I live close to the Kansas City plant building the new models. Decided to drive by this past Saturday to take a look and the place was very busy. It was obvious they were building a lot of the new trucks as the lots were filling up fast. I parked across the street and walked over to look through the fence for awhile. The trucks are beautiful. One question, I saw one black SCrew drive by that had a tag on it that said LOBO. The plate was where you would normally find the Lariat or XLT tag. I did not see any other distinguishing marks nor did I get an upclose look. Anybody know what this is?

 

Well, it means "wolf" in Spanish, and in past models it has been the name of trucks sold in Mexico...

 

When you say sold in Mexico, do you mean that Ford has sold a trim package/model by that name in Mexico?

 

From what I understand if you buy an F150 in Mexico it's called a Lobo. Like back in the '50's if you bought an F150 in Canada it was called a Mercury M150...

 

Thanks closer9, that helps.

 

No problem...

 

Went I went to Cozumel last year, every F-150 was a Lobo and the Super Dutys were called F-150s.
