Sport + Truck don't go together.

Oh well, there will be plenty of Albertans who will desire one of these.  After all, most of the pickups I've seen in this province aren't really used for their intended purpose, but more of a daily driver.  Of course, there are also plenty of trucks used for oilfield and farm work, but I'm sure most of the private ones don't really see duty for hauling.

As much as I don't like the idea of Affliction-stickered sport trucks and their sidewards hat wearing drivers, I could go for one of these for personal use. I don't really have a massive need for an extended cab and I have motorcycles to tote around.

But, I am waiting until the new midsizers arrive before making any decisions.

Pffftt...Albertans only go with lifted trucks with hitch nuts and 8 inch stacks. GM won't build this anyway, they seem to leave the sport truck market for Ram and Ford. This is just a big tease, I could imagine this thing really moves.

Truck is to sport what intelligence is to military.  And yet I am not dissuaded by the oxymoronic sport truck.  I like it.

you mean "sport" is an essential part of being a truck?  ;D :rofl2:

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

Oooohhhhh, I like it......if I lived somewhere with no or a pretend winter, this would be perfect to haul the boat to the beach or the race car around.
Lighten up Francis.....

But it is OK for your reviewers to wear a backwards ball cap  ??? :stick:

I do not understand the hate for a sport truck , but it ok a small sport car like a s2000, both only carry 2 people
Drive what you like
As for the name Cheyenne reminds of a basic cheap work truck

Cheyenne part I dont get either, that has always traditionally been their lowest trim line, besides W/T. This thing isnt made to conquer M3s at Laguna Seca, its made for people that want a good looking truck to do a little work here and there.

Ding ding....SS would be cool, with no displacement this as the 370 whatever cubic inches doesnt sound as threatening as the old 454  ;D

6.2L V8 powered pickup will debut at SEMA on November 4

Isn't it curious that, at a time when sport teams are under pressure to drop team nicknames with aboriginal refernces, auto makers still use the same monikers?  Don't the protesters see the cars and trucks, too?
