Did you know that Mercury made trucks? I didn’t.

Sorry for the quality, I thought i did a better job than that. I guess it was just a Canadian thing.

If you count SUV’s as trucks they did make the Mountaineer too.

It was indeed a Canadian thing. There’s all sorts of Canada-only American cars, like this Meteor Rideau:

Yes, it was a Canada only thing. Just like Fargo trucks on the Dodge side.

They did, because not every place in Canada had a nearby Ford dealer. Places that only had a Mercury dealer were sold the Mercury badged trucks so they would have the same complete lineup as the Ford dealers elsewhere.

Interesting. That’s a lot cooler than another more recent canada only car, the pontiac wave lol.

The waitress at work was watching a hallmark movie last week and one of the characters drove a Beaumont Acadian (the SD was the equivalent to SS). It was a pretty big part of the plot, too. Apparently hallmark channel likes obscure muscle cars.
