I'm glad to see it is not a Kei truck. If it was a Kei truck , you would never see it meet current model year D.O.T. specs.
It has a chance here , would love to see it in the U.S. market. Too many overdone , overpriced pickups for sale here.

I didn't think this was available in the US. If it is and comes in 4x4 under 20k I will buy one

Does the cab of this truck have enough space & leg room in it to accommodate a 6 foot, 3 inch, 400 lb fat man ?  Asking for a fellow trapper !!!  w

I feel certain that Ford and GM will spend tons of money to insure that there is some regulatory bull crap put in place to keep it out of the US market.

There not gonna be available in the U.S. something with emissions I believe when I last read about them. I would be ok buying it like a mini truck for off road use. I'mn Indiana I can drive them down the road for the 25 tax. So no problem there for me. Also did I hear it right it has 1 ton halling capacity!!!! ?

But it's not 4x4. If it were, I'd be the first in line. It will be an option in the future I'm betting. Beyond emissions, safety regs, and the chicken tax (25% on vehicle made over seas) will likely keep ift from being sold here

I am sure he big 3 will be doing overtime to kill the deal.

That is one ugly truck And it looks like it would get stuck in 8 inches of snow.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I can only remember 8" if snow maybe 3 times in my life. Been getting by with a 2wd little truck for 3 years now got to know how to drive and your tools limits. 2 wd stinks but as I get older I do like 2wd hight. Easier to get things out of the bed, don't have to lift them as high to load, easier to get in and out of. I don't need high ground clearance anymore but the added traction of a locker and front wheels pulling would be nice

I don't need high ground clearance anymore but the added traction of a locker and front wheels pulling would be nice I used to have the truck that would’ve been right up your alley. 2004 Silverado, powered by a tornado, 4x4. It drove like a Cadillac and was really low compared to my old 97 F150. I called it my “grandpas truck”. Went through heck and back and I drove it into the ground. Sold it for a grand to a buddy who’ll slowly part it out.
