Yes F350's were built in Australia
Many might think that U.S. HD Pickup Trucks are a recent or unknown quantity in Australia. That is not the case. Unfortunately here they were released at the wrong time or used for the wrong purpose....

Now that is interesting so they are actually running COE Mercedes?
Yup. Fully loaded at 105,500 pounds (legal limit in Oregon without an overweight trip permit). I suspect it may replace the Argosy in the US, as operators who pull triples still are bound by overall length limits, so a short tractor means 1 or 2 of the trailers can be a little longer. Right now you have to buy an Argossy "glider chassis" then add your own engine or rear axle, to get a new cabover.
Also they are running some new Mercedes low-cab-forward trucks as garbage trucks in Portland. I'm sure also for testing purposes. Pretty sharp looking for a garbage truck!
You see some neat stuff around Portland since they're based here. There's a new Kenworth running around in full automaker cammo, and about 3 months ago I saw Optimus Prime heading southbound in I-5. Maybe heading for another Transformers shoot?
