If the Global Ford Ranger is of similar dimensions to the U.S. version, the Tundra would offer far more interior space, as well as a larger bed, although the payload rating is far lower than the Global Ranger, as per the article. The article also mentions the Ford F-250 and Chevrolet Silverado are available in Australia for a similar price to the Tundra. The Silverado and F-250 have far greater payload capacities than the Tundra, as well as a greater towing capacity, and full-floating rear axles. Both offer a far greater value for the money than the Tundra, but the Ranger trumps them all with a price that is roughly half that of the other offerings. I understand that Australia has revised the requirement for imported vehicles to be converted to right hand drive. It used to apply to vehicles newer than thirty years old. What is the new age limit for not having to convert?
In reality ALL vehicles have to be converted. It is a nightmare to drive a U.S. Pickup from what would be the passengers seat. In England they allow LHD vehicles, thar are new but you cannot insure them in case of an accident.
Only reason I can see getting the Tundra, is being different. None of the U.S. 1/2 tons are used to do any work, they are just different "cars"
The 3/4 and 1 Tons are used to pull Caravans or 5th Wheelers
No the Global Ranger is considerably bigger than the U.S. version, similar to the new Colorado and GMC
Age that can be left as LHD is 25yrs old, but very few do leave then as that
