You cannot import the truck into either the USA or Canada. It would not meet emission standards and would not have the required USA DOT sticker. A Mexican national can drive that vehicle in the USA but he cannot register it outside of Mexico. There is a Ford Mexico website but it is really bad. Has a few pictures of the interior and the exterior but not much else. Only comes with a 4 cyl.!!!!!!! I will try to get some photos next week.

While I agree that Ford probably did not make the Mexico truck pass California standards (the cost to run the tests is very expensive, as they need to take a truck, drive it 100,000 miles, then pass the emissions tests) I can only guess that the 4 cylinder is one similar to what is used in America and Europe. I am also sure they do not make it produce more smog for use in Mexico. It should have all the same fuel injection, catalytic converter, and the rest of the stuff.
I look forward to seeing production of the Ranger again. Some people just want a compact truck. I would hope they call it a F-100 or F-50 so that it can join the best selling F-series of trucks! They could start selling 1,000,000 a year if they added all the truck badges together.

The Mexican Ford Ranger for 2016, is the older Global Ranger with a smaller 2.5 litre Diesel instead of the 3.2 litre engine. Mexican Emission Standards are .In 2013, Mexico adopted CO2 emission and fuel economy regulations for light duty vehicles 2894 that are harmonized with the US EPA standards for model year 2012-2016 vehicles and call for an average fuel economy of 14.9 km/L (35 mpg) in new vehicles by MY201
A Mexican vehicle would be illegal here .US Diesels are still illegal here, unless modified to meet to meet Euro 5 regs
