Do you think the red/white reflective stripes also are mandatory in China because of their narrow roads? They sure detract from the looks, just like the clearance lights. Glad to live in the USA!! Also, don't see a single one w/ the beadlocks, maybe just a coincidence.

I think there is a huge profit margin in doing this. I heard they had GEN 1s sell for like 150k over there? Basically someone here has to buy one drive it around the lot and it becomes a 'used' vehicle and avoid paying the high taxes on new vehicles imported in to china. So works for everybody. Where i live benz, bimmer and porsche dealers have black listed customers who tried this tactic multiple times and the cars ended up in China.

Edit: NVM just read they are selling GEN 2s in China anyways. Still they sell for double the price they do here. Will have to check if there is much of difference between 'used' and 'new' ones.

Yes the Red/White stripes are mandatory. I have no idea why, I think it is because of the vehicle class these fall into in China. Ford is exporting these directly to China, which they did not do for the Gen 1 trucks.

I do not have any data, but I know a guy, who told me these trucks are going for well over $100K in China.

BL most likely made in China so they can source them "locally".

Would of been nice if they built all the American trucks first!!!

AMERICA FIRST

There going for over $100K here to at some California and Tucson dealers

I made a post about Ford shipping to China on here a few days ago. This is why so many Americans still don't have build dates from summer orders. Ford should fill their bread and butter USA customer orders first then send the surplus to China when supply meets demand. Not Cool Ford!!

I agree with your sentiment. I also think there are a number of celebrities getting put in front of us regular folks.

Those smoked headlights are sexy and I'm not a fan of smoked lights
