Pick-up trucks are also a genre that does not have a high market share. However, as of May, sales rose 239% compared to the previous year, and the heyday came. Kia Tasman and Musso EV are leading the market with good responses at the same time.
The most popular market for pickup trucks is by far the U.S. market. Autoblog, an overseas automobile media outlet, announced the best 5 pickup trucks that are accessible due to their low price range.
The cheapest pickups also include hybrid, turbocharger, and V6 cylinder models. While small sedans and crossovers are the cheapest new cars in the U.S., some say pickup trucks are essential.
No car can follow a pickup truck for any purpose, such as towing, off-road driving, or transporting large and diverse items.However, if you can't afford the most expensive medium and large pickup truck in the United States, please refer to the cheapest pickup truck list.
Only the cheapest models of each truck were included.The prices shown below did not include the final cost and all options. First of all, Nissan Frontier is in fifth place.
is one of the three mid-size pickup trucks on the list. Nissan's Reliable Frontier Starts At Just Over $32,000 (W44.1 Million) For The Basic S Trim Kingcap
Like other frontiers, this trim features a 3.8-liter V6 engine. It exerts 310 horsepower and 38.8 kg.m of torque.It is equipped with an unauthorized transmission as a rear-wheel drive basic. Four-wheel drive is optionally matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission.For all-wheel drive specifications, the maximum towing capacity will be increased to 3,300kg.
The fourth place is Chevrolet Colorado, which starts at $31,900 (about 44 million won). Based on mid-size pickup trucks, Colorado, the cheapest, is only $150 cheaper than Frontier.
It is a Crew Cab model with two-row doors, so it is easy to get on and off the back seat.Rear wheel drive (RWD) is the basic specification and all-wheel drive (4WD) is available as an option.
The model is equipped with GM's 2.7-liter four-cylinder turbocharger engine, known as TurboMax.With 310 horsepower and 59.4 kg.m of torque, the engine overwhelms Frontier's endless transmission V6 engine.It boasts traction of up to 3,300 kg.
It's the same basic design as Frontier, but Colorado seems like a better option with crew caps, excellent torque, and improved traction.But if you want a V6 engine, Nissan is the answer.
Third place is Toyota Tacoma SR Extra Cap, which costs $31,590 (about 43.6 million won). Like Frontier, Toyota's cheapest mid-size pickup truck has the same cap layout. Toyota calls it XtraCab.
A 2.4-liter turbocharger four-cylinder engine is standard. It exerts 228 horsepower and 33.6 kg.m of torque.This is significantly lower than Nissan and Chevrolet competitors in this price range.Rear wheel drive (RWD) is standard, and four wheel drive (4WD) is provided as an option.
Tacoma is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission.The model has a traction of about 1,600 kg, less than half the Nissan and Chevrolet. With the exception of LED external lighting, Toyota does not have much better specifications than cheaper Nissan or Chevrolet.
However, the Toyota brand itself means a lot, which is the main reason for choosing this model over competing cars.
The second place is the Hyundai Santa Cruz SE model, which costs $28,750 (about 39.6 million won). The car is the first model in the compact pickup segment and also the first to have a unibody structure.The Santa Cruz of the entry level SE (limited in the picture above) has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 191 horsepower and 25 kg.m of torque.
All-wheel drive (FWD) is provided as an option by all-wheel drive (AWD). It is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.Santa Cruz with trailer brakes can tow up to about 1600kg.
However, it is much more convenient to drive than previous mid-size pickup trucks. Entering a small truck segment allows buyers to gain more capabilities at the expense of performance.
Basic applied aluminum wheels, larger infotainment screens, and sporty looks are advantages. If you don't need a lot of traction, Santa Cruz is a good model for a daily car.
Ford Maverick XL won first place. The starting price is $28,145 (about 38.8 million won). Introducing the Ford Maverick XL, the cheapest pickup truck on sale now.
The price is quite higher than before, but it's still the cheapest pickup.The basic hybrid power train is only 191 horsepower, but the combined fuel efficiency is 16.1 km/l, which is superior to other pickup trucks.
A 250 horsepower turbocharger model is also available.The model replaces the CVT with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Based on front wheel drive (FWD), small unibody trucks can be towed up to 1,800kg. However, it is only possible if the tow package is included.
The Maverick XL doesn't have as much driver support as the other trucks introduced here, but if you add $795 (about 1.09 million won), you can buy a PodcoPilot 360 pack with added features such as blind spot monitoring, rear sensors, and lane keeping warnings.
Considering its price and excellent fuel economy, it is the cheapest pickup truck in terms of purchase and operation with a hybrid powertrain.At least not until the launch of a slate electric pickup truck.
The upcoming Slate electric pickup truck is attracting attention as it predicts a lower base price than Maverick, which came in first today.
