Highly probable it's in Mexico getting chopped up ---- 70% of that country is under total cartel control. The Mexican Federal, State and Local governments are all completely infiltrated with cartel personnel.

I have no earthly idea why Ford (e.g. 6.7L Diesel is Made in Mexico) continues to support this totally corrupt country.

Really??? No idea why??? That's easy,,,,, MONEY.

Ford doesn't give two ****s about what's going on in this country much less Mexico. If their profit margin goes up by 0.01% by building motors in Mexico, then guess what , motors are gonna get built in Mexico. Not exactly a new concept, but I suppose that's just business.

But you are very correct, that truck has a 99% chance of being in Mexico now, maybe getting chopped, maybe getting used as a work truck, but its most likely gone. The sad part is the insurance companies know full well about it, even have agents go down there to look for vehicles to confirm.

When I was stationed in San Diego years ago a young service member got his truck stolen (modest f150 kinda truck, nothing special), he reported it to his insurance company, said insurance company paid out, then a few months later sued him for insurance fraud because they found the truck in Mexico and it appeared intact. Dude then asked , "if you found my truck, why not give it back to me", to which they basically said they can't actually recover the truck because it its Mexico but since the truck was still whole they suspect he left it down there for insurance fraud purposes and were suing him. He won the case , but it still cost him a bunch in attorney's fees.
