Ford F-Series: 13 Generations
Not many vehicles can say they’ve had 13 generations. The F-Series is still going strong today and has changed dramatically over the years.
The Ford F-Series is literally Ford’s saving grace right now — their ace in the hole. It’s been the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for 38 years, year in and year out. At a time when Ford is trying to figure out its identity, cutting all of their sedan and car lines except for the Mustang, switching to SUVs and crossovers … the F-Series remains strong.
But the truck comes from humble beginnings. Ford is, after all, the company that brought us the Model T, which put America on wheels. Then the Model TT with a pickup truck bed came out and stunned everyone in the 1910s and ‘20s. It wasn’t until after World War II that the F-Series would finally be introduced.
And they quickly had a winner on their hands. Every year the truck seems to sell better than the last, and it’s now reaching the tail-end of its 13th generation.
