Times have changed for Renault. They are pretty different to what was sold in the U.S 15yrs ago. Think Hyundai

If it did come to the US, it would not have that same 2,200 pound payload. Our regulations would not allow it to. At least not in a crew cab that weighs more than 3,800 lbs.

European and Australian.ratings do not give US Pickups the same ratings as in the U.S., cuts both ways

Not surprising at all, considering Jeep is one of the worst rated brands for reliability. Guys forget that the last time Renaults were sold in the US was 30-35 years ago. Obviously they are not the same vehicle as back then. Then again, Fiat had a horrible reputation for reliability back then, and they are still close to dead last.

Yeah, and we all know how reliable Renaults have proven themselves to be.

"In 2014, sales of private cars + light commercial vehicles (PC+LCV) by the Renault group increased by 3.2% with 2,712,432 vehicles registered in a global automotive market that rose by 3.5%."

2.7 million vehicles last year alone... the roads and ditches of the world must be littered with Les Renaults mort...

Renault Trucks are not related to the "Alaskan Pickup" as the Renault Pickup, will be built by Renault cars in South America and Mexico
Renault Trucks is owned by the Volvo Group, which owns Mack and Nissan UD. Mack Trucks have Renault Truck parts as well as Volvo
The Police Riot Truck is the real deal,built on a Renault Midlum MDT

Classic 1 ton World Pickup.
Apparently based on the Nissan Navara World Pickup.
(See link in the article for more about that)

Wonder if the next Frontier for N.A. will be similar?

I think the Nissan Frontier will have some of this DNA, do not expect a Diesel in the Frontier

Definitely not coming to the U.S.,but primarily South America

Another name for the new Nissan NP300. Mercedes has it's own version or will have in 2018, with their own Diesrls. The Renault will be mainly sold in South America where it will compete against the Amarok and Hilux
