get another shipping container and ship over a good old Berta classic f350 super duty diesel coal roller with a huge set of truck nuts and a fuck trudeau sticker on the back window . you could be the king of new zealand with a ride like that
Ever look at the price of a western pickup truck over there?
If you can get a vehicle through customs and convert it to right hand drive, you might make a couple dollars.

BJTT_Kiwi @BJTT_Kiwi Miesha's Taint @Miesha's Taint What's your take on pickup truck in NZ? (Utes)
Where would a guy find the most value? Obviously ford ranger and the Toyota hilux are the front runners. I'd feel a lot at home, behind the wheel of a ford.
The Mazda and nissan trucks look a bit underrated to me.
I'll have to do a bit more research, just thought I'd get your opinion.
I've got the navara ST but its more of a city ute...The rangers are nice and Isuzu are used here a lot by miners etc...


Hiluxes are also a good option...All decent choices mate.

No offence but the kinda all look like city utes by North American standards!

Pickup trucks are for mongaloids. People who own them embarrass me. Well apart from one person I know who lives on an actual farm. But he should get a land rover instead.

I love a good van, an epic van is my favorite

A pickup is all engine, it is a powerful tool with minimal seating
The only good pickup truck I saw is the tundra they went to the north pole in on top gear. (Very worth a watch)

Anything else can be done in a range rover /land rover or a van.

It's another American thing, like guns, where Americans don't realize the rest of the world is laughing at them about it.

VW Amarok is always an option.
Rangers are pretty popular - mainly for the tax benefits as a company vehicle.

If you want US conversions (Dodge Ram SRT and the like) I know the owner of Eagle Automotive.
