2005 Ford F-150 King Ranch
Back in 1948, Ford introduced their new line of pickup trucks that included the F 1, the F 2 and the F 3. Buyers had the choice between a 95 hp inline 6-cylinder and a 100 hp V8 engine. Over the last sixty years or so, the F-150 has become the benchmark in the full-size pickup world. I cannot imagine that Ford knew, at that time, that they had just launched one of the most successful lines of cars or trucks every manufactured in North America. Actually, if the trend continues, the Ford F-150 will be, in the next few years, the best selling truck over the past thirty years.
