The Renault Duster Oroch is a double cab pickup truck produced by the French manufacturer Renault for the South American market since September 2015. It has four doors, space for five passengers, a 650 kilograms (1,430 lb) load capacity and a 683 litres (150 imp gal; 180 US gal) rear volume.

It is based on the Dacia Duster SUV, with a wheelbase extended by 155 millimetres (6.1 in) and a total length extended to 4.700 metres (15.42 ft). This is the first Renault-badged pick-up and it creates a new size class for pickup trucks in terms of size, space and doors.

The Renault Duster Oroch was designed by the Technocentre Renault in France and by the Renault Design América Latina studio in São Paulo, Brazil.

The concept car Renault Duster Oroch was presented at the 2014 São Paulo Motor Show. The Renault Duster Oroch was released officially at the 2015 Buenos Aires Motor Show and has been on sale since September 2015 in South America.

The bed size is reportedly 1.175 metres (3 ft 10 in) wide and 1.350 metres (4 ft 5 in) long, and has a capacity of 683 litres (24.1 cu ft).

It is powered by either the 1.6 litre or the 2.0 litre petrol engine, mated to 5-speed or 6-speed gearbox respectively. It will get an automatic gearbox in 2016.

The Renault Duster Oroch has received several "Best Pickup Truck of the Year" awards in 2016 by Revista Autoesporte, Car and Drivers Brasil "CAR Magazin" and 10Best.
