[http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/naias/terra_naias.html PickupTruck.Com - GMC Terradyne Concept Work Truck ] ] It was first unveiled to the public at the 2000 North American International Auto Show. One of its notable features was an onboard 5000 watt generator, which was said to put out enough power to operate an entire house.

The truck was made from durable metals like stainless steel, so that the cab could be washed out with a hose. Both back doors were designed like the back doors of a minivan, allowing them to slide backward running along the bed. It also features an extended cab pushed forward to create more room for passengers, and a truck bed that can be expanded from six feet to eight by means of an extending tailgate. [cite news
