The Ford F 150 is the most popular vehicle in the Ford F Series, a series of full size pick up trucks that the Ford Motor Company has been selling for nearly six decades.
The Ford F 150 has been the best selling vehicle in the United States of America for over twenty years and the best selling truck in that country for thirty years. It is believed that sales of the F Series alone constitute half of all of the Ford Motor Company’s profits in recent years. In the tenth generation of the Ford F Series, Ford decided to split the F 150 and the F 250 / 350 in to two distinct body styles. The new version of the F 250 / F 350 is now known as the Super Duty.
Once it arrived in its tenth generation, sales of the Ford F 150 exceeded to nearly a million units a year. During the final years of the tenth generation, however, sales of the Ford F 150 began to lag behind that of similar vehicles by Dodge.
In the year 1997, Motor Trend Magazine named the Ford F150 the Truck of the Year. A limited range of Heritage Edition F 150s was released in 2004.
