1994-1996 Ford F-150 SuperCab Flareside. I've only ever seen those wheels on the F-250, but as far as I know, all Flaresides of this generation were F-150's. -- Last edit: 2010-04-13 20:04:48 |

Made for japan? |

Why, yes! Extra repeater on the front fender.... |

But isn't this most likely a model that was imported privately? I thought the "Made for..." field was for cars that were imported specifically for that particular nation. |

All American cars in japan are private imports, since american automakers no longer make cars in japan. |

So then it's not really made for Japan, right? I thought we had solved this issue before. |

Okay |

Revisiting the issue ten years later, I believe that this should indeed be labeled as Made for J. This is due not only to the front repeaters but the installation of export taillamps where indicator bulbs take the place of backup lights and an auxiliary backup light installed on the rear bumper. While few American automakers sell models at a dealership-scale in Japan anymore, all imported vehicles from the USDM, whether or not they are sold by private party or through a dealer network, must abide by Japanese government regulations. Also note the comparativeley rarer configuration of a Supercab flareside. I am not 100% certain, but this vehicle may have been imported because of its diminished cargo space compared to the standard bed F-150, which is one of the items in which Japanese vehicular tax fees are calculated upon. |
