Just attach a trailer to the Bolt for the same function. Saw someone do this in Oakhurst California. They were towing quite a bit.
This will work but maneuvering any vehicle with a trailer in city traffic is more difficult. Can you imagine trying to parallel park with a trailer? ---or finding a parking place? Yes, I know---double park!
The huge advantage of a trailer is that you don't need to drag it around when you're not carrying a load. Most pickups I see are empty. And when you're carrying a load you're probably going direct from source to destination and not making a lot of shopping stops in between, so the need to parallel park ought to be pretty limited.
The design I submitted earlier has a stretched chassis with a longer bed. A modified standard Bolt would have a small bed.
modifying an existing Bolt would be difficult and expensive. A manufactured El Camino version would have a reinforced b-pillar and other reinforced body structure.
Ugh, yes- thank you
We converted a used 2017 Bolt as a test. But the assumption is to use new 2020 Bolts if there is market demand.
Yes, we do custom modifications on all sorts of vehicles. We did a similar cut & modify on a 1996 Land Cruiser into a world Overlander with bed pop top roof, interior with bed, stove, fridge, sink etc.
