The Ford F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150) has just picked up a doppelganger in China. According to CarNewsChina, Jianghuai Auto Corporation has just unveiled its new 4R3 pickup, and sure enough, the vehicle looks to be a near carbon copy of America's best-selling truck. JAC reportedly wants to provide buyers in China (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/china), Africa (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/africa) and South America (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/south america) with a larger, inexpensive work vehicle. While the appearances of the Ford F-Series and 4R3 visuals differ ever so slightly, the similarities far outweigh the incongruities. According to CNC, JAC is a fairly small automaker in the People's Republic that specializes in rebodied Hyundai (http://www.autoblog.com/hyundai) cars, SUVs and pickups.
Word has it the 4R3 will be powered by a 2.8-liter diesel four-cylinder engine generating just 108 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. There's no word on cost at this point. The JAC 4R3 is set to debut at the Beijing Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/beijing motor show) in April, though there's no telling how long the vehicle will be on the market before the company gets a call from the lawyers in Dearborn.
