You've probably heard their motto "Built Ford Tough". Well, Ford isn't just referring to its line of pickups. Ford Motor Company is currently the third-largest automaker in the world. Founded on June 16, 1903 by Mr. Henry Ford, this Dearborn, Michigan company has maintained its reputation with personal vehicles and heavy duty trucks. Today, Ford Motor Company is an American multinational company and it is likely that you will find it difficult to find someone who does not know something about this company.
Ford first started making trucks in 1908. Things have changed considerably since that first truck rolled off the assembly line. Eventually, commercial vehicles were produced for the Ford truck line in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, although this manufacturing maneuver did not last long. . . The European company lasted longer than others, although now it does not exist either. In 1986 the European company Ford, called Ford of Great Britain, was sold to the Iveco group and new models of this company are manufactured under the Transcontinental and Cargo Ford Trucks.
The American version of Ford's heavy truck division was sold to Freightliner, which is now part of the Daimler truck line. Since 1997, the brand has been known with the Sterling logo. Although Ford continues to make middle-class pickups today under the ever-popular F-650 and F-750 names, they have also recently added the new LCF series to the lineup, which is somewhat similar to the Ford Cargo trucks of yesteryear.
Ford has received many distinguished awards over the years, including the coveted J.D. Power several times. Although the Ford F-250 and F-350, commercial trucks, and the new E Series are the top Ford trucks in manufacturing today, the Ford name remains synonymous with quality, and many drivers simply don't sit behind the wheel of anything else. You just have to drive across the southern section of the nation to see how Southerner feels about his Ford trucks. Whether you're driving a medium to heavy-duty semi-trailer or just moving around in an F-150, Ford trucks are synonymous with farming, hauling and heavy-duty driving. For many there is simply no substitute. Henry Ford himself must be proudly looking at the reflection his life's work has made on the auto industry.
