The Mini-Truck War Heats Up

Chevrolet Cheyenne To Return As Ford Maverick Fighter?

A recent trademark suggests that it might.

For the first time in decades, the small pickup truck market is about to be saturated with options. Hyundai just released the sharp Santa Cruz with Tucson styling, and Ford will soon release a truck positioned below the Ranger called the Maverick. It's too soon to predict how large this market could become; still, a major truck manufacturer like General Motors should consider building something smaller than the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. According to a new filing with the USPTO, it might be.

GM recently filed a trademark for the name "Cheyenne." The registration is "intended to cover the categories of motor land vehicles, namely, trucks." Anyone familiar with GM will likely recognize the Cheyenne name, and there are several different routes the company could take with this application.

That Chevy is ugly as sin.

Meh. I miss the old rangers. The new rangers are too big and curvy for the little engines in them. Practically the size of an f150. The new maverick does little to impress me either. Bring me back to the days of square body single cab long bed stick shift 4x4 pickups with rolly windows

It's weirdly fitting that they named that truck after my home town with how utterly hideous it looks.

They should just bring the SSR back. That thing is hideous.

I saw the “Ram” Dakota might be a thing to compete w/the Colorado, Canyon and Ranger (Tacoma?). I wonder when Ram releases their own small truck entry?

I wouldn’t call these mini trucks. They probably all seat 5 people.

 

[JaxGtc]

That should have name the Chevrolet a Koala. Then again, there isn't much cute about that thing.

This concept is from 2003. If a new Cheyenne did come out, it would look nothing like this. It would be a Blazer with a truck bed at best. Probably a Trailblazer.

Y'all realize this is just some artist render of what they imagine the cheyenne would look like right? It's not actually what it would look like.

Standard cab 80s rangers or the little Sasquatch courier for me... with newer suspension and all

Thank you, added note:

It was very real. They just built one of them.
