I don’t think they’ll eat into the established models sales at nearly twice the price.
They’ll just give more choice to those people FTE217 and myself described above, who can’t afford an $80k Ranger or Hilux.
They overlook a 3-5 year old Tanger/Hilux in favour of something new, even if it is cheap and nasty Chinese POS.
These guys are like those old white dudes who go to Thailand and Phillipines and bag a women half their age then parade them around but are too tone deaf to realise people are embarrassed for them, not impressed.

Realistically how many 70 series are out there being used for the same purpose a Thai special can fulfil, and do a better job at it.
Prob a good 9/10 if private sales.
