I was in Thailand last month, Ford Rangers and Toyota Hiluxes are pretty common.
It seems the fact they're manufactured locally in Thailand helps.
I wouldn't say that only Aussies share a love affair with these things despite what these journalists say.

The local TV commercials show Ford Rangers doing skids on sand and dirt.
That kind of stuff will never be aired on Aussie TV.
Thailand is Rangers biggest selling market. They sell about 10,000 more a year there than they do here.
