Oh and we have these American utes on our roads too.
Adelaide traffic definitely isn't as congested but there are lots of selfish drivers here

I prefer driving in the country.

They sell reasonably well as It is.. IMHO

There's a Performax Dealer in the Country Town I live in, Who always has 2-3 in stock & seem to move in a Timely manner.

Main buyers seem to be;
A) Competitive Horsey types to tow their goosenecks with.

B) Larger Builders/Plumbers ect who can take 5-6 Blokes & a decent
Excavator/Trencher/Bobcat to a Job with only 1 vehicle..

Not too many buying them for shopping trolleys or School buses..

Seems like severe lack of indicators used from my experience driving around Adelaide - no toll roads which was nice

The price of these things is what's going to keep them off the radar for your average joe, they're like the Mercedes C63 AMG of tradie rigs.

If they were $75K you'd see more of them on the road.

Realistically they need to be factory RHD for this to be viable but I imagine it would cannibalize sales from Colorado and Ranger in a big way if there wasn't significant price difference.

In the USA the Ranger is seen as a bit pricey as it's not far off price of the F150.
