In the United States, after presenting the 2024 Collector's Edition and ZL1 Garage 56 farewell to the 2024 Camaro, Chevrolet is currently preoccupied with explaining why the $40k Silverado EV is most likely as dead as the dinosaurs.
But why are we talking about something sporty and a workhorse simultaneously? Well, simply put, mainly because it seems like the design direction adopted by the company's recent SUVs is precisely a blend between the inherent sportiness of muscle and sports cars mixed with the practicality of something you would take to work five days per week and then do the groceries during the weekend.
Of course, only some people like the style of the latest 2024 Trax, Trailblazer, Equinox, or Blazer crossover SUVs. Some fans clearly lament the days when the TrailBlazer and K5 Blazer were tough off-road focused SUVs that could bash dunes and climb rocks all day and night long. Well, it seems like Chevrolet is unwilling to settle their queries with stuff that could proudly fight against the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, or Toyota 4Runner SUVs.
So, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators has come up with a neat alternative – how about a Chevrolet Trax-based unibody compact pickup truck that would attack not just the stylish Hyundai Santa Cruz but also the best-selling throne of the electrified 2023 Ford Maverick? And, yes, we know about the third-generation, four-door Chevrolet Montana that was introduced late last year on the same GEM platform as the Chevy Tracker crossover.
But that one is exclusively offered in South America and has no chance of jumping regions anytime soon. Thus, with that in mind, Kleber Silva, the Brazil-based virtual artist known as KDesign AG on social media, has decided to have a CGI go at imagining an unlikely Chevy Trax pickup truck design project. And, frankly, it looks miles better than the South American Chevy Montana (hey, it even got a 'Grand Montana' nickname from the author), as it brings a "fusion of urban style and robustness (that) promises to (be) a unique option to the compact pickup segment."
The only problem is that this "project artwork" is not only based on the 2024 Trax (which is an attractive, cheaper alternative to the first-ever Buick Envista) but also steals most of the virtual DNA from the recently introduced Ram Rampage unibody compact pickup truck presented for Brazil. And as such, that makes it impossible to even dream for a second that Chevrolet would ever morph the tiny Trax into a North American-based compact pickup truck able to duke it out with the popular Ford Maverick, which is quite unfortunate, indeed.
