Which pickup? Toyota IMV 0 pickup £8200

[ARW]

Toyota's $10,000 pickup of the future is utilitarian perfection

The Toyota IMV 0 is a cheap little $10,000 workhorse for those who don’t need leather, power tailgates, and massive sunroofs – you know, a real truck.

Would these sell in the UK?

Or do they know we are daft enough to want the hi spec hilux for £40k?

How much are these UTV’s these days?

Would be a very cheap option for a farm vehicle. But UTVs are around 1000kg max weight. The IMV 0 looks to be 2700kg which would rule it out as a suitable utv replacement on all but the driest farms imo.
I'm looking for alternatives to our kubota rtv but the kubota is plenty heavy enough at around a ton.

I would have one as the main pickup, no thrills just a pure workhorse

These will not meet any first world emissions or safety regulations.

We're it a contender for utv replacement that wouldn't matter?

Will it come with front wings that don’t crumple wen a collision happens and a rear diff not made of chocolate?

I always fancied a fiat doblo dropside, just couldn‘t warrant another truck.

 

[Poorbuthappy]

I somehow doubt it'll be 8.5k by the time it gets here
Though 12k would still look cheap compared to either existing pick ups, or utvs.
Bet there won't be much change from 15k though by the time you get 1 on farm.

Who says it will be sold in Japan?

Who says it will be sold in Japan?

well the article doesn't say it won't,,,,,it does say

'japan is the home of many small cheap trucks'

whilst it is likely that exporting to se asia is perhaps main aim the intimation is that it'll be sold in japan also

No. They go on about some class of tiny trucks but this is not one of them. This article is not clear about it but I read another, more detailed article last week that caregorically stated that this was only to be sold in poor third world countries and ones with very lax safety and emission standards. It is not even designed for airbags or abs brakes. It will not be sold in Japan according to the article I read.

10 grand. Sign me up for 1 pronto, iv drove a whole lot worse

If it had ABS, Airbags, radio and some sound deadening it would sell like hotcakes. Even to the city dwellers.

That's probably a step too far on missing comforts (and safety!).

Dont need any of that stuff

There in lies the problem: if it becomes a fad with the bearded Gen Z ‘top knot’ w️'s then the resale market will hoover up the waiting list for 10 years and treble the price to £30k
