Well, let me tell you, these Mexican pickup trucks, they are something else. You see them all over the place, you know? Everybody’s got one. Big ones, small ones, all colors. They use ’em for everything, I tell ya. Hauling stuff, going to town, even taking the whole family out. Mexican pickup truck is like a family member, really.
My neighbor, he’s got one. Old blue thing. He calls it “El Burro.” Don’t know why. Maybe ’cause it works like a donkey. He’s always loading it up with something. Wood, rocks, you name it. That truck, it just keeps going.
What to know about buying a car?
- You gotta check it real good. Make sure it ain’t gonna fall apart on you. Look at everything before buying a car.
- You need papers, lots of papers, for a car in Mexico. They call one paper “REPUVE”, I think. And you gotta register it, too.
- Don’t matter if you’re from here or there, anyone can buy a car in Mexico. Just go to a dealer or someone selling one. Easy peasy.
And another thing, you can ride in the back of those Mexican pickup trucks! Yep, right out in the open. Now, you can’t have the driver drinking, no sir. But the folks in the back, they can have a little something if they want. It’s different down there, I tell ya.
I heard some folks talking ’bout these Mexican pickup trucks not being cheap, though. Even the old ones. This ten-year-old small truck, for example. They say it ain’t much cheaper than getting one up north, in the United States. I don’t know ’bout all that, but I guess it’s true. Everything costs money these days.
If you wanna buy one of these Mexican pickup truck, you gotta do your homework. See what’s out there, how much they cost. It’s a whole different world down there with cars. They got all kinds, just like we do. But they are different. Some are smaller, some bigger.
What is RFC?
Now, this RFC thing. It’s like a number, I guess. They say you need it for all sorts of things. Selling your house, opening a bank account, even buying a car. If you ain’t got one, you’re in trouble. Can’t do this, can’t do that. It’s a headache, that’s what it is.
And if you want to take one of these Mexican pickup truck back to the States, oh boy. More papers! You gotta prove it’s yours. Title, bill of sale, something from the factory. And it’s gotta be safe, you know? Up to their standards. Emissions and all that. It’s a whole process, I tell you.
Some of my neighbors, they only buy Mexican pickup trucks. They love it. They say it runs forever and it is cheap, but some say it’s not that cheap. I don’t know. I never buy cars. I only have a donkey.
These Mexican pickup truck, they’re tough, I’ll give ’em that. They can handle anything. Rough roads, heavy loads, you name it. They’re built to last, that’s for sure. Not like some of those fancy cars you see around here. One little bump and they’re done for.
I remember this one time, I saw a Mexican pickup truck carrying a whole cow! Can you believe that? Right in the back. Just driving down the road like it was nothing. You wouldn’t see that with a regular car, no sir.
So, yeah, these Mexican pickup truck, they’re a big deal. They’re like a part of life down there. Everybody’s got one, everybody needs one. They’re workhorses, that’s what they are. And they just keep going and going, no matter what.
You can see a lot of old people, they are driving old Mexican pickup truck. And they fix it themselves. They don’t need a mechanic man. They just do it. They are happy with it.
Sometimes, young boys, they drive fast. They drive these old truck so fast. It’s dangerous. They should be careful. You need to be careful when driving these trucks. They are big and heavy. You can get hurt.
Anyway, that’s all I know about Mexican pickup truck. They’re good trucks, I guess. Just be careful if you’re gonna get one. And make sure you got all those papers! Don’t want any trouble with the law, you know? And be careful when driving. Especially if you have a whole family in the back!
