    HERE WE GO! While I've been over in the US I've been seeing a heap of American 4WDs and getting a few ideas! Having given away the 79 I was without a vehicle back home and was in desperate need of a 4WD! After chatting with the team at ‪@AUSMV‬ I think I've found just the rig!

    I've owned a 4 ford f150s, Silverado and ram. I can tell you the ford is the only brand I've had 0 issues with. Silverado blew the engines ram blew the lifters. Fords have been work horses. Minor warranty work like any car but no major issues at all. I am looking at another big truck, going a ford again.

      Every ford work truck I've had left me stranded, but the duramax chevys I drove were the best. My personal truck is a ram with no issues, but my next truck will be a gmc 2500

    • @StephenFogarty2023
      @StephenFogarty2023 Год назад

      Various non OEM companies, like Aus MV, have been importing F truck / Ram & Silverado into Australia for many years.
      And
      GMSV in Australia & NZ, since Holden was shut down.
      GMSV are full factory division of GM
      Walkinshaw ( ex HSV are in Melbourne )
      They remanufacture the Silverado 1500 / 2500 / 3500 to RHD, it’s then sold via GMSV dealers in Australia & NZ with a full factory GMSV / GM warranty.
      For a few years now, ( since 2017 ? ) Walkinshaw have been remanufacturing Ram to RHD, for sale via USA factory backed Ram dealers, here in Australia.
      Walkinshaw have done over 25,000 Ram vehicles.
      Toyota Australia have partnered with Walkinshaw to do the
      Remanufacture of
      Toyota Tundra.
      300 vehicles now in Australia for durability testing etc
      If all goes well, Toyota Australia will officially sell Tundra in Australia, as of early 2024.
      And Ford Australia begin deliveries of full factory backed F150 in September, that they get converted to RHD in Melbourne.
