Ever since Hyundai announced that it would introduce a body-on-frame truck for the American market – previewed in some form by the Boulder concept – the idea of a newcomer pickup hasn’t seemed quite as far-fetched as it once did. Typically, the Americans have dominated the full-size segment with machines like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram 1500, while the midsize segment is the domain of Japan’s vaunted Toyota Tacoma. But alongside Hyundai, Volkswagen Group of America is apparently considering making a move into the pickup space, although Teutonophiles shouldn’t celebrate just yet as no decisions have been made.
