F150 sells in the USA. In Mexico, they call it a LOBO, and its labeled as such. It somewhat tricks your eye, as the F150 logo and LOBO logo look quite similar.

I guess what you are seeing in Illinois, is an attempt in Mexicanizing the F150...

From Hong Krong.

Looks like a combo of a King Ranch and an Avalanch.

Ha ha Ha! This was one of the actually laughing out loud moments! I'm still laughing.

I live in new mexico... the state. And I see Lobo's pretty frequently a la. But Never a KR Lobo. I think I'd tear up
