    China has become the most profitable car market in the world for most automakers. Many couldn't survive without it. I can tell you that BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen earn over half their profits there nowadays, which is to say, they've become addicted to the Chinese market and couldn't survive without it. Remember, China overtook the US in 2009 to become the world's largest new car market.

    Ted, that's a rebadged SinoTruk (aka. CNHTC) "A7". https://product.360che.com/s0/46_66_pic.html https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53333-daysworth-ressurrects-diamond-reo-brand/?tab=comments#comment-398622

    And that's exactly what I like about it.

    Myself, I don't see any similarity between the new Diamond T and the old International S-Series (except in those pictures they're both white). But to each his own. Given T-Line's small budget, I'm thrilled at their accomplishment and wish them the best.

    Without stating a price, it would seem that you're not actually serious about selling this truck.

    Yes sir. The face of US government tells the masses all about how the US came out ahead, as Clinton did with NAFTA 1.0, and most shrug and believe it. All US market cars, aside from low volume niche models, should be produced in the US. I say that, because as the world's no.2 new car market by size, we can demand it. But the world's auto and truckmakers don't want that, and big business runs the world (e.g. how NAFTA came to be).

    I say nothing is "confirmed" until the official Kenworth announcement.

    U.S., Mexico reach deal on auto portions of NAFTA Reuters/Bloomberg / August 27, 2018 Under the tentative agreement, automakers would be required to manufacture at least 75 percent of a light vehicle’s value in North America under the new rules -- up from 62.5 percent -- in order to qualify for zero tariffs. Automakers will also be required to use more local steel, aluminum and auto parts, and have a certain proportion of the vehicle made by workers earning at least $16 an hour. The White House said Trump will make a trade announcement at 11 a.m. Monday Eastern Time. There is no deal reached yet with Canada.

    Kirk Bell, Motor Authority / March 15, 2018 Ford Motor Company revealed it is betting big on SUVs in the future Thursday. “Ford helped start the off-road phenomenon and has majored in off-road capability for decades—from the Bronco to the Raptor,” said Jim Farley, Ford president for global markets. “Now, we’re ready to reclaim our rightful place as the off-road vehicle leader.” The teaser image for the Bronco shows a distinct upright and retro shape, along the lines of the Jeep Wrangler or the original World War II Jeep. Powertrains were not discussed .

    What would you know Mark? You have 7 to 10 Brinks Home Security personnel patrolling the grounds of each of your five homes at any one time. The only thing that gets by them is a Kardashian.

    The grille and headlamps look tacky to me, not model year 2020 material.

    Absolutely something to be said for that.

    Amazon (Jeff Bezos) recently bought Blink for $90 million. So I’d first look there.

    Bob, you know that I was planning to buy a US market Ranger and Everest, one each. But now we know Ford took the already perfect Ranger and ruined it. Only one engine and transmission.....no 2.2L and 3.2L diesel options, bland appearance, no manual transmission and I'm sure they added the essential Ford US market engine fire package as they did with the global market Kuga (known in the US as Escape). And, Ford has apparently butchered the Everest to make something with the Bronco badge. Ford lost two sales. But then, what does one expect from an automaker focused on train station renovations.
