It had greater fuel economy than the full-sized pickups of the time. The Courier was manufactured by Toyo Kogyo (Mazda) and imported to North America and sold by Ford Motor Company as a response to the unforeseen popularity of the small Toyota and Nissan\/Datsun Pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the other minipickups of the time, it featured a small (by US standards) four-cylinder engine, a four-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, an impressive load capability of 1,400 lb (635 kg) considering its size, and a fairly small price tag compared to full-sized pickups of the time. To circumvent the 25% \"chicken tax\" on light trucks, Couriers (as with Chevrolet LUVs) were imported in \"cab chassis\" configurations, which included the entire light truck—less the cargo box or truck bed—and were only subject to a 4% tariff. Subsequently, a truck bed was attached to the chassis and the vehicle could be sold as a light truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning in 1977, Ford gave the Courier a fresh look, moving into the more blocky, angular styling that is distinct of 1980s automotive design. The base model engine remained the 1.8 L (1,796 cc) VB engine.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47090873532603,"sku":"849398042397","price":43.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1704\/1809\/files\/1363966-10105-99-720.avif?v=1760128953","url":"https:\/\/store.401games.ca\/products\/amt-ford-courier-minivan-1-25-1210","provider":"401 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
