I think they'll continue to leverage their fleet model dominance, their efforts with the Hilux upper models has been stuff like lame sticker packs asnd they made a backwards step in the current model Hilux when they went to the 2.4L and 2.8L diesels which are turds rolled in glitter.
The 3.3L V6 is still lame in the 300 series - 227KW, its up like 30KW and 50NM on the outgoing 4.5L ancient turd they use.
If they wanted to compete with the Raptor then they should be investigating using the 3UR-FE in the Hilux, it would give them a USP but I don't think they have the balls to do it.

Franco, they only needed sticker models to remain no1, up the ante as Ford have and they'll respond to the numbers, its always a financial decision to them.
As if they wouldn't have pulled a Hilux aside and looked at how the V6 will sit by now.
We'll see.
