Ford Courier (South America)

The Ford Courier is a small pickup truck produced by Ford for the South American market. It is manufactured in Brazil and exported to countries such as Mexico. It is based on the 1998 model of the Ford Fiesta. While its frontal treatment is the same as the South African built Fiesta based Ford Bantam "bakkie" pickup, it has a completely different load box.

Its load capacity is 700 kg (1,543 lb). Until 1999 the Courier used the Endura 1.3-liter engine and the Zetec-SE 1.4 16v engine. The Mk IV 1.4 16v Zetec-SE has a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph) and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 12s. Since 2000 both engines were replaced by the Zetec Rocam 1.6-liter. The Mk V 1.6 model has top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph) and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 10 seconds.
