I actually said that earlier in another post.. Prior to the that as in my post above yours Pickups did very badly in Australia. When they became more car like and sophisticated they started to sell. Well some have, but not all. Add in the fact they do not make Utes anymore.
They became more popular when they started making them with 4 doors like they did in America with the super cabs and crew cabs. It is no coincidence that the F150 became America's best selling vehicle a few short years after it was available with a Supercab.

Hilux is a very much an Asian inspired and developed Pickup.,Ranger has been developed and designed in Australia
Regardless of where it is designed, where it was built, or which brand makes it. With their body on frame design, higher than a car stance, and purpose built bed; they are all based off of and are just smaller versions of the standard American pickup.
