John Deer Enters The Pickup Truck Market

[Keystone19250]

Let’s see how this works out for the iconic farm tractor maker.

Ok after a little more research the bottom line is this is happening however with a price tag of $250,000 the market is saturated with trucks that will do same type of work for a LOT less.

I want mine to have the Supreme logo instead of the deer.

These should be at least double the MSRP.

I see these going on Ebay in about ten years. "Still in box."

If you say so. Somehow I doubt many shoe collectors are that strong into John Deere. And I don't think they will be limited production enough to drive prices like that

But, hey who knows.

I like the looks of it but for that price that has to be an April fools joke.

What next, a 12 oz capacity p/u from Bud Light?

Is this for real? I want a Springfield Armory truck with firing ports in the doors and a fighter jet type HUD on the drivers side windshield so I can pretend I’m engaging those “NDFs” ( Non Driving F**KS )

Sounds like it’s a Ford or they are at least using their engines. 6.7 power stroke or 3.5 twin turbo (eco boost). John Deere couldn’t come up with their own Diesel engine to use?

Years ago I worked for a truck leasing company. One of our customers had the contract to deliver John Deere parts from the main warehouse to the dealerships. At the time, most of our rental/lease fleet was International Harvester trucks. This customer refused to use them as they were the competition. So we bought six new GMC trucks for them to use.

My father worked at the International Harvester foundry in Memphis for 33 years. While growing up, John Deere were dirty words in my house. Never to be mentioned.

I grew up in the Springfield, Ohio area when IH was still making pick-up trucks ( and the Scout). The IH pick-up's were very popular with the Farmers in the area. As I recall they seemed to rust out worse than other brands but that may have been a result of hauling fertilizer.

It could be, never thought that, mostly because I have known about the shoe and boot lines for a few months. I just figured they doing more product branding with the truck lol.

That’s pretty cool but that’s a steep price tag. Don’t laugh. Michelin at one time was doing something with “safety” boots. They were pretty comfortable and held up to extremely high heat on the soles (steel mill) from what I recall.

I just want my old International Scout back, from my hi school days .

 

[Talyn]

Looks like a rebranded Chevy/GMC.

I remember when I was growing up an older guy my dad knew had a collection of surplus military vehicles he and his WW2 buddies restored.
I wanted to drive the Power Wagon. My mom said I was too young. (Don’t tell her but I drove it).
The IH Scout was his daily driver

It’s not happening; no words at all on this from JD, and I guaran-freaking-tee you, the promo “sneak preview” model would NOT be red.

Additionally, the logo on the faceplate is NOT the JD leaping deer…it’s been modified just enough to keep whoever made this from getting sued into oblivion for copyright infringement.
