    Unfortunately unavailable in the US. It's not a toy hauler, but ticks a lot of boxes for an American truck buyer. Great first attempt for an international truck by BYD, though the main question is how well will this unit age, reliability, and parts availability. At it's current MSRP, it's almost disposable, IMHO

    Enjoy:

    BYD is obviously a dominant sedan company in China. They got beat for van-form vehicles here, leaving pickups as a possible market expansion. And so they 'Shark' - with debut in Mexico :)

    Pickups in general are a nice value proposition for manufacturers, as they get to build an incomplete vehicle, and price it as if they had done.
