SUV derived from the Ranger pickup would enter a segment dominated by the Toyota SW4, but, contrary to speculation, it would not come from Argentina

Suspicions also indicated that the model could use the same mechanics as the pickup truck. But, Ford does not confirm and alleges difficulties in assembling the SUV in Argentina.
The automaker left between the lines that it may be due to an excess of taxation by the local government. So, won’t the Brazilian market have Ford’s Everest SUV based on the Ranger? Ford says it does intend to bring the model, not from Argentina, but from Thailand.
