Properly imported, supposedly. The first I've seen of these around here at all. Just a shame they're out of challenge budget.

They are very popular here, along with the Delecia type minivans. They make a lot of sense and I would have bought one except for the whole right side steering thing. I have chatted with owners who say you get used to that very quickly, but still.... And beware the left drive conversions which show up (from the Phillipines I think) as the the steering is converted and they are mostly unsafe. (frame welding and steering box mods by some hacker in an alley)

I have always thought these trucks to be cool but when I run the numbers it would just make more sense to by a used Ford Ranger for similar or often much less money.
