Fargo Trucks

Fargo was a truck brand that was built and sold by Chrysler in Canada. Fargo trucks were very similar to the Dodge trucks, but had a different exterior and different names. They were sold by Chrysler and Plymouth dealers. The production began in the late 1920s.

The name Fargo disappeared in 1972 in Canada, but in other countries of the world it has been used for Chrysler in its badge engineering program. Most Chassis Fargo trucks and buses sold in Argentina, Finland, Australia, India and other countries of Europe and Asia, originated in the Chrysler plant in Kew ( London). Most were sold as Dodge or Commer.

Theories about the origin of the name Fargo state that Chrysler so on the wide wild west, symbolized by the city of Fargo ( North Dakota) and wanted to remind the stagecoach line Wells Fargo, others use a play on words from "far " (Eng.: far ) and "go " (Eng.: go, go ) basis, which should allude to the longevity of the vehicles.

Fargo today
