According to a report by Japanese publication Nikkei Asia, Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda are reportedly in talks to develop a mid-size pickup truck aimed at competing with the popular Ford Ranger.
Despite the failure of their previous joint venture a few months ago, the two Japanese rivals are still considering a partnership. Under the new plan, Nissan would use its underutilized plant in Canton, Mississippi, to build pickup trucks for Honda.

In the same vein, Stellantis is reportedly preparing its own mid-size pickup, while Hyundai is said to be on the verge of launching a similar model with assistance from GM.
