The sixth generation of the Ford F-Series, produced from 1973 to 1979, marked a significant shift in design and functionality. These trucks featured a more squared-off and modern appearance, with increased interior space and improved safety features. In 1975, Ford introduced the F-150, a new model that would go on to become the most popular and enduring member of the F-Series lineup. The availability of V8 engines and four-wheel-drive options further expanded the F-Series' versatility and appeal, solidifying its position as a top choice among American pickup truck buyers. This generation also saw the introduction of extended and crew cab configurations, catering to a broader range of consumer needs, and set the stage for the F-Series' continued success in the decades to come.
