Seeing this replica of the F-650 built in 2010 around the frame of a local Class-5 version of the Cargo, since the local medium-duty versions of the F-Series had been phased out in 2005 because Ford was not willing to update it to Euro-3 emission rules, it becomes quite clear how Ford made a considerable amount of mistakes. A medium-duty F-Series was still better than a cab-forward for some vocational applications, and some regional export markets which used to be supplied with the Brazilian-made trucks are still more favorable to longnose trucks instead of the flatnose ones.
