150Ford F-150 The Ford F-150's formal introduction (by badge designation) came in 1975. As legend goes, and with the truck rolling out just as the U.S. was recovering from a major fuel crisis, F-150—with a GVWR of 6,050 pounds—was positioned between F-100 (4,700 to 5,650 pounds, depending on wheelbase) and F-250 in order to somehow circumvent emissions restrictions by being categorized in the heavy-duty truck class with less stringent rules. The play proved to be successful, as F-150s didn't need to have catalytic converters, smog pumps, or other parts, and they could still burn "regular" leaded gasoline, while F-100 was relegated to using only unleaded fuel. To date, the iconic truck has experienced a 46-year production term that has seen many styling changes—rounding the body in 1997 to mimic Super Duty and pioneering the use of all-aluminum exterior panels in 2015 are probably the most notable—as well as engine improvements (the advent of 4.6L, 5.4L modular, 5.0L Coyote V-8, 3.0L diesel, and 3.5L EcoBoost and hybrid V-6 engines), special editions (50th Anniversary NASCAR, Harley-Davidson, SVT Lightning and Raptor), different trim levels (XL, XLT, Lariat, FX2, FX4 etc. ), and a host of accessories and option packages.
