They won't bring it in because they know that "big truck" sales would suffer.Not for NA market, sigh, I'd even gladly pay the chicken tax. I would get one in a heartbeat. Basic truck, no frills. Just what I like.

Fixed that for you.A VW Passat r36 wagon is all I would need.
Fantastic vehicle, seems Toyota knows what their customers want. As stated we'll never see it. You can't have a "work" truck unless it is worth over $100,000 in North America.

Those are great and I wish we had more options of the 'no frills' truck variants.Nothing beats the compact utilitarianism of the tiny pick-ups in Japan. They call them "kei trucks" and they're everywhere:
A guy imports this stuff and has it for sale in London Ont. As for nothing beats them...most have tiny motors that would suck on the 400 series.Nothing beats the compact utilitarianism of the tiny pick-ups in Japan. They call them "kei trucks" and they're everywhere:
Similar power to a TRX that starts at $100k in Canada. Batteries are expensive. Maybe 125 to start? It's hard to find a use case where this is economically viable. It is early adopter and greenwashing only.New 2025 Ramcharger
This is probably going to be heavier than the hummer EV...
But, it does solve the problems everyone has with truck EVs, while still getting the benefits.
Only other problem is that its a RAM...
Driving in a left hand drive country do they experience more accidents?hate right hand drive.
Turning left at a light really sucks (or anywhere where you have someone oncoming waiting to turn and blocking your view). I tend to track a little further left too so I can still see oncoming traffic. Still on my side of the line but maybe closer to the line than with LHD? Hard to tell, the car is so small, maybe not. Otherwise, it doesn't feel much different. I can't imagine there are enough around to run accurate stats on.Driving in a left hand drive country do they experience more accidents?
Can relate. My first vehicle was a 91 F150 with the 300ci straight 6. Loved that thing!I had a 1983 S15. It was practical and economical. Then for 19 years I drove a F150 with the bullet proof 300 straight six and 5 speed O/D transmission, that would pull like a tractor. My now 15 year old F150 has a pushrod V6, a standard O/D tranny, hand crank windows and an 8 foot box. I can get 23 miles per gallon or better, under ideal conditions. I guess I'll have to make it last forever.
This seems to offer a plausible explanation as to why we can no longer get the practical trucks we want.
