Ford Truck Names: What the Heck Do They Mean?
Earlier this week, we talked about Curb Weight and payload capacity and also how “tonnage” slang doesn’t really apply any longer. Now, let’s put all of that great knowledge to use by deciphering the name’s of Ford, Chevy, and GMC trucks. In this article, we’ll focus on Ford, which is a bit easier to understand than our earlier post on Chevy truck names. For your reference, the automotive slang is in “quotes.”
Ford Truck’s
F100 Truck = “1/2 Ton”
(1953-1982) 4000-5000 GVWR
F150 Truck = “1/2 Ton”
(1975-Current) ~6000 GVWR. The F150 started life as a heavy duty alternative to the F100 (“Nicknamed the “Heavy Half Ton”, it was allegedly intended to dance around new emissions regulations.)
F150 Truck with “7700” Package = “1/2 Ton” Heavy Duty
(1997-04) 7700 GVWR
F250 Truck = “3/4 ton”
(1953-1999) 8500 GVWR
