1 year agoHalf of Ford F-Series sales are XL work trucks for Fleets. They are still out there, just your average Joe financing a brand new truck probably wants some extra features.
I did drive a tradesman spec Ram work truck for a little over a year and actually came to like the Vinyl seats and rubber floors of it. I could get that thing filthy dirty and clean it in no more than 30 minutes.
Import it without the Bed and install it in the US. That’s what Toyota did with the original Stout/Hilux to sell them in North America. I doubt this is meeting the current FMVSS though.
The Chicken Tax gets blamed for way more damage than it actually did. Any foreign made Pickup that had an actual chance of being marketed in the US (Ie Transit Connect, Toyota Stout/Hilux, Datsun 720, Subaru Brat, Etc) was imported with minor changes to circumvent the tax.
