RobertRyan,
Sales of US pickups here in Western Australia are up 300%, mainly to the 50-65 year old age group, with about 40% to mining companies.
On my recent trip from Sydney to Perth, 4162km's, 3 weeks ago, I would suggest 1 in 12 tow vehicles for RV's was an American pickup.
I was amazed how many there were!
I talked to a convertor and they said that have been having a lot of problems getting custom. Very bad times indeed for US pickups.
Mining Companies??? I doubt that would be the case , they buy Toyota L70's as the "cars" they use on site.
Well unless all those Landcruisers , Patrols, Jeeps etc were mascaraidng as US Pickups I saw a total of FOUR from the Queensland Border to Central Victoria
