Reader Spy: U.S. Border Patrol finally gets its leatherless Ford Raptors

NICE!



So, what to do? Put in an extra-special order with Ford, make a few phone calls (give us what we want... or else...) and patiently await delivery – a truckload of specially liveried pickups that Autoblog reader Matt happened photograph and send in to us. We went ahead and contacted Ford to be sure that it managed to deliver the authorities the Raptors it wanted, and we got an affirmative... sort of.

They use the Hilux overseas because they can buy them cheap locally and leave them behind when they pull out.

Wait, the government didn't use their own companies for the trucks?
