History of the Ford F-150

Although the Ford F-150 itself goes back to 1975, the legacy of the F-Series of trucks actually dates back much further. The first truck to ever come from the Ford Motor Company was the Model TT, which was based on the Ford Model T and sold in 1917 as a chassis that farmers and others could outfit with a body and anything else they needed. In 1924, Ford started selling the Model TT with a factory-produced body, and a couple of years later, it was selling for just $325, making it an incredibly affordable and capable truck.

This was followed by the Ford Model AA, a truck based on the Model A, which went into production starting in 1927; the Model BB followed this in the early 1930s. Following World War II, Ford introduced its first F-Series truck – this was important because it was no longer based on a car model as the previous Ford trucks had been. With the introduction of the F-Series in 1948, Ford recognized that truck owners needed things that went beyond what could be done with a modified car chassis.

The first generation of F-Series trucks featured a different naming convention than the modern ones, with a half-ton F-1, three-quarter-ton F-2, full-ton F-3, and more. A redesign and launch of a second-generation in 1952 marked the introduction of the modern naming system: the Ford F-100 was the half-ton model, followed by the F-250, the one-ton F-350, and beyond. In 1975, during the sixth generation of the Ford F-Series, the F-150 was introduced as an option between the lighter F-100 and the heavier F-250, creating a new option for a wide range of truck owners.

In 1980, a seventh generation kicked off with a full redesign, and during these years, the popularity of the Ford F-150 surged – ultimately resulting in the F-100 being discontinued. In the 40+ years that have followed, the F-Series has held the top spot as the best selling vehicle in America every single year, with the F-150 as the single-most popular model in the lineup. Today, the F-150 is the gold standard of trucks in the American auto industry, and no other model can come close to the prestige, power, and reputation that it offers.

In fact, the 2021 Ford F-150 has been redesigned and updated with amazing new features to make it the best Ford truck ever. What makes the modern Ford F-150 so impressive? Well, consider this:
