It just does everything rather than a few things well and you're at that stage in your life where that matters and that's fine.
If you took away tax incentives from circa 15 years ago on these vehicles, would they be so popular? I doubt it.
I'd be interested in a comparison between 2019 vehicle sales data, looking at the top 10 and then looking deeper into private vs ABN holder purchases and see how it effects the numbers and what moves position when you analyse data further.
It would paint a clearer picture into Australian customers and their preferences broken down by tax incentives compared to no tax incentives.
Out of curiosity, what are F150 v Ranger sales in the USA? It would be interesting to see their sales breakdown in a market where both are being sold as factory options.

You bought a Colorado. Bit much complaining if you bought one yourself.
F series sold about 900,000. US Ranger was about 90,000. So about 10 to 1.
But Ranger just keeps growing over there. And 90,000 Rangers in the US is more than Hilux and Ranger combined here. Interestingly that F series sales have slightly increased since the US Ranger has gone on sale over there, so there has been no cannibalization of F series by Ranger.
