 Ford Trucks & 4WD

Long before it was America’s best-selling vehicle, the Ford F-Series was the backbone of post-war progress. This archive explores the evolution of "Built Ford Tough," from the 1948 "Bonus-Built" F-1 to the introduction of the revolutionary Twin I-Beam suspension and the birth of the F-150 in 1975. We also feature the rugged Bronco 4x4 and the versatile Ranchero "ute"—vehicles that proved a Ford could be a workhorse all week and a family adventurer on the weekend.
