The Kenyan Market Will Soon See The Introduction of American Pickup Trucks.
For the longest time, owning an American pickup truck in Kenya was little more than a dream. These massive machines, known for their commanding presence and roaring V8 engines, were a familiar sight in Hollywood films—but not on our roads. Their left-hand drive setup made them about as practical here as riding a bicycle with square wheels. But that’s finally starting to change.
Thanks to a new, factory-backed initiative by Autogroup International, American pickup trucks will soon be available in right-hand drive, making them a practical and exciting option for East African buyers. This groundbreaking move marks a major shift in the global pickup truck market, allowing drivers in the region to own true American performance trucks that meet local road regulations.
Autogroup International is setting a new standard in the specialty truck segment with a world-first program that brings over 20 unique models to customers in 75 countries. For the first time, enthusiasts outside North America can experience the complete lineups from Shelby American, Fox Factory, Harley-Davidson, and Black Widow.
These trucks are built for the road, engineered for legal compliance, and designed to maintain their bold, uncompromising character. Each vehicle stays true to its iconic heritage, supported by a factory-backed process and a global collaboration with Canadian firm Xcentrick Autosports Inc.—a trusted partner of Shelby American and Fox Factory. The right-hand drive conversions meet ISO 9001:2015 engineering standards, ensuring these trucks retain their legendary performance and cutting-edge technology. The conversion process mirrors the world’s top OEM programs and is backed by full warranties, parts availability, and aftersales support.
Among the exciting models now available is the Fox Factory Silverado 1500. This is no ordinary pickup—it’s a Baja-ready monster powered by a supercharged V8 engine producing over 700 horsepower. Its standout feature is the adaptive suspension system, which can be fine-tuned from inside the cabin. Whether you’re navigating city streets or tearing through rough off-road terrain, this truck adjusts seamlessly to the conditions, proving that raw power can also come with intelligent engineering.
