Hyundai just announced the release of a front-wheel drive 1/8 ton micro pickup called the Tutti. It is a little less than 60 inches wide, and rides on a 93.7 inch wheelbase . It will fit in the back of a full size pickup with an 8 foot bed with the tailgate down.

For comparison purposes the Polaris Ranger is 58 inches wide and rides on an 81 inch wheelbase, but it doesn’t have an enclosed air-conditioned cab, power windows, windshield wipers, and a CD changer.

There are no plans to import this micro pickup into the US, but I can’t help but wonder if Hyundai will make a 4x4 model. Wow! Imagine riding next year’s Quads-On-The-Rocks in air-conditioned comfort, no bugs, no dust, and no heat. The heck with waiting for Kawasaki to bring out their 650cc sport-tourer, I’m there dude!

Curious? Then pick up the October issue of “Truck Trend” and turn to page 14.

Jim,

Sounds great, just think about it. You would be able to drive to your ride starting point and just continue. No stopping to unload.

Lets order two four wheel drive models.
