What is a crossover pickup? A pickup with no pickup features?
Back over 45-60 years ago Ford and Chevy sold quite a few cars with a pickup bed in place of the back seat and trunk area. And often the volume of the bed was larger than the same year pickup. Floor of bed closer to ground, so less lifting to load. Often better than a pickup for relocating your home.
Before WWII the where some models called businessman's delivery coupe. A near pickup bed sized box would slide out of the trunk.
For a while, among working people, if the people area was bigger than the cargo area, it ain't a truck.
I had 2 El Caminos, both of them would haul....................a$$
I agree. I am just disappointed Elon touted this as a bad %$# truck to replace the F150/Ram. But offers nothing a truck buyer is looking for. At least the El Camino and Ranchero offered something the Pick-ups didn't or unique.
GM had something similar to El Camino in that Aus Holden UTE while back which was very popular there,
but their big ego or stupidity made them kill it
