I remember seeing a RAM 3500 around Sydney, and wondering what would posses someone to import it.

I know a few people with one or something like it.

Its mostly people who have a legitimate business case for owning one (Landscapers/Builders/Horsey people) and use that as a justification to own one that also suits their weekend pursuits. (Race cars, boating, 4x4, caravanning/camping)

If you can make your work vehicle also your family vehicle and part of your toy collection AND tax deduct the lot... makes sense.

I have a neighbour that is none of those things and owns a black one. He is a big fella, and nice enough bloke, but often has to reverse back up suburban streets because he can’t get past the parked cars.

His wife has a white Tesla 3 and is stereotypical “I have a self-driving car so I don’t need to look up when I am driving”.
