    One could be forgiven for thinking that the Toyota Hilux Ute is a dinky die Jap job.
    Wrong; it is made in Thailand along with a slither of other vehicles that we automatically associate
    the vehicle's origin with that of the Brand origin.:

    Not alone this, these brands are becomming more reliant on China as the dominant player in their supply chains.
    We have a FTA with Thailand which was engineered by the Multinational Auto manufacturers and long before they exited
    our manufacturing market.
