23. Ford F-1000
When Ford realized Chevrolet was building special models for the Brazilian market and winning buyers over, they decided to do something similar with their truck operation. That’s how the strange and interesting F-1000 came to be. Ford introduced the F-1000 in 1979. It was outdated in styling but advanced in construction.
It featured an extended cab but came with two doors and a short truck bed. They equipped it with an all-wheel drivetrain, which local buyers needed for driving through the jungles of Brazil. However, the most interesting thing was the engine. All F-1000s came with diesel six cylinders and later turbodiesel engines. The engine choices limited the F-1000’s appeal to commercial users. But almost all buyers used them as dependable work trucks. Production ended in 1998 yet those interesting trucks still roam Brazilian roads.
