I love (no pun intended) the idea of a compact pickup truck, but I'm not a fan of FWD pickups like the Montana. FWD and vehicles used for serious hauling don't mix because traction over the front wheels will decease as the load in the bed increase. If you only need a very light-duty FWD hauler the market currently offers the Ford Transit Connect and the Nissan NV200. GM will come out with a cargo van based on the NV200 in 2015, however no FWD pickup in NA is currently available. Perhaps a FWD pickup would sell if it was priced low enough. Maybe GM could use an AWD drive-train like the new 2015 Jeep Renegade that defaults to FWD until there is wheel slippage that will engage the rear wheel drive to provide AWD only when needed.
