Trucks we don’t see in the US

And I personally like the look of the VW.

 

You're on point!
they all start looking the same that's why people like to MOD their vehicles to make it different.. But what looks good tend to be the most popular "Pro grill -18' headlights color match - chrome delete"

 

The Amarok is bad ass. My brother-in-law had one and I love it. I won't necessarily trade the Tundra for one, but it will be a very close second choice.

 

Remember the Subaru Brat

 

I had one of these when I was in El Salvador, back in 95 (Fuetes Caminos).
Nissan Patrol Diesel.

 

Not a truck. Russian Lada Niva 4x4. I had this for about a year in Panama. I paid $50 to another soldier going back to the states. I sold it for $100 when I came back to the states. Not my picture, ripped from google.

 

Anybody remember the dodge rampage?

 

Still a Subaru guy at heart. Still have my WRX which I've had for 15 years.

 

Wanted to buy one in my early years but was in the military overseas!

 

Looks like mini Avalanche

 

By far my favorite truck of all: Toyota Land Cruiser. They actually are ugly trucks, but they are built to last (the reason why all the terrorists use them along Hilux's to run through the dessert and anywhere else nothing else can go.)


These things have tamed Africa, and many other places over the world. Many of them running with more than a million miles with minimal mechanical issues.
I especially like the original old style ones.

 

I'd buy one. IDK how ugly that is, it's bulletproof.

 

Nope, rumor is Ford is bringing the courier (or some version of it) to the US too. Sometime after the Ranger and Bronco are re-released. Part of their future "no more cars, all trucks" sales model.

"Mini" trucks lost their market here because as the grew and were offered with more standard features and options, their prices climbed to almost full size truck prices (look at the Tacoma for example) so for a while people where like "Might as well get the full size truck for almost the same price"

But things have swung the other way. Again, look at the Tacoma which outsells the Tundra almost 2-1 even through the Tundra is a lot more truck for close the same money. Colorado sales are also doing really well.

 

now thats bitchin'

 

Bring back the El Camino & the Ranchero! Of coarse update them a little like this ^^^^

 

Those things are the business, solid axle front and rear with coil springs, maybe leaf springs on certain models. The gas engine ones are the same RB series inline six used in 90's Skylines, no turbo option from the factory unfortunately. But the aftermarket for them is huge, lots of fast turbocharged Patrols in the middle east.
