Recent rumors suggest that GM wants to release a small, affordable electric pickup truck. The brand’s compact Chevrolet S10 hasn’t been sold in the United States for almost two decades – but GM could launch a similar, purely electric pickup on U.S. soil. The supposed truck would sport a ~4.5-foot-long bed, and many think it will be smaller than compact gas trucks produced by Ford and Hyundai. Most importantly, the truck is expected to retail for less than $30,000. Chevrolet’s director of affordable EV and crossover design, Michael Pevovar, explains that GM is creating the designs to “get a reaction” and will “modify it or move on.” At that price tag, let’s hope they bring this release to light asap.

Today we’re taking a look at a new waterproof tote bag, racing capsule and skeletal knives from Buck Knives. Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and news from Gear Patrol Studios. Send your most pressing product questions to [email protected].
