That’s pretty cool, and I just checked the prices and it only starts at 11k dearer than the standard f150, which is less than I expected. Interesting.

What’s more insane to me as an Australian is its 50k USD starting price in America, but in Australia it starts at $149k USD as they’re only sold by third parties that do right hand drive conversions (at imo a way too high premium, 100k for that service + shipping???)

That's insane. Why would an Aussie buy this over a BYD Shark for US$40k?

Status symbol. I’ve only seen these sorts of vehicles actually carrying something a single digit number of times. I’ve never seen one dirty.

Pick your poison:

* no gas

* no oil changes

* no annual emissions testing (if they do that in Oz)

* more than 1 second faster 0-60/0-100

* twice the towing capacity

* semi-automated trailer connecting (maneuvering the truck to the trailer)

* longer bed and more rear seat leg room
