You do not live in fantasyland, it is quite deliberate what you are doing, trying a them and us tactic A lot of people on this thread are interested in Global Pickups, not what you wanted
Ranger and bed
I said pickup bed and a dual cab Robert. As in a pickup bed just like the Sportrac. I didn't ask for the numbers of a single cab, and I did not ask for the numbers of a cab and chassis before the weight of any trayback is applied.
I don't think you quite understand that the cab and chassis models loose payload once you put a tray or flat bed on them. The numbers you keep quoting is the cab and chassis truck which look like this.
Once you add any kind of bed to the truck then it drops the payload the amount that the bed weighs. For example, take the 3,000 lb payload of the single cab cab and chassis model you keep quoting. If you pick that up off the lot without adding a thing to it then you have 3,000 lbs payload, but it don't have any kind of bed and it looks like the truck pictured above. Say you take this truck to a shop to have a 500 lbs bed installed. Know you have to deduct the weight of that bed from your payload which turns your 3,000 lbs payload into 2,500 lbs. Savy? Do you understand how that works and why I said NOT to quote cab and chassis models (especially single cabs) because those are numbers BEFORE and bed is put on it.
Also, I am providing factual information and this is not fantasyland. All I asked you to do is show me a global truck dual cab pickup truck (like the Sportrac) hat had a payload of 3,000 lbs and a tow rating of 8,000 lbs. I know there isn't because I checked which is why you cannot come up with one solitary model that does. If you want to say I am distorting the truth then here, check for yourself and everyone else can as well.
Nissan Navara
Toyota Hilux
Mazda BT50
Holden Colorado
Ford Ranger
So if I am lying or distorting the truth. Then point out to me which truck in these brochures has a payload of 3,000 lbs(1,360 kg) and a tow rating of 8,000 lbs(3,628 kg) in a dual cab pickup configuration. Remember, it has to say P/U for pickup and not C/C for cab and chassis.
Shiner, just for kicks...I looked up the Nissan CC 4x4 automatic and it has 828 kg or 1825 lbs of cargo. This is 400 lbs less than the Colorado 4x4 Crew Cab I looked at. I am willing to bet that the tire capacity in these trucks is very similar as the U.S. vehicles tend to rate the axles way under the tire capacity at max PSI.
Towing is 3,000 kg which is 6613 lbs...this is 400 lbs less than the Colorado in the US.
The data suggests that there is not a huge disparity between global midsize trucks and American mid size trucks.
Thanks!
