For over five decades, the Ford F-150 has been the top-selling truck in Canada. With each generation, the F-150 continues to get better and better. 54 years ago, consumers started to see just how reliable and durable the F-150 truly is.

How did the Ford F-150 Become so Popular?
Ford first debuted its iconic F-series pickup trucks back in 1948. Back then, there weren't a lot of options for people who were looking for a vehicle that was able to efficiently keep up with the workload of farmers and construction workers. To fill this void, Ford created a line of pickup trucks that were tough and durable.
In the early '70s, many consumers were wanting something more out of the F-series lineup. The F-100 didn't have quite enough power for people who needed to use their trucks primarily for hauling heavy loads. The F-250, however, was considered to be too powerful to use a daily driver. In order to try and better suit everyone's needs, Ford created the F-150 in 1975. Because this truck was perfect for both work and play, the F-150 became an instant hit and has continued to be the best-selling truck since that time.
