This fall, the 2018 Ford F-150 will bring the latest in capability and innovation to Butler. It's the newest update to the Ford F-Series, which has remained the best-selling truck in America for four consecutive decades, selling over 26 million pickups since 1977.
Staying on top hasn't always been easy, but Ford has a century of experience to build on.
In July 1917, the Model TT was the first Ford truck to roll off the factory line. It wasn't much to look at—it shared the same cab as the original Model T, with a wooden-fence style box awkwardly attached to the rear end. Still, this was the first in what would become a modern pickup.
Rural customers found so much utility in the Model TT, that by the time it was replaced by the Model AA a decade later, Ford had sold 1.3 million units.
