Freightliner is the most popular semi-truck brand in the United States, known for its heavy-duty trucks with comfort, fuel efficiency, and advanced technology. With so many fans of the company, it's no surprise that the trucking world has become invested in the rumor of Freightliner moving into the pickup truck market. A pickup with the same power and luxury as a Freightliner seems too good to be true -- and it likely is.
Unfortunately for fans of the brand, Freightliner has never confirmed (or even mentioned) plans to add a pickup to its offerings -- although some YouTubers have gone as far as to claim the CEO himself has discussed an $8,000 pickup (a rumor that has continued to spread). If there is no pickup, why are there so many images floating around online? These are the work of hopeful fans and AI -- and there are some giveaways you need to be aware of.
