Renault Alaskan Concept
Renault is previewing a new global truck due Q1 2016 through this Alaskan concept.
The Duster Oroch double cab pickup truck is only a Latin America affair, but the good news is Renault is planning an international pick up truck in 2016 when the production version of this concept will be launched. It's currently being described as a "work hard, play hard" all-road vehicle designed for business and leisure use, as well as for everyday motoring.
As expected, it has received the typical oversized alloy wheels which in this case measure 21 inches. It also hosts full LED technology for the headlights and taillights while power comes from a four-cylinder, longitudinally-mounted twin-turbodiesel sourced from the Master range. Although not specified in the press release, the model will likely have a lot in common with the Nissan Navara as the shape of the body clearly shows similarities with the model offered by Renault's partner and the production version will likely look even more like the Navara.
Interestingly, it has been equipped with a camera mounted within the door mirror housings for the purpose of recording the scenery while in the back there's a load bed big enough to host mountain bikes, camping gear, surfboards and other similar items. Its satin-effect brushed paint has been combined with polished metal accents as well as blue and yellow detailing for the mirrors, front tow hook, brake calipers and wheel rim centers.
Renault says the production product will be "similar in spirit" with the Alaskan concept and will have the same size. In addition, the model won't be limited to a double cab configuration as the utilitarian vehicle is going to be offered in several body styles once it will go on sale in the first half of next year and it will provide a maximum payload of 1,000 kg.
