It’s hard for BMW to not want to make a pickup truck
The Profit margins are crazy!!!!! Over 3 million a year in sales
The problem is Platforms, second problem is engines
BMW needs a heavy duty truck platform.... it makes more sense to partner with Toyota despite their rusty frame issues and try to dip their way into the market that way
Second problem is engines..... BMW does NOT have a heavy duty mass produced V8 engine to stick in these trucks. After the N63 woes.... no one would buy it
The only engine that may work is the diesel Inline 6.... and American Truck owners love their diesels
BMW has to make their truck SIMPLE and RELIABLE.... you want to know why people drive trucks in this country... especially when they don’t have too
They are RELIABLE.... if you buy a 2019 Ford F-150 and actually use and take care of it. It would be around still running come 2029
