The new L200 is available in Australia now.
The versions here are still underpowered and have a lower towing rating then the Rangers and DMax.
It will struggle to sell here unless it has a power plant upgrade.

I'd imagine they'd have to add a V6, although the turbodiesel 4 has fantastic MPG.
The turbocharged 4 banger diesels are reporting 24.75 mpg real life highway mileages, but it drops back to around 12 mpg when towing.
The Rangers and DMax's are reporting slightly better mpg, and have extra power and higher towing capacity.
I think the L200s in Australia are set up for tradies and soccer mums rather than touring and towing.
The L200 is certainly priced lower than the others.
Fuel is too expensive in Australia ($5.10 per gallon) for V6 petrols to be considered if you are doing high mileages.
