Haha, Supercheap Auto is the Australian version of somthing like Autozone I think. Our most popular tradesman vehicle is the Toyota Hilux, think Australia's version of the F150.

Supercheap auto. Who ever thought of that name. Everytime I drive past one of their stores, augh. Give me Repco or Auto one  for a name anyday.

Btw. Nice build Jeff.

Well, not really... The F150 is a Ford, midsize truck. The Hilux is a Toyota compact truck, which until the 90s was sold over in North America, then they replaced it with the Tacoma.
Sorry for being a bit of a nag, I just had to fix that.

Is that so? Don't you have midsize trucks like the f150, silverado 1500 or dodge 1500? Or full-size trucks either? What a weird country...

Nothing weird about it (in the truck aspect) other then in N America, there is no such thing as a "full size truck" as you know it. the "mini truck" pretty much rules. AUS invented it in the 30's, look up UTE.

Haha, just teasing you a bit.
It looks like your UTE is North America's truck. Y'all even have country songs about them!

I believe that there are more F150's made than any other vehicle in the world, and it is only sold in North America. Silverado's are just being introduced this year I believe in limited numbers. The F250 was available for a couple of years a decade or so ago I believe, but very few sold and they discontinued it. We don't really have any need for the big trucks here, although does anyone really need a truck that big? ?

Oh yeah baby. The ability to pull pretty much anything is pretty damn nice... My dad's 2018 F350 can pull 3 times its own weight!
Also, 8 foot bed. Don't need to have stuff sticking out. And if you don't need a big bed, you can put a toolbox and an extra fuel tank in it.
Or you replace the bed with a flatbed to have even more space, or a crane, or a whole lot of toolboxes.
You can do anything with a truck, really. Except maybe park in cities, but why the hell would anyone want to live in a city? Country living is the way to go [emoji41]
In my case, I'm gonna be storing my Z in a 28ft cargo hauler converted into an rv. It's insulated, got a shower, a sink, and electricity. What more do you need? And of course I need a truck to pull it.
