The question : so you agree US pickup trucks are complete failures outside NA.I hinted that several times.
The first crew cab truck was the American 1957 International Harvester Travellette. The Japanese didn't start producing crew cabs until 1962 in the Toyota Stout which is just another version based off of the standard American pickup truck just like the Hilux and Ranger which are currently Australia's best selling vehicles
No you got that wrong Toyota Stout in 1954not IHI
No answer by you on the Cab Chassis Holden Ute and the European Crafter Cab Chassis Truck, they meet your definition of a " Pickup Truck"
As I have posted earlier in this thread. Success of Pickups is patchy in Australia Gpobal Colorado is nowhere to be seen. It is currently 17th in Sales. Holden Ute when in production was the 4th best selling vehicle at the timr.
The Model T Pickup Truck went by a different name when it came out bears no resemblance to a Modern Pickup
They were called Depot Hacks
