The compact truck segment is experiencing a resurgence, with the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz proving popular. Rumors suggest Ram might join the fray with a US version of the Rampage, though Ram remains tight-lipped. While General Motors offers compact pickups globally, they've stated they won't be introducing them to the American market.
Chevrolet currently sells the Montana compact pickup truck outside the US.
GM believes American customers are better served by body-on-frame trucks like the redesigned Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, emphasizing their capability, modifiability, off-road prowess, and durability. These midsize trucks are larger than the Maverick and Santa Cruz and utilize a different chassis construction.
The Chevrolet Colorado, built on a body-on-frame platform, represents Chevy's smallest truck offering in the US.
While a compact truck isn't in GM's US plans, they are exploring a smaller electric pickup concept. This mini-truck, featuring a 4-4.5 foot bed, is currently undergoing customer feedback sessions. GM acknowledges the possibility that this concept might be too small for the current platform, but it could be suitable for a different architecture in the future.
The GMC Granite compact pickup concept never reached production.
