Sean Van Goiter reminds me of a character that Jon Lovitz played on SNL in the late 80s (for those of you that were alive then):

"Yep, my Maverick was built in the good ol' USA. Sometimes I let my wife ... uh... Morgan Fairchild drive it. Yeah, that's it; that's the ticket."

Why do we have a whole thread dedicated to someone, who posted something, somewhere, that is likely FOS?

I feel like I just stepped into a water cooler conversation about how another water cooler group talks about stupid stuff 😵.

What my Texas Edition XL may not be true...got the badge.
I have a Texas Edition XLT. This reminds me of the threads for the US built 2.5L engines for the hybrid. The claimant there also refused to show the actual ID sticker which clearly shows the build location.

Mine was built in Hermosillo on “Clothing Optional Friday “, does that make it even more rare?

A guy in a fairly large Facebook group has a Rouge Plant decal on his truck and claims a few Mavericks were built there very early in MY22. I immediately asked for his VIN and don't expect an answer.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I'm 99.99% certain the sticker was bought online and applied, whether it was the current owner or before he bought it and he actually believes the story.

The difference between lying and just being wrong sometimes just takes a lack of awareness that you're wrong. And it's not Rogue, it's Rouge as in a shade of the color red, or in this case, the Rouge River in Michigan.

Mine's even more rare as it was built by the Easter Bunny. I'll send a picture to prove it as soon as I get more film for my iPhone.

Although, technically Mexico is also in "North America".
True, and I believe that it can be considered Central America as well, although I have heard it both ways 🙂

No chance. Any test mules were either destroyed or not sold to the public.
No chance? Or maybe a small chance due to an error in tracking the “mules.”

Central America is in-between North and South America. It consists of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.
