Shady dealership though. Went there when looking for a truck. Said no rust, great truck, etc. Looking it over it obviously was cheaply fixed after an unmentioned accident and had paint on top of rust.

I'd kind of like a 2 door Colorado, but they don't offer it with a V8. You need to go extended or quad cab for that. And the interior is even more low rent than the H3.

Apparently Mexico is the land of the sporty shorty. They even have these short body 2500s. They're fairly cheap too. This one comes out to ~$25k.

Their numbering scheme is weird. They didn't get HD versions like we did. Their 1500 is a V6, and their 2500 is our low end 5.3L V8, The Mexican 3500s seem to have all been sold as stripper chassis cabs with with a 6.0L port injected V8 and a manual trans. No diesel or automatic at all for those.

This would be roughly equivalent to a Mexican 2500. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sal ... =674303128

Hmm. Didn't know about the Lobo. Looks like those are just higher trim F150s for the Mexican market? GM does something similar with theirs. They're called Cheyenne instead of Silverado.
