2018 Ford f250 6.7 bound for mexico

Ok maybe a 2019. I work for a Railroad. From time to time we have load shifted auto racks come into our yard. An auto rack is a railcar that is usually a double decker, with metal grate on the floor to install wheel chocks on automobile to "hold" in place during transport. Best laid plans do not always work out. Sometimes the vehicles will jump the chocks and you have a crash up Derby inside the railcar. Sometimes they move so much they hang out the doors

Anyways, back to my story....

Car load consisted of 3 f250 xlt's with the 6.7. Other SUVs of Ford and Lincoln design were also present.

Was looking at window stickers, just to see what they were asking for them. No such data, said for use in Mexico only.

Went to fuel tank filler, guess what? No DEF tank. No exhaust filter, straight from the factory, DELETED!

Dang all these aftermarket tuners, factory pcm right here!

Thanks EPA!

This is what an auto rack looks like. No it is not for transporting prisoners or other such nonsense.

And they can register and drive them there, and drive them up here too.

But you can't go down there and buy one, and bring it back here and have it registered.
