All pick up trucks in Mexico are considered cargo carrying trucks!
From the little VW pick up to the Ford F-550, witch is not sold in Mexico!
All vehicles with an open bed in Mexico are cargo carrying trucks for tax purposes, The ford F=150 in Mexico is not designated as an F-150 it is called a LOBO, that way they skirt the tax man.
So the small VW pick up truck how much cargo in weight do you think that it can carry?
The VW truck probably does not weigh more than 3600 pounds, and it is a CARGO CARRING TRUCK! it is used for commerce in Mexico, at a certain point they see a truck wit an axle in the back with four tires, that rings a big bell and all hell brakes loose in their heads, caching, caching, impuesto (tax).
Why don't they let it in, the paperwork for importing the cargo, the camper shell will be horrendous, it is not a MOTORHOME but cargo, it probably will take them a couple of days to figure out how much importation fees to charge plus you will need a broker to do the papeleo, am I of the beaten path NO not at all been there done that, in the late 60s The University of the Americas in Cholula, Puebla purchased a language lab form Germany, the equipment sat in the port of Veracruz for more than one year, all because one misspelled word in a 76 page document! I had to wait more than a year to install it.
