Get Fords complete story in Ford Tough 100 Years of Ford Trucks and see why they’ve dominated the truck market, selling 1.5 million trucks every year in the US alone.
In July 1917 Ford Motor Company introduced a one-ton chassis for commercial trucks, marking what many historians feel was its official entry into the dedicated truck business. Sure, after-market pickup beds could be added to a Model T car to convert it to a pickup, but with the debut of the rugged Model TT truck chassis, Ford was firmly in the truck market.
Eight years later, Ford introduced its first factory-produced pickup, a sturdy half-ton job the public loved. During the century that has passed since that first Ford truck chassis, the F-series has become the best-selling truck in the world, and the best-selling vehicle of any type in America.
Ford Tough 100 Years of Ford Trucks tells the entire Ford truck story from the very beginning, when Ford got its start in truck production. This book provides the history of the wide array of models Ford has built over the past century, including the Model A roadster pick-up, stylish 81C pickups, legendary 1948 F-1, Bronco, Courier, Ranchero, and Econoline.

Ford Tough 100 Years of Ford Trucks Patrick R Foster 9780760352175 Books Reviews
- This is a great coffee table book with lots of quality color pictures. However, it is heavy on light trucks and light on heavy trucks. Having worked at Ford in Dearborn, MI as a heavy truck engineer I was disappointed on the lack of coverage with respect to the Louisville "L" Series and the Heavy Duty "CL" Series with its innovate air ride cab. That being said, if you are looking for a quick overview on the history of Ford trucks with lots of pictures you can't go wrong.
- Ok product could be a bit bigger screen for us older people to see better.... content lacks much on technology and more recent products
- Good review! Ford trucks helped build America and keeps it running. And the F-150 is the highest selling vehicle in the USA because everyone wants one.
- For Fords fans !
- Great info and pictures
- Very good history of the Ford Truck
- Great book
- I just finished reading this book I just got On Ford Trucks,Ford Tough100 Years of Ford Trucks tell's the story on Henry Ford Started up to his decision to offer a True Truck for The Blue Oval and not just one based on one of his then existing cars or cars chassis.Excellent throughout with great facts even covering the Ford Heavy Duty Class 8 Market and mentioning Ford's Class 8 Truck Division sale to DaimlerBenz' Freightliner and re-named under then Sterling Trucks(not to be confused with Sterling for over 50 years ago a different american Semi Truck Maker)Sterling of course has been discontinued. But whether you are into The F100,F150/F-Series Trucks or Vans or a Blue-Oval Enthusiast period you will enjoy this book. I am not partial to the The Oval but I do like The LTL9000 AND CL9000 big rigs.I would have like to have seen more photos/info on those but The book is a plus to have in any Ford Fan's library.
