I guess Ford was too busy building a shit ton of Raptors for China to build your truck.

The article didnt say how many went to China, anyone know how many? I know its upsetting to wait for your summer orders when a bunch is being shipped to China.

This would be a very expensive truck to own and operate in China. The import tax is probably 25%, plus the retail prices are probably 25-30% higher than here, and there is further taxes on the engine size, plus their gas is much more expensive.... so they are paying a lot more for it than you are.... if that makes you feel better.

I'm confused ...

It looks like the ENTIRE intercooler is covered with the license plate frame?!?!?! There doesn't seem to be any direct airflow to the IC .... :shrug: Looks like all 1 piece as well.

On one hand, it kinda ****** me off.

On the other hand, I am CONFIDENT that Ford will make more on each truck that goes to China than they will on my truck. Given that, I absolutely understand the decision.
