Ford F-Series Repair

The Ford F-Series is a sequence of full-size pickup trucks manufactured by Ford, an American automaker, since 1948. F-Series trucks are placed above the Ford Ranger in size. Beginning in 1999, the F-Series included the Super Duty series, marketed as heavy-duty pickup trucks, medium-duty trucks, and chassis cab trucks. The F-Series includes the F-150 pickup truck, F-250 through F-450 pickup trucks, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty chassis cabs, and F-650 and F-750 Super Duty Class 6-8 trucks.

In 1948, the Ford Bonus-Built was released as the first generation of the F-Series line. The Bonus-Built was sold in eight weight ratings with five different body styles, including pickup, panel truck, and school bus chassis styles. Since 1948, variants of the F-Series have been produced, primarily consisting of trim packages and high-performance versions.

F-Series trucks have been the top-selling pickup truck in the United States since 1977 and the best-selling vehicle since 1981. The most common variant of the F-Series is the F-150 pickup truck. In 2018 alone, approximately 909,000 Ford F-series vehicles were sold in the United States.

Ford trucks are known for their endurance. A 2014 study found that, out of 30 million cars with over 200,000 miles, 4.2 percent were F-250 pickup trucks. F-150 pickup trucks also scored well in the study.

Ford vehicles can be identified by the Ford emblem, which depicts the name “Ford” in a cursive font. F-Series vehicles can generally be identified by an F-Series emblem, which typically depicts the F-Series variant’s title in capital letters.
