Funny, just googling Australian pickup up truck shows many Australian websites calling piuckup truck....trucks. Maybe the rest of Australia doesn't share your US hating ideology. They are also called trucks on Asian and European automaker commercials as well.

But the US Colorado has less GVWR and no provision for a 10ft bed

Well of course, I explained why in the first post that you said was supportable incorrect, but have yet to point out what was incorrect. The GVWR of the truck class that the Colorado and other mid-sized trucks are in is capped at 6k GVWR, and we have bigger trucks that can carry more than what a Colorado with a 10 ft bed can so it would be more sensible to buy that if one needed to haul that much. Since we have larger truck options, we don't have to make these small trucks handle more weight. One would just simply go up to the next size of truck that they need.

So Scarey Mary I or any other GM executive s an expert on what GM produces outside NA..you are right WOW

Uhm yeah, because the GM Holden exec Peter Keley that said it in an article talking about how the next Holden Colorado will be longer and wider bringing it closer to the size of the current US Colorado. If I find the article I will post it. Also, if you look on page 10 of 2018 Holden Colorado brochure(LINK) it states that the longest Holden Colorado is 5,361 mm which is 211 inches. The longest US Colorado is over a foot longer at 224.9 inches.

Oh, and if you search for the words "truck" or "pickup" in the Holden broshure, you will see that those words are used to describe the Holden Colorado multiple times and the word "ute" is not even used once.
