The Pickup That Rode Like a Car: The 1973 Ford F-100 Revolution
The 1973 Ford F-100 pickup launched the highly successful sixth-generation F-Series, often called the “Dentside.” This generation focused heavily on driver comfort and safety, introducing a larger cab and moving the fuel tank from behind the seat. With standard front disc brakes and the exclusive Twin I-Beam suspension, the 1973 Ford F-100 pickup set new standards for ride quality and utility, successfully bridging the gap between a rugged work vehicle and a daily driver.
