Thailand, South Africa, Columbia and Vietnam

Didn't realize Ford built anything in Columbia or Vietnam.

Correct. US, Canada and Mexico. 
 

I don’t believe we built this one

 

So is MAP actually building 2024 prototypes yet?

So who else currently builds LH drive versions?

Outside North America, it eould be South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam (CKD)  and Argentina that build LHD Rangers. 

 

South Africa and Thailand build Ranger Raptors. The modified RHD unit that raced in Baja is Australian spec, so that one is made in Thailand.

Doesn't Mexico get the International Ranger and not the US built one? 

 

Baja Ranger Raptor is a RHD Australian unit, so it's ftom Thailand.

No, we build it at MAP. 

 

Are you saying MAP builds Rangers for Mexico or that Map built the one raced at Baja or both?  ?? Just kidding on that second part. Read on....

As proof here's a quote from the Ford Performance website:

 

 “The truck was built by Kelly Racing in Australia, arrived on a plane in California and we  headed straight to Johnson Valley for testing with final prep support from our good friends at  Huseman Engineering. All the guys who drove it were impressed with it but being right-hand drive we all needed a little reprogramming for what it’s like to be driving on the other side of  the truck and not smoke the opposite side against the rocks."

I always thought the small indentation on the front fender flares (photo below) was for the front side marker lights of the North American version.... apparently, that's not the case as seen in the photo above.

What's that indentation on the front fender flares for?

Being an injection-molded part, I'm sure there are multiple tooling and component suppliers, the ROW tools are simply different than the ones that may supply MAP.

I guess an odd unnecessary notch has just appeared on the front fender flare of the RoW Ranger Raptor.
