No they are not the same, very different. The current F150 uses several frames, for different applications, Global Pickups are built to take vastly more punishment than any U.S Pickup could imagine
Before the Colorado 71/ Shiner Box start their UAW sponsored Trolling, I would very much agree, that the capabilities of these " Global Pickups" is very impressive
Robert, that is completely and utterly false. The F150 does NOT have several different frames for different applications. The different frame sizes are for different truck configurations and wheel bases like how the global trucks have different frame lengths for different configurations. Check for yourself on page 11 2014 F150 Technical Specifications.
Your constant saying that American trucks are c-rap while your Global trucks are a lot better is getting old and is based on a complete farce. I am not saying that midsize trucks are bad at all like you claim I am saying and I actually like a few of them. However the reason for the difference in payload ratings has more to do with each country's regulations then their capabilities as 4x4 Dodge and I have been trying to explain to you with proof, but you refuse to listen and continue to spew the same BS.
Now you are purposely trying to disrespect me by calling me "Shiner Box" instead of by my name and call me all troll all because I have proved your "global trucks are better and US trucks are crap" theories wrong. You also say I am apart of some UAW agenda when that cannot be further from the truth. Check out where I live. We are a right to work state and I would fight to keep it that way.
If each country's regulations did not have any effect on the payload and towing capacities of these truck, then this global Ranger would not have different payload capacities for each country even though it is the exact same truck.
