      Import it without the Bed and install it in the US. That’s what Toyota did with the original Stout/Hilux to sell them in North America. I doubt this is meeting the current FMVSS though.

      The Chicken Tax gets blamed for way more damage than it actually did. Any foreign made Pickup that had an actual chance of being marketed in the US (Ie Transit Connect, Toyota Stout/Hilux, Datsun 720, Subaru Brat, Etc) was imported with minor changes to circumvent the tax.

        yeah and Ford brought Transit Connects over with extra seats they threw away when they got here, I would rather just get rid of the stupid tarriff than cause more stupid bullshit to get around it
