We get industry news reports and the information (like any media source) never agrees with anything else you hear or see.

I just found one source that said the F-650 and F-750 trucks were made in Mexico. If I find the original source about the F 150, I will let you know. I also found that 2004 F150’s will be made in the U.S.A. The numbers of trucks manufactured here does not seem to add up if you take into account last years sales. The case of the missing trucks! I looked at 26 years of manufacturing F 150's and after reading the clips - who knows?

I don't know what folks in the north emisphere think about him, but what I saw touched me. This very same problem was addressed in the last week's issue of the VEJA magazine in Brazil (they're talking about what's going on Japan!).
