Thanks for the replies.
I have lived in MX for 15 years and am a RP. No USA plates or TIP's for me. I want a 1-ton dually. I prefer a Cummings. I haven't been able to find a decent used diesel truck with MX plates.
I want another RV to play with. I had a 1990 Ford diesel with a slide in Lance and Caribou campers, back in 2006 for 6 years continuously in Mexico(I got lucky and received a 10 RV permit on my truck).
So I am looking to import. I have imported vehicles over the years and am familiar with the process. I am trying to decide if I should try to import a 2010 -11 truck or go for a pre-2007 truck. According to Ed’s post I should not be concerned with LSD, since there is no more being pumped. If I go for an early 2000’s truck than diesel is not an issue but age of the truck is.
BTW, there are ways to import older vehicles. I imported a 1987 minivan 4 years ago. It is just a different tax rate, a different classification, and the Aduana agent getting up an the right side of the bed the day my broker brings the paperwork.
