New Pickup Truck 2010 Pontiac G8 Sport Truck

The two-seater truck gets its flared fenders, eighteen-inch wheels and low-profile tires from Pontiac's G8 sedan. From the middle of the roof back the sedan disappears, and a truck emerges. Wrap-around taillamps and one-piece outer rear body panels give the truck a sleek appearance. Tailgate hinges are concealed, helping to maintain the clean look.

The truck's 6+ foot long bed has a composite liner and is protected by a color-coordinated soft tonneau cover.

G8 Sport Truck Powertrain

The truck is equipped with a 6.0L V-8 engine that puts out 361 hp and 385 lb.ft. of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission feeds power to the rear drive axle. GM's Active Fuel Management system controls the ignition and fuel injection systems to optimize engine efficiency and performance.

Fuel mileage estimates aren't available yet, but Pontiac recommends you fill the tank with premium gas.
