Mexican Fords,Chevys,Dodges

Since like 2003 I've seen 2 F-150's that said F-250....Now I know why....they are spanish trucks..

In Mexico the F-150 and F-250 share 1 chassis, the F-250 has a V8 while the F-150 has a V6, The F-150 of 2009 like we know it is called a Lobo, not a F-150.

Most of the other Fords in Mexico are the same but there are a few "other" ones.

Courier
Fiesta/ST
different Focus/ST
different Ranger
and a Ecosport?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chevys are mostly the same also...

But there are different ones including the

Corsa, Corsa Sedan
Optra
Astra
Meriva
Vectra
Tornado
Cheyenne (Silverado Vortec Max)
Captiva (Saturn Vue)
They still carry the Uplander

the rest are Tahoes, Suburbans, Silverados, Corvette and so on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dodges are the same, but theres some different ones too.

Ram 4000 (Tougher than 3500)
Dodge 1000 (is like a square volkswagen van)
Atos (looks and had Hyundai badges)
Attitude (looks like a Hyundai spectra with Dodge badges)
H1000 (says Hyundai, is like a Rhino 4x4 vehicle but bigger)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

But the GT500 costs $633,800......pesos.

Lobos are badass. When they first came out they looked different from the F-150's. But then the drug dealers started to use them and they died off.

633,800 pesos for the Shelby which is the equivalent of about $60,500 in american money.
and the LOBO is 289,000 pesos, which is around $26,000 in american money.
Not bad.

Yeah they have to raise the prices on certain cars that don't sell.

No one in Mexico is going to have a GT500 unless they are corrupt politicians or drug cartel. In that case they wouldn't last too long alive in the car either way.
