The Ford F-Maxx pickup has a six-cylinder engine, 400 hp turbodiesel and a 10-speed gearbox.

Tropical Cabines, a Ford branch, was one of the companies most impacted by the closure of Ford production in Brazil. The company founded in 1985, which started work at the factory creating double cabin versions of Ford and Chevrolet model pickups, decided to specialize and direct its services to adapting pickup trucks, either by style or by specific needs requested by companies and customers. During the reforms in series models, there was a unique transformation: the company managed to obtain a strong and robust vehicle, with a 400 hp engine and truck chassis. Within the universe of cars, pickup trucks are the only ones that, as the segments grow and different trucks are assembled, seem increasingly imposing, in addition to having high-displacement engines and a distinctive design.
