Problem is with the conversion they're not cost competitive, but they offer a different point to the market.

IAL dominates that segment and has for years, maybe Ford Australia should introduce a 'Ford Truck' range which has the Superduty that plays in the light/medium rigid segment - F600 has a GVM of just shy of 10 tonnes and could compete with the N series stuff, the point of difference being way more powerful engines.

First the Jap trucks took out the Pom trucks
Then the Jap trucks took out any Aus and USA trucks except Acco
Acco finally died

Look how poorly the Euro s do in the low weight segments

It’s all about reliability and cost of ownership
