2025 Caterpillar Pickup

(I’ve seen so many different stories and different images, I don't know if this thing is real or not. If the stories are true it would be a nice truck.)

On paper, the Caterpillar Pickup checks all the boxes but one big one. On the positive side it is an automotive marvel. It is really good looking and has a far more classic pickup truck appearance than the Tesla Cybertruck monstrosity. It is designed for work but looks really nice. It has impressive ground clearance, built-in step rail, a really nice functional truck bed with multiple 120-volt plugs, an engineering wonder of a tail-gate that splits horizontally, decent (for a truck) aerodynamics, an integrated hidden winch, a huge cab, and some interesting power options that include a 500 HP diesel with 1,000 lb. of torque, a hybrid version with 450 HP and 600 lb. of torque with an optimal 40-mile electric range, and an electric version with 600 HP and 850 lb. of torque (available at 0 RPMs) and up to 300 miles of range.
Other features include Caterpillar’s sophisticated thermal management system assuring the truck never overheats, exhaust braking typically not something you get on a pickup truck, class-leading gas efficiency for the diesel and gas engine options, a heads-up display for the instruments, an impressively nice interior, generative AI voice command system with natural language processing (you don’t have to learn the commands), 360-degree cameras, load adaptive control that automatically adjusts the suspension depending on load, an advanced level 2+ self-driving similar to Tesla, an automatic crash detection and response system which will work even if you don’t have cell phone service (satellite) and it works with the engine immobilizer preventing theft, and impressive performance.
Performance for the V8 diesel gives a decent 5.5 second 0-60, while the electric version gives a sports car level 4 second 0-60 time. Both the electric and hybrid versions have one of the most advanced regenerative braking systems in the world. Given this is a segment-leading offering pricing starting at $65K is surprisingly reasonable though you can get up to $90K pretty fast depending on how you option the truck out.
