Ford Trucks F-100
The first F-100 redesigned the F-Series with a lower, roomier cab that Ford called "driverised" — meaning engineered around the human rather than around the mechanical components. Its new cab-wide floor, lower step-in height, and wider seats began Ford's long tenure as America's best-selling truck brand.
