It is fucked up that due to burdensome regulation this will not be sold in America. https://m.primal.net/HPcp.png
We need to arbitrage the guns to Mexico/trucks to US trade
Not an accident... nostr:nevent1qqsdx2qu9uucfs77x79sveqmdrdvtny263w8jpkkr4rcqju4xa6smxgpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyqzvj9w6alhrsvtl5u6ygjkwuwg2sf5lukqskgjpuhnd6dpal0kvjqcyqqqqqqg5vwgvs
“Price deflation bad.” You aren’t allowed to make things cheaper.
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.
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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax
LOL check out a pickup price in europe. They will for sure not sell it here as well.
The UAW does not approve. Automobiles must be created in a manner that maximizes the utilization of union labor.
Are you kidding me?!
I would def want one
So frustrating. This is the perfect truck. nostr:nevent1qqsdx2qu9uucfs77x79sveqmdrdvtny263w8jpkkr4rcqju4xa6smxgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygqyey2a4mlw8qchlfe5g39vacus4qnflevppv3yre0xm56rm7lveypsgqqqqqqsutvepg
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!
💯
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?
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 😭
what happened to the greatest nation of all time?? It's so weird to look from the outside.
Oh. Ooooh. Oh I want this.
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.
