F-150 and Ram Hit Saturation Wall in Australia—US Truck Glut Finally Catching Up

American pickup trucks flooded Australian markets after years of import enthusiasm, but the novelty's wearing off fast. F-150s and Rams are piling up on lots as buyers realize the novelty of a crew cab with a 5.0L V8 doesn't justify the logistics nightmare of keeping one alive 12,000 miles from Detroit. Market's correcting itself.
