It's competition will be hilux/4tuner, cruiser series 7x , ranga/Everest, amarok and dmax/MUX etc those are the current competitors, but by 2020 there will be;
Amarok wagon, merc ute based on navara and possibly the next gen Dodge Ram 1500 in Rhd direct from the factory with 3 engine options, v6/v8 petrols and the 3.0tdv6 from the grand Cherokee , throw in a possible ram wagon and jeep grand wagoneer( but that will be more of a D5 competitor) and it will be a market to suit all tastes! Also to compete with the 2 door wrangler and the small hole left by the fj and defender 90 there will be the bronco , which is based of the ranger so would be an easy rhd swap.
Then there will also be a wrangler dual cab with a 3.6 v6 petrol and either a td4 or a 3.0 tdv6 ! This could be another live axle option for those who don't want independent all round or are looking to do modifications.
