GMC Terradyne
The GMC Terradyne is a concept truck made by GMC in 2000, designed for heavy industrial use.[2] It was first unveiled to the public at the 2000 North American International Auto Show. One of its notable features is an onboard 5000 watt generator, which was said to put out enough power to operate an entire house.[3]

The truck is made from durable metals like stainless steel, so that the cab can be washed out with a hose. All four doors are designed to slide backwards and forward (much like minivan doors) rather than to swing outwards.[1] 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.[4]
