The 10 Most Astonishing Pickup Trucks In The World

Yesterday we brought you news that Nissan engineers had built this funky little electric-powered pickup truck by merging a Leaf with a Frontier bed.

You guys loved the idea of this unlikely mashup just as much as we did, which got us thinking: what are the rarest, most unlikely pickups in existence? Our search led us to everything from rare pickups straight from the factory, to weird and wonderful mashups created by inspired engineers. Here are 10 of our favourite discoveries:

2. BMW E28 5-Series

3. Mini 'Red Bull' Pickup

4. Ferrari 412

5. Subaru Impreza

6. Lamborghini LM002

7. VW Type 2 Flatbed

Light pickup trucks like the Type 2 are incredibly rare in America thanks to the Chicken Tax, which places limits on the import of such vehicles. The tax is incredibly outdated, with many calling for it to be removed from legislature.

8. Canadian Tire Ice Truck

9. Nissan 180SX

10. Volvo 240
