Ford USA still has this mindset when it comes to the rest of the world.

I like to remind American's, NSW is bigger than Texas.
They always seem so devastated.

Lot of old truck restorers on ATHS live in Arizona and Texas.

If you really want to screw with their brain you could also mention that Texas would fit in WA close to 4 times.

I think we should just go left hand drive and switch to the right side of the road.
You’re welcome.

Plenty of people already park like that - my local council barely bothers anymore.

Still doesn't look like they care about making a centre console for RHD despite the electric park brake either.

Are there many others that don't do this?

Never driven one so what makes this layout an issue for RHD....I'm guessing a lhd indicator stalk would cause more issues if it uses a LHD setup...and in my own case, the MB Vito handbrake release is in a similar position to the Territory bonnet release....it's funny what you do from memory as I drive the Vito every day and the Terry once a week.

Despite all the Karens preaching their hate of Murica trucks have yet to see one involved in an accident around here. And I see heaps everyday.

They mostly post pictures of them parking retarded like no other vehicle does that. I have some hottie who can't park her i30 straight next to me everyday to save her life you can set your watch to it

I'd really like to see the F150 do well in Australia, but I just don't think that it will. Harrisons in Melton have been converting these things for decades and have sold plenty of them, although, in my opinion, many potential buyers of these "myself included" are not going to like "any" V6, regardless of how powerful Ford claim it to be. I bought a new DT RAM Laramie two years ago and it's an awesome bit of gear. Replacement cost for the Laramie is around $150 on the road and after seeing the interior and specs of the new F150, I'm not even going to bother looking at one. I'll be swapping my RAM next year for another, although, the next one will be a Limited as the options that I got on my Laramie are no longer available. Ford should be able to get people from a Ranger into one but I can't see many people who have a Silverado jumping the fence and Ford would probably have more luck brokering a peace deal in the middle east than getting any RAM owners to walk into their dealership.
