So perhaps I'm a little jaded from the latest developments with Ford Australia, but I would think that Jayco, an Australian manufacturer would support other Australian companies. Check out this image from the Jayco website.

But there are no Australian made dual cab 4x4 utes. So what could they ave used?
A Ford Territory works quite well. The Ranger/BT50 was designed in Australia by Aussie engineers. Even sales of Toyotas and Holdens made os help to support the australian operations.
Great Wall is a Chinese company, owned by the Chinese government who do not recognise human rights, or intellectual property.

Ranger and BT50 are made in Thailand, and the territory is not a 4x4. Just my 2c that's all

Yes they are made in Thailand, but the development of them employed around 1000 engineers, from Ford Australia. We may not be able to compete with low wage countries, but our engineers are world class.
No the Territory is not a 4wd, but why does the Jayco add require a 4wd? Particularly towing a touring van?
Besides, the Great Wall is a pile of junk. Why would Jayco want to associate their product with something thatis basically considered a joke in automotive world?
