Tough Truck Heritage


In 1948, Ford introduced the F-1 pickup to a booming post-war America and marked Ford’s first all-new line of post-war civilian vehicles. Advertised as “Built Stronger to Last Longer,” the

F-Series became a symbol of America’s economic prosperity, going to work on the job site, at the factory and on the farm.

Moving forward, the F-Series’ “Excitedly Modern” and “Totally Different” design infused car-like elements into the light truck market. With its smooth body contours, integrated headlamps and innovations like the one-piece windshield, the F-Series launched a phenomenon that would see the scope of light trucks expand from the farm and factory to the American driveway.

While capability is still paramount, evidenced by F-150’s class-leading trailer tow and payload capabilities, light duty pickup trucks have evolved significantly during the past decade. The
F-150 has been leading the pack, offering creature comforts and innovations that were once found exclusively on passenger vehicles.

“Ford trucks continue to lead with smart solutions to make any job easier,” said Crowley. “And we’re not letting up. We are hard at work on the next generation of Built Ford Tough trucks with breakthrough innovations that will lead the way for the next 60 years.”

The F-Series continues today as America’s favorite vehicle, approaching 33 million sales since its introduction in 1948. F-Series has topped the truck sales charts for the past 30 consecutive years and boasts the recognition of being America’s best-selling vehicle for 26 of those 30 years.
