 It is fucked up that due to burdensome regulation this will not be sold in America.

 We need to arbitrage the guns to Mexico/trucks to US trade 
 Not an accident...

 The 'Nanny State' sucks balls. 
 “Price deflation bad.” You aren’t allowed to make things cheaper. 
 This is the direction prices should be going. Madness! 
 It's regulation but also that Toyota can't make big margins on it. They did the same with the land cruiser and sold it as the Lexus LX only.

This would cannibalize more profitable truck sales for them that Americans would buy but other countries won't.  
 Well as Americans are buying less cars these days due to interest rates, it might change that situation.  
 It may for some, but the people buying Lexus LX series may be out of the group affected by interest rates 
 But Hamas and the Taliban can take full advantage of this. They’ll benefit while we suffer. 
 The "chicken tax" is actually ridiculous. Worth the Wikipedia dive. This is how Ford circumvents the regulation with their Transit Connects: "The vehicles are exported from Turkey on ships owned by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), arrive in Baltimore, and are converted back into light trucks at WWL's Vehicle Services Americas, Inc. facility by replacing rear windows with metal panels and removing the rear seats and seat belts.[1] The removed parts are not shipped back to Turkey for reuse, but shredded and recycled in Ohio.

 LOL
check out a pickup price in europe.
They will for sure not sell it here as well. 
 Because it’s too small? 
 The UAW does not approve. Automobiles must be created in a manner that maximizes the utilization of union labor. 
 I would buy one today. And 1000X better looking than the Cyber Truck. 
 Oh you'll still be able to get one if you want it, without paying an absurd premium. There is significant import demand for Toyota vehicles originally only sold abroad.  
 Are you kidding me?! 
 I would def want one  
 Same 
 All a man needs 
 Would buy this in a heartbeat 
 Dream truck 
 So frustrating. This is the perfect truck.

 It's likely to be indestructible like the SR5 so that's probably illegal.  
 It's likely to crumble to a pancake on impact 
 Great find! 
 So much cooler than the cybertruck. 
 Cyphertruck > Cybertruck.

 This looks like the farm truck of the future.  
 Man our country sucks ass, id buy one of these. 
 Check out Icon post bull market.

 Better than a Lambo. I'll have one 
 Centrally controlled economy.
What could go wrong? 
 GE 
 😂🤣 
 I need one of these bad #toyota #goated 
 Sorry, your only options in America are the $40k barebones package, or the $75k package if you want rear seats too. 
 Caps Odell done for this bull market already? 
 Want 
 Par for the course, eh!?  
 I want one so bad! But if it's not coming to US then it's for sure not coming to Canada 😭 
 America is a shitcoin
 
 I like the idea of no frills. She does look clean and mean 
 what happened to the greatest nation of all time?? It's so weird to look from the outside. 
 Oh. Ooooh. Oh I want this. 
 Damn, I want one of these. 
 Agreed. But I did read that they may be sold in Mexico so I wonder if I couldn't buy one there and bring it in. My warehouse guys go down there a couple times a year. I could just have them drive it back for me. 
 This on the citadel would be 🔥 
 The market is ripe for a car like this. No new car is available in the US for less than 20k. 
 RHR will be fire. Much Love Matt y Marty
