We've been talking about this one for ages. The Korean manufacturer's good-time pickup truck will be based on a unibody chassis and designed to meet the needs of active people, much like the Honda Ridgeline has done for over a decade. The actual Hyundai pickup will get a design that’s at least somewhat different from the concept model first unveiled… back in 2015.

Currently, camouflaged prototypes are already in real-world testing on North American roads, and just this week the automaker gifted the world some official, albeit darkened, images to whet our appetites.
