I am looking for scale/detailed RC pickup trucks to go with my 1/14 semi trucks, and I am coming up empty. Any suggestions?

Looking for a truck

FMS has some pretty scale rigs in various sizes
The problem is semis are an odd 1/14 scale and don't matchup well to scale rigs that are 1/10th. The ones I have listed below are close to 1/14 in terms of the scale fraction. Not sure if the actual dimensions will be scale to semis though.
WPL D14 Kei truck should get close: D14 Suzuki Carry - RTR
Cheaper WPL D12: D12

That is sweet!
I forgot about FMS and I'm not sure why. I always wanted to put their Jimny on a semi trailer. Seems like it would fit in scale-wise, but I never double-checked dimensions.

Ya, this and the mn86 (fj79) and the cherokee, or the montero would scale out well!

I never even heard of MN Model until now. Are they like FPS or WPL?

The Jimny is equal parts stupid and fun. It has virtually no capability and no upgrade potential but driving it around just makes you smile. It would probably be perfect as traffic on those scale streets they put together for the 1/14 scale semi trucks. I had some plans to try and make the Jimny perform a little better so I would drive it more but there is always another project in the way.

Mn models and wpl are mostly interchangeable, the bodies of the MN are slightly larger. Fms is completely different.

I have the jimny from fms and the fj79 mn.. whatever. And the jimny is a class of its own, at least in scale and strength and quality compared to the wpl and the <$70 rigs. When it was on sale i snatched it as a take with me on trips rig. However, i burned up the esc.
I think so?

Forgot about the JJRC models to the WPL and MN series.
Heres the little montero and the rest. Ive looked over a lot if the feedback on aliexpress and the montero looks to be the same size as the others.

AWESOME!!! Many thanks for the input, they have been spot-on for what I am looking for!!!!
Brands/trucks I have never heard of, which is why I asked. I will likely pick up the NM Cherokee, it is a small 1/12, which means it will likely look proper with my 1/14 scale semi trucks. Plus, I am wanting RCs to compliment my semi trucks, but they don't need to be great performers; sub-$100 is exactly what I am looking for. There are other companies like Lesu that do have 1/14 trucks and cars, but their prices make Vanquish prices look cheap.
Of course, even in the Tamiya 1/14 scale RCs, some of their proportions looks a little off. I just build a single axle Globetrotter, and to me the scaling seems off from my other trucks (understanding RC scaling is an "ish"). It might just be the Euro-styling I am not used to, but to me it looks more 1/12 scale. Below is a video I shot showing my semi trucks together.
Thanks again!!!
