Look What Mexico Got.....

I LOVE stuff like that.

They routinely used older tooling well past what the US market got as well.
I've seen a 1980's ford based on a 1966 galaxie body, but with rubber bumpers and square headlights!

Didn't read the article yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if that were a 1980 model.

There's a guy that owns a farm/commercial equipment repair shop near me and he has a 1990's South American ford ranger crew cab.
...and it's NOT an explorer sport trac.
