I like the design

I wonder why it is banned

I think the emissions regulations are based on the wheelbase size. Smaller vehicles have to get better mpg.

Maybe its this 🤷‍♂️

This regulation is pretty much the sole reason cars in America have gotten so much larger over the past twenty years.

The unsaid part -

Americans have been convinced to unquestioningly purchase increasingly complex vehicles.

All while being offered poor quality options for small vehicles.

Where do I buy this?

Thailand or the Philippines I think

The Toyota Hilux Champ. The bare bones detailing definitely draws the eye. Plain trucks are found all over Asia but none look this good

Hello Slate Truck. Coming in 2027?

I was JUST looking at the reserve page!

Where do they sell it?
