truck to deal with those, but it might burn up on the way to a fire.

[Opinion Owner]

Demand. Deadlines. Rush to be the first. Quality and care are both lost.

[Finchie40]

It is cool looking , but I will take a Camaro or a corvette instead

[Surely]

I think that I will pass on that one. You would look great driving one!
I wish Ford would come out with a seventies restro pickup. I need body parts for my 78 F 250 4X4

[Notherndude84]

I actually hate pick up trucks these days. They’re too big and too expensive for the average person driving them. The marketing departments of Ford, GM, Toyota and Ram sells the idea of strength and manhood through ownership of such stupid vehicles.

[NoDecision]

But why buy a truck when you can't carry anything in it? I laugh at these part truck, part SUV vehicles with the real short beds. What were they thinking? They may as well have bought a Chevy Suburban or something.

[exitseven]

It is really awesome looking but I imagine that all the cool things that made older vehicles so good have been left off.

[Notherndude84]

I remember a pickup truck having an 8’ box, single cab and a bench seat. Pick ups are now expensive luxury vehicles for urban dwellers trying to be macho.

[exitseven]

@Notherndude84 The summer before I went to college I built swimming pools. The owner drove a tricked out 1962 Chevy Apache pickup truck. He dropped a 350 Camaro engine in it and a 4 ssp transmission and Hurst shifter. There was no mistaking this for luxury car.

[Notherndude84]

Utility has all but disappeared, I mean does a working man have $100,000 to drop on a pickup truck?

It’s completely stupid

[exitseven]

@Notherndude84 I have a Ford F-150. V-8 engine and 10 speed automatic. 2 speed transfer case and locking rear axle. it does not have a lot of bells and whistles but it tows a big trailer and goes good on the beach,

[Notherndude84]

I had a mostly base model 2010 F-150 XLT trim level, I got it 2 years old for $19,000 km. Talk about the good old days.

[exitseven]

@Notherndude84 yes, I plan on keeping my 2019 until I die.

[NoDecision]

@exitseven Like what things? People who build resto-rods always improve the insides with modern gauges and sound systems. Companies build radios that look like old AM radios on the outside, but are really a modern sound system complete with touch screen and GPS.

[slatyb]

All the American car companies lost me as a customer when they were producing shitty cars but the Japanese cars would run 200,000 miles.

[NathanDavis]

damn... my ex would love that one

[NoDecision]

Since they are a limited edition you just know the dealers are going to put a big markup on them. So forget the $65K. They probably will be near $100K

[NathanDavis]

most likely, yes...

personally, I prefer this other gem... but the price tag is twice of what I would be comfortable with, conscience wise... lmao

[Staximus]

There's no rear bumpers on either truck which is really stupid

[Staximus]

And those aren't new trucks.

[NoDecision]

@staximus that is common on custom trucks. But, I wonder if it will fly because it has to meet Federal safety standards for bumpers and mirrors, as well as other things this truck lacks..

[Staximus]

I think that's some bullshit fake video, one truck is a 1953 and the other is a 1957.

[NoDecision]

It could be fake. The video said Chevy was bringing back the look with a modern drivetrain. It may be someone's custom rod that they built and they are bullshitting everyone.

[LiamS95]

Very nice but I prefer the Ford pick up trucks.

[Jeff51]

How can a classic chevy be new? I'm not buying it.

[Anonymous]

Another eyesore for the road.

[NoDecision]

I'd take it over your Tesla Truck monstrosity. 😅😎

[Iron_Man]

Looks great 👍

[NoDecision]

They do have a nice look.

[Iron_Man]

Yes they sure do

[Anonymous]

I would, but I don't have the money.

[NoDecision]

Join the party.

[nawtee_me]

Not a Chevy kind of guy…..

[WonderingManII]

I'm not.

[hello4433]

Not me
