Which of the major Japanese used car exporters have a good stock of Pick-ups? I've checked IBC and Papera and they don't have.

Me too has been looking at the Japanese sites and only find one or so occasionally. There must be some company with good stock somewhere...

If you are intending to importing pickups from Japan i can advice it will be very hard getting one. If you get way too expensive. Reasons are;
- pick ups in Japan are for recreation and hobby kind of . Meaning few people buy affecting supply of used cars.
- the few ones are in high demand. Price
- they dispose/ sell after mostly 10 yrs meaning a NO to Kenyan market.

My advice is buy locally new or old. Cheaper I guess. OR
Buy small trucks that are used like pickups here in Japan . They are 1 to 1.5 ton. I don't know their availability in Kenyan market but importing them is cheaper. Alternatively buy a used 2 ton truck.
work to prosper

Talk to JKMwatha - there are plenty of high quality pickups to be had in the UK for fair pricing. Dmax(Rodeo) should top your list if you know what's good for you. The Mitsubishi L200 is also really good and highly undervalued. The Nissans are in plenty and doing well. Toys ziko - but you know I NEVER recommend Toytota(this doesn't mean they are bad).
