$9,000 Pickup by GM China Especially For The Chinese Customers

Take a glimpse at the latest GM Chinese pickup available - General Motors built a pickup with fold-down bedsides. This one will make anyone envious - it costs only $9,035 and it's available only in China. Nicknamed the Wuling Zhengtu and is powerful like a truck, it still won't be available to bring it to America, because there are further investments in taxes, and plenty of crash and emissions tests to make it available. 

This cheap pickup was built by General Motors's local joint ventures, the Zhengtu is a bit taller than the American 2021 Chevrolet Colorado, and though it's a foot shorter and narrower. This is an actual five-seat vehicle cab and a nifty bed inside of one pickup and seems like it's a comfortable one. Another ravishing feature about this vehicle is that its hinged, reinforced side can be folded down flat like a usual tailgate and is perfect for oversize loads.

But for those who don't use a pickup for transports, let's give a more common example - is similar to a 79x60-inch bed. The longest compared to any other pickup in America. This affordable pickup is powered by a 1.5-liter gas engine producing almost 99 horsepower sent to the rear wheels.

Despite its low price, there is no further information about its higher trims offering to the four-wheel-drive via its five-speed manual transmission. still, these old-school features won't be an impediment for Zhengtu to get popular and reach a top sales spot in no time.

With a real chrome-plated grille, eight-inch infotainment screen controlled y voice commands, and an interior that "meets the same noise, vibration and harshness standards as passenger cars" the Zhengtu is dubbed as a youth-type pickup truck aimed for the "new-generation lifestyle". Big plans for this cheap but lovely pick-up. It's a perfect first truck bought on your own I guess.
