FactThis was the only Brazilian pickup derived from a two-wheel-drive car ever offered with four-wheel drive.
The Ford Pampa is a coupe utility manufactured by Ford do Brasil between 1982 and 1997, derived from the Corcel II and later the Del Rey, and for several years the best-selling coupe utility in Brazil; over 350,000 were sold. Launched in 1982 as the second such vehicle after the Fiat Fiorino ("City"), it had a Corcel II front and a loading bay inspired by the US F-100, and unlike the Fiat's independent rear suspension a rigid rear axle on semi-elliptic springs for heavier loads (up to 620 kg); Volkswagen's Saveiro (from the Gol) and Chevrolet's Chevy 500 (from the Chevette) followed. The 1.6-litre engine developed 66 hp (49 kW) on petrol and 69 hp (51 kW) on alcohol for a maximum speed of 100 mph (160 km/h), with a 76-litre tank; for 1984 it received the CHT engine (75 hp / 56 kW on alcohol, 73 hp / 54 kW on petrol, 160 or 156 km/h) and a 4x4 version, the only Brazilian pickup derived from a two-wheel-drive car to be offered with four-wheel drive. The L and GL models arrived in 1986 with the 4x4's front, the 1987 model year got the Del Rey front and a Ghia version with electric windows, the larger VW AP-1800 became available in 1989 (not on the 4x4s), the 1991 S version used the 1.8 of the Gol GTS and Escort XR3 for a top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h) with side strakes, alloys, front spoiler with fog lights and Ghia equipment, and the 1992 model took the discontinued Del Rey's front. In 1994 the 1.8 got an electronically controlled carburettor, in 1995 the Ghia and 1.6 GL 4x4 were dropped and for 1997 single-point injection arrived; the Fiesta-based Courier replaced it. Wheelbase 2,578 mm (101.5 in), length 4,425 mm (174.2 in), width 1,674 mm (65.9 in), height 1,401 mm (55.2 in), curb weight 1,015–1,050 kg (2,238–2,315 lb).

The GMT400 split the twins for good: 1988 was the year "C/K" became Chevrolet-only badging, while GMC's version of the very same truck became the Sierra.
GMC found 10 extra horsepower in the Sierra All Terrain X's 5.3L V8 with nothing more than a performance exhaust, no other changes needed to go from 355 to 365 hp.
This Sierra kept rolling off the line for a full extra year after its replacement arrived - badged "Classic" in 2007 just to tell the two generations apart on dealer lots.
When this GMT900 Sierra launched for 2007, GM kept selling the outgoing truck alongside it, badged "Classic," so buyers could choose old or new side by side on the same lot.
Toyota showed it as the T150 until Ford sued over the likeness to the F-150, and the production truck was renamed Tundra.
A Louisiana owner put over a million miles on his 2007 Tundra in eight years; Toyota gave him a new truck and took his apart to study it.
Toyota's Texas Tundra plant sits on land bought from the state's oldest working cattle ranch, and the 1794 Edition is named for the year that ranch was founded.
Its launch colours had pun names such as "Anti-Establish Mint" and "Freudian Gilt", sent to Lee Iacocca by a friend.
