Whereas the amarok was way behind(people just don't like the 2.0 engine in a 1 ton 4wd), below the triton and a few others. The Everest outsold the fortuner, but both where smashed by the playdough at almost 3:1.
So what LR need is a ute/dc/single cab to beat both Hilux and Ranga as well as a wagon derivative to beat playdough on both on/off-road performance, tow/engine/load capacity, reliability and price.
