Pickups are the backbone of the global economy, especially for small and medium-sized businesses that would be lost without this practical and usable way of transport. Pickups are the only car class that endured a full century with very little departure from their original concepts. Of course, pickup trucks have grown in size and power and can carry more than ever, but the basic idea and design have been the same (via AutoWeek).

Among the dozens of models produced in this country, there is one nameplate that has been a symbol of quality and tradition for over 80 years: the Ford F-Series truck. The F-Series is the definitive US pickup, produced in 13 generations in over 35 million examples. Over the years, it has evolved from a rugged workhorse into a lifestyle model. It even morphed into a performance vehicle with the Lightning and Raptor versions. However, it is still the best-selling US vehicle of all time and a piece of Americana on four wheels.
