Thousands of pick up trucks from the US get sold every year to overseas locations. In 1999 I was selling my 1988 Toyota pickup truck. I was contacted by to different guys that the first thing they asked me if it would pass inspection. I said yes of course. The first guy said OK and good bye. The second guy I asked why. He said, that he was specifically interested in Toyota and Nissan pickups to ship overseas. He sold them in central America. He said other people shipped them to Asia. They would buy the trucks that would not pass inspection here for about $1000. they would ship them overseas, repair them and sell them for $4000.
Shortly later the war in the Afghanistan with the Taliban broke out. All the Taliban were driving old Toyota, Nissan and Datsun pick up trucks.
Toyota, Nissan, et al actually sell trucks outside the U.S.
In fact, the U.S. is not a particularly big pickup truck market for them, with full-size American pickups getting as good as or better fuel economy and much higher resale than the Jap trucks, regardless of size.
