Peterbilt Pickup

My east coast buyer is based in Naples, Fla. Last week he flew to South Carolina to attend an auction for me and several other dealers he buys for.
On the return flight he sat beside a Peterbilt factory rep. The two of them started talking about the Freightliner FL series. Tongue in cheek, the rep. said to wait 6 to 8 months and Peterbilt would have a pickup on the market to compete for the RV and hauling trade. My friend said one of the things he disliked about the FL series was the flat slab dash that had no lines. The factory rep just smiled and all he would say is "Just Wait".
Just imagine, A PETERCAR PICKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....Sign me up!
Those of you that scout the trade publications, if you hear or see anything on this would you be so kind as to post it for me.
