I read that it’s an AI generated hoax.

I heard it's been debunked and it was never bunk to begin with....

The first time I saw it was a few months ago.The first indication it was a complete BS story was the fact that it was introduced on utube.

A fishing expedition by CAT to investigate the market reaction?

Caterpillar hasn't made engines for on-highway use for several years. I don't recall exactly when they stopped supplying them for medium duty trucks, but it was to due to current emissions regulations for on-road diesel engines. Not that they couldn't pull it off, but it would be an expensive venture nonetheless. It's possible they might be doing some shadow market research to see if there would be strong enough interest.

I saw a variation of this based on International making a pickup.

At Purdue in the late 60's, one of the Mechanical Engineering profs drove an International Travelall to campus. They were sort of rare then. At the other end of the spectrum, a Chem prof drove a Ferrari 275 GTB occasionally.
