GMC Denali XT Hybrid Concept Truck: The Caballero Is Back...In Concept (http://jalopnik.com/351897/gmc-denali-xt-hybrid-concept-truck-the-caballero-is-backin-concept)
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/stills/GMCshrimp_Jalopnik.flv.jpgThis is it. It's called the GMC Denali XT Hybrid Concept Truck, and this unibody rear-wheel drive Australian professional grade car-truck action set to be unveiled this week at the Chicago Auto Show (http://jalopnik.com/tag/chicago-auto-show/) is making us excited in a way we haven't been since we saw the first episode of My Name Is Earl. And why shouldn't we be? Everyone knows the El Camino had a GMC version called the Sprint Caballero! GM, knowing of our love of all things car with a truck-bed allowed us, along with the fellow lovers of all things El Camino at PickupTruck.com (http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/autoshows/chicago2008/gmc/denalixt/page1.html), the opportunity to go behind the scenes in sunny Southern California for an exclusive with the design team and some one-of-a-kind photos of this unique Aussie import. When we accepted the invite to attend (at our own expense of course) we were expecting to see nothing more than a re-badged four-door Holden Crewman updated to the current VE architecture. Cool, but nothing more than what you'd expect from a leader in re-badging. Instead what we got was stunning, jaw-dropping and mind-blowing. So grab a shrimp off the Barbie above and settle in for the full story below the jump, mate!
