Ford still make trucks. No, not just what the Americans call trucks but actual commercial trucks where you get to use each of the gears more than once. Ford Europe bailed out of the truck business in the 1990s when they sold out to Iveco but they continue in developing markets with operations in Brazil and Turkey.

Have a Turkish Cargo 1846. You’re welcome.

Not a bad looking machine.

Ford also used to own Sterling, but I think they sold it off to someone else a few years ago. (International perhaps?)

But Steam doesn’t have mods and I’m too lazy to install them otherwise...

Also, both Fargo and DeSoto still exist... As Turkish truck brands.

Turkey’s weird.

Yeah that’s a problem... One that I’m confident won’t get fixed anytime soon.

Sucks.

It wound up under the chaos that was known as DaimlerChrysler, and then shuttered their doors in 2009.

I thought sterling was owned by dodge for a long while. Hence whe you see dodge rams with sterling grill mods

Huh. I never knew they closed. That's kind of sad.

I think FCA technically owns the remnants of Ford’s heavy truck production in the US. Ford sold the rights to the Aeromax & L-Series trucks to Freightliner, who is owned by Chrysler.

Oooh, a Constellation! From VW Brazil. Why VW use their own name there rather than MAN or Scania is another matter.

I guess because they need a lower cost brand, they also make smaller, cheaper trucks:

Edit: Their truck ad’s are actually uploaded to their MAN’s youtube channel, so I guess they sell them through their dealers.

It is. My guess is that Freightliner, Mack, Kenworth and International have the market firmly in their grasp and know how to keep the competition from getting an edge where the heavy trucks are concerned.
