Did he say in his weird little voice $75,000?
Did he say a 2.0L diesel with twin turbos?
Did he say designed in Australia?

Well, no wonder it's not for sale in the US.
It wouldn't sell here and they know it.

The engine is weak to meet Asian market restrictions, but is definitely reminiscent of the 5.4L (or even the 6.2 for us gen 2 folks :p)

75k AUS, so 55k USD.

But yeah, this is the Raptor the rest of the world gets. The suspension definitely does well (see those nosedive jumps?), but even if it came over here with a decent engine I'll stick with my F150 version. Glad I live in Texas, all I'm saying.

I wouldn't be the slightest bit interested if it was available in the US with left hand drive for under $30K.

There have been some sightings of left hand drive models testing. It would be fun truck if they put the 2.7 EB in there for the US. Doubtful it happens but would definitely have my interest.
