Robert Ryan, you are going to have to get over the fact that we have different trucks for different uses and different terminology/classes for our trucks. No one here is getting mad at you for using Australian terminology for trucks and you should not get mad at us for using American terminology.

Also, using what people do globally as the standard does not apply here either. After all, only 35% of the world drives on the left side of the road. Does that mean Australia and others that do are wrong because most of the world drives on the right? No, so why do you chastise us for doing something that most of the world does differently?

In a way the US market is unique to two Countries, like Australian car/ truck Utes were limited to Australia and New Zealand. Nothing wrong with it
Problems arrive when there is a downturn and you want to leverage your production over several markets. Not possible with only two markets, but not a problem with 150.
Global Pickups and Trucks work on the latter scenario

This is true, however, due to the size of the US truck market there is no need to leverage production to other markets to make selling them profitable. In fact, the US sells more pickup trucks every year than the rest of the world combined. Our market is big enough to have market specific vehicles while many other markets are not, and need to spread amongst many markets to make designing/building them profitable.
