Our trusty friend the Fourtrak is known in other countries like the US or Aus as the rocky.

Not quite correct Wesser. Wh

Not quite correct Wesser.
What is referred to in the Uk as the Fourtrak, is known as a Rocky in Oz, the Rugger in NZ and South Africa, as well as other places, and the Taft in South East Asia. It was never released in the USA.
What is referred to as a Sportrak is a Feroza in Oz, and a Rocky in the USA.

ROCKY MORE LIKE OLIE

Almost correct David...

We had the Fxx's sold here NZ new as Rocky's as well, the Ruggers are the Japanese used imported ones, this is where it gets more confusing, the Feroza (sporttrack) was sold here NZ New but the jap used imports were also called Rockys.

Its easy to confuse the parts guys over here
