Hi Folks
Was looking on CarPoint last night and came across a few Toyota Tundras for sale which have been converted to Oz compliance.
They are popular here in the USA but are not available with a diesel donk.

Nice that it has 4500 kg towing capacity which
places it just below the F250.
Retail price on these in the USA is around $55K
I have an expat Aussie friend over here who is a bricky and has had one of them for 270,000
MILES with no problems.
Regards

$55k in USA, so why $119k here?

Well.......
They are manufactured here in the USA for the US market.
There is freight to Australia which is abt $8,000 then GST on purchase price and freight thats another $6500.
Then the unit has to be converted to RHD and meet Australian ADR compliance, new AC, new lights, new windscreen, new seatbelts, new mirrors, etc etc
Conversion costs are around $25-35,000.
That's why they want the price in Oz.

A lot of money for a vehicle that is not supported in OZ!! There would be better options for the money i would think! Michael
