    I was going to say FJ-Cruiser and Mahindra Jeep.

    With a name like "troller" this has to be a joke. Not to mention the problem selling a 6sp manual diesel into the USA.

    Yup 100% ugly, BUT:
    The drivetrain is pure ford ranger/bt50, 3.2 tdci5, 6 spd manual which by now would have been under a new defender, if Ford didn't fire sale LR. The ranger has a true 130 in wheelbase and there is a wagon due soon from Ford. Not sure if Mazda will do a version as it would impact cx9 sales.
