@@Dongzzzzzz The problem is that the dealers in Australia make a lot of money from regular HiLux sales, so they don't want to introduce a vehicle (with lower profit margin) that might take sales away from the higher profit margin Hilux's.
@adventureicecream oh yeah, that makes sense. But they could also look at it at a different way. Instead of cannibalizing the sales of the hilux, it may invite more consumers who don't really have the funds to spend on a hilux but yeah you're right. Cannibalizing the sales of the hilux is more likely to happen.
Will never see them in the US, people would actually buy them. I have a 1999 S10 in my driveway, and I literally get a random person knocking on my door and wanting to buy it monthly.
I'm in the states and I miss when had small picks up like the old Ranger. I know we'll never get the Champ over here, but I wish! It's the perfect size and so affordable!
I wish this came to my country. We need a work pick up, not a luxury expensive one. Come on, Toyota, that truck looks great and you guys make vehicles made to last
Oh mate, this is the truck that I want! Finally a truck company LISTENED to the people and built what they needed! Now we just need Toyota Australia and USA to start importing these bad boys.
Those tires, those wheels, that color, just compliments that truck so nicely. Listen to me Toyota, the international customers want these, and they want them now!
We want these in the US oh,so badly. Just to have a brand new Toyota for $10,000ish US dollars of any kind and especially this truck right here,knowing it's going to run for 700,000 miles if taken care of,makes my mostly empty wallet itch.
You do this to torture us here in the United States where we will never this this wonderful truck! Thanks to our country’s import and safety regulations we are denied such a great vehicle and we are stuck with these huge ultra expensive monster trucks. 😉
The only reason why Toyota didn't introduce this to western markets is because it would undercut sales of their other utility vehicles. This truck is made in right-hand drive only for a reason.
