The new Ford F-150 comes as Ford commemorates 100 years in truck management - a heritage that began with the launch of the 1917 Version TT, a vehicle based on the extremely successful Model T car, and expanded, over the course of a century, into the world's very popular truck brand. Ford helped create the SUV segment, initially with the Bronco in 1966, and then with the Traveler more than 25 years earlier.
