You will be able to grey market import it in 25 years or so. It is aimed at 3rd world countries not the US. Good luck getting tags on one without the NTHA paperwork.

fixed that for you....

On a side note my new dayly driver full size 4x4 diesel powered truck makes about the same power than that thing makes. I can tell you one thing for sure from experience with a a very heavy underpowered truck is that thing will hate any type of hill or head wind lol.

Screw it, I'd use it as a run around and figure out how to sneak one in.

If you are going to sneak in some off brand POS, atleast get a decent truck like a toyota hilux diesel.

This shot makes it look like an oversized Nissan Frontier.



Not saying our 2009+ F150s are Nissan ripoffs, but the similarities are there. In this day and age, the automakers constantly "steal" design cues from other one another. Take the 2013 Ford Fusion; that front end SCREAMS Aston Martin. (And yes I know Aston and Ford had a relationship a bit ago. They don't now, yet the Fusion looks oddly similar.)
